Greetings from “The Pop Edition” of The Album!

Pop culture reminiscences for me include fond memories of my Mom’s Jello “polk” cakes, Gram B’s Shake ’n Bake chicken, my banana seat bike, my Cabbage Patch Kid (Elisabeth Angelica-I may still

have her adoption papers for verification), MTV, acid wash jeans, Madonna, and Aquanet. . .fun times.

In keeping with the theme of this issue, I’m delighted to share this postcard. I love the large-letter typographic “Greetings from…” postcard folios, the Curt Teich & Co. used to share their vision of the best the country had to offer. Founded in 1898 in Chicago, their printing presses ran for 80 years and produced over 365,000 postcards of major tourist sites and roadside attractions throughout the United States.

The vibrant 1950s-era “Greetings from Buffalo” folio cascades open to reveal a blue sky vision of city captured in 18 “C.T. ART-COLORTONE” prints. From the Buffalo Civic Stadium to the Memorial Auditorium, to Central Terminal and City Hall, sources of local pride are showcased. Published by “Howard La Grou, 1 East Swan Street” (cursory search of 1948-50 city directories did not yield a listing for Howard La Grou), the folio interior is tightly packed with stats facts on Buffalo, including:

• “600,000 inhabitants, is second largest city in New York State”

• “a city of substantial power and comfortable ways”

• “Per capita expenditure in Buffalo is $705 and $2671 per family, or $140 more per person that the national average of $565.”

• “More than 70 percent of the net income of the United States is embraced by the city’s market territory. Seventy percent of the country’s merchandise and 70 percent of its automobiles are sold within that territory.”

• “There are twelve freight terminals at which approximately 45,000 trains enter annually and five passenger terminals, with over 50,000 trains entering annually.”

That was a lot to POP about!

As part of our M&T THIRD Friday programs, The Buffalo History Museum will welcome popular culture extraordinaire, Charles Phoenix to Buffalo. I first discovered him as a guest on The Conan O’Brien Show and now follow him on Facebook. From his fresh take on family slides to his “test kitchen” of classic recipe reinvention- Friday, November 15th is a night not to be missed.

Now. . .

Grab a frosty Yoo Hoo.Make your way outdoors.Shake your shades to the end of your nose and enjoy “The POP Edition” while the sun is still shining.

All my best,

Melissa

Rebecca JustingerRegistrar

The Gurley Novelty Company of Buffalo, NY started as the W & F Manufacturing Company. Created in 1927 by Franklin Gurley, the W & F Manufacturing Company was a confectionery company that produced all kinds of candies, chocolates, and wax novelties. In 1939, Mr. Gurley was approached by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, now known as ExxonMobil, to create a line of decorative novelty candles to help use up the excess paraffin wax that is created as a by-product from refining oil. The candles were made in Mr. Gurley’s manufacturing plant in Buffalo and sold under the name Tavern Novelty Candles. It was not until 1949 that the company was renamed The Gurley Novelty Company. The new line of wax decorations was quite successful, and by the late 1940s, a vast majority of Gurley’s profits were a result of his novelty candles.

The Buffalo History Museum has several holiday Gurley candles in our collection. They are in excellent condition because they were never lit. These pop culture pieces from the 1950s and 1960s were rarely purchased as practical candles. Instead, consumers saved them and used them to decorate their homes during the holidays. As a result, Gurley Novelty candles are popular collectibles as so many remain intact. The most sought after are the Halloween and Christmas themed pieces, while Thanksgiving turkeys and pink Easter rabbits also remain popular with collectors.

Anthony GrecoDirector of Exhibits and Interpretive Planning

September 12 will be an evening to fall in love with The Buffalo History Museum once more. Together, we will celebrate the openings of four new exhibits and mark a significant step into the Museum’s future. In the short time since our rebranding and name change, our staff has worked tirelessly to improve our programs, product, and our visitor experience. This will be a night to showcase our marked progress.

As our guests first enter our grand State Court, they will note our first new exhibit, “Star Spangled Nation.” Produced by the American Society of Marine Artists, this gallery show features a series of paintings depicting the War of 1812 done by contemporary artists. The Buffalo History Museum will be the opening venue for this remarkable traveling exhibit before it tours the country.

