- Customs Agency Confusion (4 photos)T-Cubed Here, While it may seem like T-Cubed has been particularly hard on the U.S. Customs Agency, it has not been without cause. Here again is another case, “Charles D. Stone Co. v. John Clark Collector” U.S. Circuit Court, Northern Illin...ois, Case #22754, where one can only ask, “What were they thinking?" These nifty pictures reflect what clearly are religious statues intended for churches [think very large] and as such were to be duty free. However the agent did not recognize these statues as such and levied a duty more appropriate for the retail market. Mr. Stone, a great name for one in his business, won his appeal. The written document reflect the opinion of the appellate judge, probable not what he was thinking.See More

Primarily Teaching is a week-long summer workshop for educators held at National Archives facilities across the country Further information is available at www.archives.gov/education/primarily-teaching- Cards or Chips (3 photos)T-Cubed Here,
Ah, the case of Hip Lung, importer extraordinary of Chicago. Hip Lung has been in our case files before but the cases were not fully documented. But in case # 22535 in the U.S. Circuit Court, Northern Illinois, we have a few a...rtifacts and a very clear decision. When goods are imported they fall into categories and then the import tax is levied. The little red strips you see were classified, if you can believe it, as playing cards. These would be the very first playing cards with invisible letters should you chose to believe that these are playing cards. It was up to Hip Lung to challenge this classification, and he did and he won the appeal. In fact these are counters or as we might say "chips" used in card playing not the cards themselves. Need I add," 'Hip, Hip, Hooray!!,' for Hip?"See More - It's Fire Prevention Week. The Decatur Signal Depot dedicated it's weekly newsletter to this event in 1947.

National History Day Teachers and Students - Check out the latest resource for this year's NHD journey! http://docsteach.org/home/national-history-day- The Clay-Worker (6 photos)T-Cubed Here,
Brick making, a thriving industry across the Midwest at the turn of the Century, sported its own trade paper and magazine. Within each volume were the typical advertisement for industry products, but the Clay Worker went a ste...p further and offered popular articles on foreign countries, pictures of actual clay workers and in the 1893 edition several feature articles on the Chicago World's Fair. As before the actual case, Iron Clad Drier Co. v Harland Brick Co. #22529, in the U.S. Circuit Court, Northern District of Illinois, that pitted two Chicago firms against each other over processing patent rights, is not the story here. Rather the pictures and feature articles hold our attention. Enjoy your trip to the 1890s.See More National Archives at Chicago shared a link.
