Mechanics Minute presented by President Phil was about flower vases, called a “bud vase,” offered in new Model A’s by Henry Ford. They were made out of silver or glass. The purpose is to combat offensive odors with fresh flowers. Gardenias, Magnolias, and Roses were suggested. Roses, as suggested by Caroline, were the likely flower of choice for fragrance and seasonal availability. Dick noted a number of different styles.