Our next featured exhibit is titled,”Lost & Found.” Developed by Buffalo State College’s Museum Studies Graduate Program, this exhibit investigates the controversial topic of preservation in and around Buffalo. Inside, guests will discover some of the area’s most endangered architectural treasures and the efforts undertaken to save them. This exhibit is the first of many to come from Buffalo State graduate students. Moving forward, the graduate program will create semiannual exhibits developed throughout each semester that will enliven our newly christened Buffalo State Museum Studies Gallery.

September 12 will also celebrate the opening of The John R. Oishei Native American Gallery. This permanent installation traces our regional history through its first inhabitants, and focuses on the formation and evolution of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Highlights of the exhibit include a walk-in longhouse, a captivating

gustoweh (headdress - in picture) display, and Seneca Orator Red Jacket’s cherished peace medal.

Finally, to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, the Museum will premier “By Fire & Sword: War in the Niagara Theatre.” This exhibit will focus on the Niagara Frontier’s role in one of our nation’s most formative military engagements. This exhibit is the Museum’s most modern and interactive to date. Inside, Google Nexus tablets will use military re-enactments and green screen technology to guide guests through the nearly two and a half year campaign. Historical narrators featured include Laura Secord,

Cyrenius Chapin, General McClure, and more. The technology driving By Fire & Sword is a collaborative effort between The Buffalo History Museum and Canisius College and is funded by the Perry Memorial Fund.

I wish that I had the ability to see the Museum again for the first time. So much has changed. September 12 is about impact and optimism. We hope to see you here. We know you’ll love what you see.

Loey RotchfordFront Desk Receptionist

Dan Murphy explains in Nickel City Drafts: A Drinking History of Buffalo, NY, that the drinking culture has been an important part of Buffalo’s history since the time it was settled and when “a pint” meant, unquestionably, “a glass of beer.” Murphy is a Buffalo native who practically grew up in bars in the 1980s. It was hearing the stories of Oliver Street in North Tonawanda, the “wickedest street in the world” - a district that ran fast and hard with ill repute along the canal - that would brew interest in the young man’s mind about the exalted drink. In his book, Murphy follows the stream of alcohol through time, from the founding of the city and its connection to a beer drinking people, to the present and the reemerging brewing culture.

Murphy manages to pack a great deal of information in the one hundred and seventy page book. I was deeply intrigued imagining the booming and diverse brewing industry in Buffalo prior to prohibition. The sheer volume of beer produced in its heyday was staggering, over thirty million gallons a year. The determination of Buffalo to have its booze was fierce with an anti-prohibition mayor elected twice into office.

Nickel City Drafts is a good read with lots of historic gems. Like Buffalo itself, drinking history has gone through ups and downs, but the people have remained steadfast in their commitment to beer and bars. Dan Murphy pens a fascinating read that will capture the imagination of anyone who reads it; maybe over the next pint.

Where every medium leads to a great celebration

Now in its 15th year, Paint the Town offers a festive celebration of local artists and artisans; items from handcrafted jewelry and flame-worked glass to oil paintings and stunning photography of the region, which will be offered to supporters via both live and silent auctions.

We rely on the generosity of Western New York’s diverse and talented community of artists to make the event a success. Paint the Town provides artists an opportunity to shine in a different light, and also allows supporters of The Buffalo History Museum exposure to the fine work that is produced right here in Western New York.

Each participating artist receives one complimentary ticket to the event, and has the option to purchase an additional ticket at the reduced price of $35. Artists may opt to keep 40 percent of the price realized for their work and donate 60 percent to The Buffalo History Museum; or choose to give the full amount. We are appreciative of your generosity regardless.

“The art auctions that worthy institutions put on--like the History Museum’s Paint the Town-- seem to have an almost magical draw for the public, says Richard Huntington, artist and former Buffalo News Art & Theatre Critic. People get all geared up, even a little giddy as they spot some new tantalizing artwork. Consequently they open up their pocketbooks. It’s a special version of the competitive spirit that drives all this energy. But at the heart of it all of course is the artists--the generous, public-spirited artists--who create a string of wide-ranging visual surprises that make every Paint the Town feel more like Paint the World.”

All proceeds from Paint the Town benefit the mission of The Buffalo History Museum. To contribute artwork, purchase tickets, or to become an event sponsor, please contact Alexis Greinert at (716) 873-9644 ext. 318; or at [email protected].
