Tootsie Roll is a chocolate-flavored taffy-like candy that has been manufactured in the United States since 1907. The candy has
qualities similar to both caramels and taffy without being exactly
either confection. The manufacturer, Tootsie Roll Industries, is
based in Chicago, Illinois. It was the first penny candy to be
individually wrapped in America. (From Wikipedia)

John Larkin as Perry Mason and Joan Alexander as Della
Street in 1950.

Perry Mason was a 15-minute radio crime serial based on the novels
of Erle Stanley Gardner. Broadcast weekdays on CBS Radio from
1943 to 1955, the series was adapted into The Edge of Night which
ran on television for an additional 30 years. 

The actors portraying Mason switched frequently over the first three years of the show’s run, starting with Bartlett Robinson, followed by Santos Ortega and Donald Briggs. John Larkin (above) took over the starring role March 31, 1947, and portrayed Mason until the end of
the series in December of 1955. 

(FoxNews) – A one of a kind 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 is
scheduled to cross the block at the Mecum Auctions event
in Glendale, Ariz., on March 20.

The coupe is one of 20 1967 Corvettes specified with the
L88 option package, which essentially turned them into 
competition cars.

(AP) – An exceptionally rare 15th century porcelain bowl made in
China that somehow turned up at a Connecticut yard sale and
sold for just $35 was auctioned off Wednesday for nearly
$722,000.

The small, white bowl adorned with cobalt blue paintings of
flowers and other designs — one of only seven such bowls
known to exist in the  world — was among a variety of Chinese
works of art sold by Sotheby’s as part of its Asia Week events.
