RE:"History Detectives” is a new PBS television show about the discovery,documentation and preservation of historic American buildings and
artifacts.

For over 50 years my mother has a jar that we use to hold popcorn kernals. It has a screw on lid... the top of the lid has the name 'Big Alpha Prodcut' New York, NY; George E Athans Company.
My mother does not remember what came in this jar, I have been trying to find information on this product.
Please forward any information available.

Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
