We also learned there are a lot of facts to be found, so the second half of our two-part series will appear next week.

With a curious mind and a gift for invention, Eddie was always full of new ideas. Between 1934 and 1937, he received more than 20 patents, including his first on a shuttlecock for badminton. In 1936, he patented the Skyliner, a down-filled jacket that was a huge seller. After experiencing hypothermia on a fishing trip, Bauer created and patented the first quilted down-filled jacket in 1940.

• Born in 1899 to Russian immigrants, Eddie Bauer lived in a log cabin on Orcas Island, Washington, off the northwestern coast. Eddie learned to hunt and fish on the island, starting at a very young age. He dropped out of school after the eighth grade and took a job at a Seattle sporting goods store as an errand and stock boy. Here he learned the craft of making fishing poles and lures, and how to refinish golf clubs and tennis rackets. Eddie was a bright young boy and a fast learner. By age18, he was a department manager and was given charge of arranging the front window displays. • At 21, Eddie had a yearning to branch out and try his hand at running his own store. He rented a tiny shop for $15 a month, naming his business “Eddie Bauer’s Tennis Shop,” where he intended to string rackets during the summer, while still leaving time during the colder months for his beloved hunting and fishing. • A brisk business enabled him to expand his shop the following year by adding equipment for fishing, trapping, and golfing.
• Bauer became famous in 1942 when the U.S. Army Air Corps commissioned him to create a jacket to keep World War II pilots warm at high altitudes. The result was a parka that was to become known as the Bomber Jacket. Eddie Bauer also supplied military backpacks, pants, and sleeping bags, which were standard issue for American troops. More than 50,000 flight parkas and 100,000 sleeping bags were sold to the armed forces. Eddie Bauer was the first independent company that the U.S. Army allowed to use their own civilian company logo on an Army-issued uniform. • After the war, Eddie Bauer created a catalog that was mailed to 14,000 soldiers who had worn his products during their service. His mail order business was an immediate success, so he added women’s clothing to his catalog. By 1949, the company had 125 seamstresses. • Over the next several years, Bauer continued to create clothing for extreme weather conditions. During the 1950s, he outfitted several expeditions, including a 1953 climbing expedition to the top of K2 and several journeys through Antarctica. He developed parkas with a rip-stop nylon shell for climbers scaling Gasherbrum, the world’s 11th highest mountain. Jim Whittaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, was outfitted in Eddie Bauer cold weather gear. • Bauer sold his interest in the company in1968 and retired, taking up dog breeding and enjoying the great outdoors, as he had his entire life. The company continued to prosper, partnering with the Ford Motor Company in 1983 to manufacture Eddie Bauer Ford Limited Edition vehicles.

Retailers (from page one) area when the Bal Harbour, Florida store was opened. Today there are 41 Neiman-Marcus stores in 19 states. • Founded in 1994, Old Navy had 500 stores by the year 2000. It was the first retailer to pass $1 billion in annual sales within its first four years in business. Old Navy is owned by Gap, Inc., whose founder was Donald G. Fisher, a 40-year-old real estate developer who became frustrated with his inability to find a pair of jeans that fit him. His successor Millard Drexler launched Old Navy, and named the store after a bar he had seen while walking in Paris. The first store opened in Colma, California, and within a year, 59 more stores had opened. In just eight years, they had opened an astounding 842 stores. • Andrew Saks opened a clothing business in Washington, D.C. in 1867, and was so successful he began to expand to other cities. In 1902, he moved to New York and established Saks & Company on the corner of Sixth Avenue and 34th Street. When Andrew died in 1912, his brother took over the company, later joining up with Gimbel Brothers in 1922.

● You probably won’t be surprised to learn that when author (and noted wit) Oscar Wilde arrived in the United States in 1882, he told the customs officers, “I have nothing to declare except my genius.” ● A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. ● If you’re planning a summer vacation in Maine this year, you might want to keep in mind that in that state, it’s against the law to tickle a woman under the chin with a feather duster. ● Despite the fact that 95 percent of the world uses the metric system of measurement, we in the United States still stubbornly cling to the archaic units of measurement derived from the old British Imperial system. This hodgepodge ranges from the mile (originally the distance a Roman soldier could march in 1,000 double steps) to the foot (originally the length of Emperor Charlemagne’s foot, later “standardized” to the length of 35 barleycorns laid end to end) to a yard (the distance between King Henry I’s nose to his extended fingertips) to an inch (the length from the tip to the first joint of a man’s thumb). ● Brazil nuts do come from Brazil, but they’re not technically nuts; they’re seeds. ● When you think of the band ZZ Top, you probably think of long beards -- that’s become a sort of signature for them. The drummer, though, is beardless -- and his name is Frank Beard. ● A ground squirrel typically has a heartbeat of around 300 beats per minute. During hibernation, though, that drops dramatically -- to only three or four beats per minute. *** Thought for the Day: “Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot are fools, and those who dare not are slaves.” -- Lord Byron

This season, Emmy Award-winner Marg Helgenberger will gueststar in an extended Marg Helgenberger story arc, beginning with the premiere episode, as the town’s inhabitants figure out the Dome’s purpose and what it wants from them. ***

SENIOR NEWS LINE by Matilda Charles © King Features Synd., Inc.
A Woman’s Guide to Social Security KENT’S HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING
Sixty percent of people receiving Social Security are women, and the Social Security Administration has put together information that is specific to us. Here are a few things from its booklet, “What Every Woman Should Know”: Women who haven’t worked can be covered by a spouse’s benefits as early as age 62. Women who are divorced can claim benefits on their former spouse’s Social Security. File for both your own and his to see which will get the most money. If your divorced spouse is still working, you can claim your own benefits now and then see which are higher when he retires. Or you can claim his benefits now if he is retired and continue working, letting your own credits add up until you retire. (Beware: You’ll pay $1 for every $2 over the allowed maximum earned, which is $15,720 for 2015.) The number of years a woman has to have been married before divorce is 10 years. You must wait two years to claim his benefits. If you’re a widow, you can get benefits at age 60 or older as long as you don’t remarry before reaching that age. If you’re been abused and need to flee and hide, Social Security will issue you a new number as long as you have proof. Be absolutely certain that your name, Social Security number and earnings are correct on your W-2 form. When you receive your annual statement, check it carefully, especially the earnings. For more information, read and print out the 24-page booklet online at www.ssa.gov/pubs/ EN-05-10127.pdf to make sure you don’t miss any benefits, or see www.socialsecurity.gov/women. You also can call 1-800-772-1213. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

I am curious about the mark that is on the back of a porcelain plate that I have since the late 1950s. The plate is decorated with multi-colored pansies and green leaves. It is 9 inches in diameter and in mint condition. I would like to have some information on the manufacturer, its vintage and value.
Rocker Is Golden Q:
This oak rocker has been in our family for 80 to 90 years. It has scroll work across the top, has an imitation leather seat and is in excellent condition. Anything you can tell me about the background and value of my rocker will be greatly appreciated. Also, should I have it insured?

Golden Oak rocker is vintage 1900.
A:
You have a pressed back Golden Oak late Victorian rocker. The scroll work across the crest rail was pressed into the wood rather than hand carved. The furniture manufacturers used a new technology that was introduced in the late 1800s. A metal die was used to press embossed designs into wood. Pressed backs can be seen on rockers, side chairs and high chairs. The imitation leather seat, turned legs, back and side spindles, stretchers and pressed design are all typical of furniture that made around 1900. Pressed back furniture was widely popular from around 1890 to 1915.
