“Hey, Mom, why does the color red make a bull so mad?”
“Hey, Mom, why is the barbershop pole red and white?”
“Hey, Mom, where does the water go at low tide?”
Questions, questions, questions. A mother is constantly inundated with any number of inquiries from their child. But where to go for answers?
One day you might be able to type your request into a machine called a computer and get the answer instantly. But in the 1950s such wonders are the stuff of fantasy.
Is there a more practical solution?
Yes! You found it at the supermarket of all places. In the corner of the store, an encyclopedia salesman set up shop, covering a folding table with samples of his wares. While you did not return home with a twenty-volume set of heavy books, you did snatch up a promotional brochure and slip it in your purse.
Say hello to “The Book of Knowledge.”
Wow. There’s a lot of information packed into this one pamphlet. Too much to sort through in one sitting.
