Some wonderful paper ads there. Was the newspaper article on microfiche or did you actually get to see the old newspaper itself? I had forgotten that back in the 60s they used to refer to Giant Clams as "Man-eating Clams". That brings back memories of 35mm films in my elementary school classes showing a native pearl-diver getting his foot caught in a giant clam and drowning as the tide came in - pretty thrilling stuff to an 8-year-old kid with an adventurous streak. I'll check my collection for the Continental in Pueblo and get back to you. Very cool post. Thanks! Sabu [ Edited by: Sabu The Coconut Boy 2005-10-18 07:07 ]
