Connections IV - Solved! Buick's Porcelain Tub Tech ..... and his Cars!
« on: March 04, 2007, 08:04:50 AM »
OK, one looks like a bathtub, and the other is often seen in or around a bathtub. That's not the Connection I'm looking for.

What other connection can you derive from this pairing of pictures?

What was his most notable achievement in the bathroom fixture business?

Google Is Great!    :hail:

He made a tiny fortune after he invented a process for heat-binding porcelain to wrought iron to make white
bath tubs -- a much sought-after status symbol in those days.

you're on a roll

well, I have often been accused of being half baked and/or a big ham.  No matter how you slice it, I am a bit crusty and always in one kind of pickle or another. Lettuce see what the future holds for my store of knowledge.   ::)

To be fair, Hugo deserves all the credit. That boy is one hot chili pepper!    ;D

You are quite the fungi. After you were baked, they broke the mold. It's time to carb your punning ways - this thread has gone a rye.
