From the Archives: Arkansas Project Christmas Party, 1921

Blog history buffs will appreciate this treasured rare photo from the Arkansas Project World Headquarters archives, in which publisher David Kinkade invites the boys to join him in his office for the annual Arkansas Project Christmas party (December 24, 1921).

Ah, they were merry times indeed, those halcyon days of yore. We’d all enjoy a cigar and a few drinks and swap stories about years past. Then as the hour grew late, we’d call in the girls from the steno pool and the switchboard so I could give each of them her “Christmas goose.” Back in those days, that always got me a big laugh. When I tried it last year it only got me a big stack of subpoenas.

Blogging forecast for the next few days will be light to sporadic posting, at best, due to family obligations, slow news cycles and a general sense of holiday season lethargy. Ho ho ho.
