Description

Leon and the ColonelAt a time where most young men went West to places such as California or Montana to reinvent themselves, Joseph Andrew Robertson and Leon Noel Stuart went south to Mexico. Separately the two men left Missouri about 1885, but found common cause in a place where Robertson became "the Colonel" general manager of the fledgling Monterey and Mexican Gulf Railroad, and Stuart created the first orchards of grafted orange trees in nearby Montemorelos,

At a time where most young men went West to places such as California or Montana to reinvent themselves, Joseph Andrew Robertson and Leon Noel Stuart went south to Mexico. Separately the two men left Missouri about 1885, but found common cause in a place where Robertson became "the Colonel" - general manager of the fledgling Monterey and Mexican Gulf Railroad, and Stuart created the first orchards of grafted orange trees in nearby Montemorelos, effectively founding an industry. The Colonel constructed enterprise after enterprise including the famed red brick factory, the Monterrey News, a small foundry, and convinced the Guggenheims to build a smelter in Monterrey. The Colonel also contributed materially to the city by paving streets, arranging for integrated water and sewer systems, and bringing baseball to northern Mexico. Stuart created and managed nearby citrus properties which included large nurseries so that grafted trees could be created locally instead of coming from the United States.

Classic and useful.
Color: Black
I purchased to gift my son for his apartment. It is both attractive and useful. The weighted base makes it functional and balanced, and all for a very minimal price.

Budget friendly and useful!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Light weight affordable and still nice. Could be a little bit heavier at the base, I really like it so far. Seems pretty sturdy, definitely will need to check in to see the longevity of the product. Overall good budget buy.

Use for canning rings
Color: Black
I bought this to hold my canning rings and it worked great. The smaller arm holds my wide mouth rings and the larger one holds the regular ones. When I’m canning, I’m able to move the whole thing into the kitchen due to its light weight and use what I need. Once I’m done with the rings, back they go.
