    Part of the reason is that Sears simply didn't sell as many kit houses in that time period, as the Modern Homes business was still getting off the ground. I think another reason is that houses built from 1908-1913 in the older suburbs tended to be located in areas that were part of of suburban downtown redevelopment efforts and were consequently razed. I've found pre-1913 Sears houses in places like the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, Des Plaines, Woodstock, and now, Itasca.…

    Using the friction caused from rubbing clothing against rocks, and rinsing the clothes in a stream in order to clean them, no doubt became a tedious task in a short time. However, the technology did not exist to improve on this method. That is, not until the year of 1782, when the first washing machine was designed by a man named H. Sidgier from Great Britain. This machine consisted of a cage with wooden rods and a handle that was used for turning.…

    In the early 1900’s tractors were not yet as advanced as they are today. Oxen pulled the first plows that cut into the prairie sod. They were very inexpensive, making it a good option for a farmer that didn’t have a lot of money. However, oxen were often stubborn and unreliable. As soon as farmers could afford to they replaced their oxen with horses. Although horses were more expensive they were much more obedient than the oxen were. Horses than became the main source of power for most Saskatchewan farmers for decades. The number of horses on Saskatchewan farms grew from 84,000 in 1905 to 507,000 in 1911 and by 1921 there were about 1,169,000 horses on Saskatchewan farms.…

    In the following example, the second line of the table specifies that tax due on a salary of $2000.00 is $225.00 plus 16% of excess salary over $1500.00 (that is, 16% of $500.00). Therefore, the total tax is $225.00 + $80.00, or $305.00.…

    In response to the collapse of a number of high-profile firms since late 2001, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002 to enhance corporate governance and thereby restore public confidence. The Act has introduced significant changes in both management’s reporting responsibilities and the scope and nature of the responsibilities of the auditor. When President Bush signed the Act into law, he characterized it as “the most far-reaching reform of American business practices since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.”…

    Humans and machinery have one major difference that sets them apart: emotions. Machines don’t feel emotions the way humans do , or have characteristics like humans. In chapter 5 of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath, Steinbeck is portraying a land owner giving the bad news to a tenant farmer that he is being kicked off his land, who does not take it lightly. Throughout the chapter , Steinbeck is depicting the idea that machinery is void of all human characteristics and emotions.…

    On a net basis, the trade discount of 2% is offset by the borrowing rate of 11%. However, since Clarkson’s profits are driven by volumes, their line of credit allows them to continue their growth in sales.

    I didn’t even notice it at first, it hardly stuck out against its counterparts. Most of the other paintings at the museum were splashed with dazzling colors that seemed to lift their two dimensional images out of the frame. “Hoeing” by Robert Gwathmey, seemed to do just the opposite, it drew me in. It must have been its distorted figures that first captured my attention. Surrounded by beautiful paintings that almost seemed life like, “Hoeing” in comparison, was an abstract oil painting of oddly shaped workers. Berger said, “The way we see thing is affected by what we know or what we believe”. (167) Having rarely been to museums except on school trips my exposure to art has been very limited. In fact, most of what I know to be art is derived from a single drawing course I took in high school. Everything in the course was directed towards making your drawing seem life like; proper shading, three-dimensional drawing. In whatever case, I came to believe “good” art was the piece that looked the prettiest. Standing in the museum hall, I wasn’t disappointed, most of the paintings there were so realistic they bordered on the difference between a painting or photo. But “Hoeing” was not attractive, or at least not in the traditional sense. Even the frame looked like it had been chipped away over half century. Looking at the painting I was surprised at how an arbitrary piece could make it into a museum. The painting itself portrayed a group of African-American famers laboring at multiple tasks. The two-dimensional figures were either prominently dark black or brown and were continually bent over from either work or exhaustion. The sky was a dull gray mixed with tints of blue while the ground was a scorched red and orange. The colors didn’t add for detail but rather for mood. The dark undertones brought a “tiresome” behavior to the painting that was complimented by the painting’s simplicity. This painting did not stick out to me for its…

    The Garden Depot originated in 1985 as a small floral company. It began doing larger business since then, and became a successful floral company. Janice Bowman was hired by The Depot in 2005, and contributed to computer inventory system and a material ordering system. As he found, The Depot still had some potential management issues. Eighty percent of its employees were part-time students who only worked in spring and summer. Furthermore, no formal performance appraisal system was set up, and job description was not quite clear. Since Derek Sinclair was appointed as landscaping manager in 2007, those potential problems got worse. He made inappropriate invoices because of lack of experience, and took little responsibility which lead to job slips, staff problem and customers’ complaints. Disorganized company, irresponsible staff and unqualified staff and manager caused the current situation in The Depot.…
