3rd Anniversary Issue

Reprinted from "INSULATORS - Crown Jewels of the Wire", March 1972, page 2

A toast to our faithful subscribers and all insulator people for the wonderful letters and help given to Crown Jewels In the successful year just completed! Our sincere appreciation and thanks. May we continue to serve and help you in the coming year with your hobby of collecting insulators.

To the best hobby (insulators) and the nicest people in the whole world (insulator collectors), may all your Insulator hopes and dreams come true In 1721

Time and space permit no more this issue, but will try for next issue.

Here it is--the long awaited 1972 Directory of Subscribers! Hopefully, we have the names spelled right, the addresses correct, and have left out only those who wished to be omitted.

Please use this directory honorably and with integrity. To avoid disappointment, always try to phone or write before visiting other collectors. Good luck  and good trading!

You will notice that we have listed our Australian subscriber first; followed by those from Canada, arranged alphabetically by provinces and cities; then the United States subscribers by states and cities; with the shops carrying Crown Jewels and a late renewal at the end. An asterisk (*) before a number means that address Is not In alphabetical order by city, but did arrive In time to be included at the end of the listing for that state.

We hope you like the Index and that it will simplify locating an address, even though you may have forgotten the exact city or state. For uniformity and ease of preparation we have used the following 2-letter State abbreviations that have been authorized by the U. S. Post Office Department for use in conjunction with Zip Codes:
