THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!
Still a family-owned business, Moore Push-Pins was established in 1900 by Edwin Moore with $112.60. Like many inventors and entrepreneurs he worked day and night building his business based on pins. Why pins? I do not know, but Mr. Moore is credited with inventing push-pins as well as map tacks. We all know paper maps are steadily being replaced by digital maps and with their departure, map tacks are also heading the way of the robin. However, being a big believer in using things for anything but their "proper" use, I find these tacks really handy for prioritizing things around the house. At the start of every week each task gets a number. Hair needs cutting, number the scissors, change the shower curtain, number it, take out the compost, number it. Very handy and practical indeed. I am sure you will find some interesting things to number, or just use them like push-pins after all! Comes with numbers 1 - 25, you can only take on 25 tasks a week at most!
