* Of course there is a case of vintage bandage tins, as Daniel once explained on his blog: “It was the mid-1980s when I realized that the ubiquitous bandage tins I saw everywhere would soon disappear. There was a distinct trend away from metal in all things packaging. The bandage tin, however, is a beautifully designed container. Homage has been paid in the retro Accoutrements tins filled with bacon- and pickle-shaped bandages. And yes, I have a few of these. I love place and I love retail. When you think of cities, you might think of baseball teams or landmark buildings. I think of old retailers. I saw the regional food and drug chains consolidating at a rapid pace, and I panicked… and started collecting. The march against the bandage tin reminds me of what the soothsayers pronounce now for the book. And the examples I have remind me of the somewhat lost vibrancy of regional retailing. All of which explains a bit why I chose to open an independent bookstore in Milwaukee.…”
