ABOUT ME<br />
Hi! My name is Jen and this is a little bit about myself. First, I must say this project was a lot of fun.<br />
Like a book from my gradeschool years lol. I don’t know if children today still do book reports, but when<br />
I was <strong>in</strong> school, <strong>the</strong>y were required and boy did I dread read<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> assigned books <strong>the</strong>n hav<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
summarize <strong>the</strong>m! I loved read<strong>in</strong>g books that <strong>in</strong>terested me and hopefully this will <strong>in</strong>terest you. I created<br />
it for anyone that needs help with identification. For <strong>the</strong> novice glass collectors that buy animal covered<br />
dishes because <strong>the</strong>y fall <strong>in</strong> love with <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong>y look or <strong>the</strong> type of animals <strong>the</strong>y are, or simply for<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir colors. For <strong>the</strong> avid collectors who enjoy buy<strong>in</strong>g a few of each animal regardless of <strong>the</strong> maker. For<br />
<strong>the</strong> veteran collectors who may have hundreds of glass dishes who never cease to amaze me with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
beautiful collections. For <strong>the</strong> people that have <strong>in</strong>herited or purchased someone’s entire collection or<br />
part of a collection and need help to identify th<strong>in</strong>gs. For <strong>the</strong> people like me that are meticulous about<br />
every detail need<strong>in</strong>g to label th<strong>in</strong>gs and just absolutely need to know <strong>the</strong> whats, whens, whos, hows and<br />
whys of <strong>the</strong> animal dishes <strong>the</strong>y own. For me, what started with one Asian yellow sta<strong>in</strong>ed glass bunny on<br />
a nest, has flourished <strong>in</strong>to a full blown collection of hundreds of mixed and matched animal covered<br />
“candy” dishes of all glass types and colors. No particular glass maker, just everyth<strong>in</strong>g I can’t live<br />
without. LOL. Anyone that knows me would tell you that I stop at noth<strong>in</strong>g, study<strong>in</strong>g book after book<br />
search<strong>in</strong>g for answers about my own glass animals until I f<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong>m. I have never been satisfied with a<br />
mystery….unless it <strong>in</strong>volves me watch<strong>in</strong>g Columbo, my lifelong favorite television program! I am a<br />
mystery solver... a true detective. I get this from my Mo<strong>the</strong>r, C<strong>in</strong>dy -Sultana- Wheatley. I need to get to<br />
<strong>the</strong> bottom of a piece of unidentified glass. It drives me bananas not to know everyth<strong>in</strong>g I can about<br />
each piece that I own. Next, I will tell you that <strong>the</strong> monetary value of my glassware means noth<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
me. I collect it because I love it. However, unique and rare is always a f<strong>in</strong>d! Sure, like every collector, I<br />
love a barga<strong>in</strong> and have had to pass up many pieces that I could not afford. Ooooh <strong>the</strong> ones that got<br />
away. They haunt me. I can assure you that when I get a new addition to my collection, it has found its<br />
forever home. Someone before me and usually possibly before <strong>the</strong>m owned <strong>the</strong>se animal covered<br />
dishes mak<strong>in</strong>g a k<strong>in</strong>d of history that I can only imag<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> my m<strong>in</strong>d, its importance to each person. There<br />
is a reason beh<strong>in</strong>d every s<strong>in</strong>gle glassware <strong>in</strong> every s<strong>in</strong>gle dwell<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>Glass</strong> symbolizes many th<strong>in</strong>gs. It is<br />
proudly displayed. It is important to <strong>the</strong> person who owns it. I enjoy see<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> happ<strong>in</strong>ess glassware<br />
br<strong>in</strong>gs to people, especially <strong>the</strong>se animal covered dishes. Who doesn’t love animals? I also enjoy see<strong>in</strong>g<br />
my collection know<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>se pieces of history live on and hope that when I am long gone, <strong>the</strong>y will be <strong>in</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r homes. My glass br<strong>in</strong>gs me peace; most peaceful <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> even<strong>in</strong>gs when <strong>the</strong> cab<strong>in</strong>et lights are on<br />
and <strong>the</strong> glass does its natural th<strong>in</strong>g; what it was <strong>in</strong>tended to do s<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> day it was made...look pretty!<br />
To me, it is rem<strong>in</strong>iscent of hav<strong>in</strong>g a year round Christmas Tree. <strong>Glass</strong> is AMAZING! I am a country girl<br />
through and through. I love all th<strong>in</strong>gs nature. I am an avid bird watcher and an all around animal lover. I<br />
live <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> beautiful state of Kentucky with my husband and our two dogs, Monkey and Johnnie, who by<br />
<strong>the</strong> way, is named after my all time favorite s<strong>in</strong>ger, Johnny Cash.

Though a Republican-controlled<br />
congress would later raise tariff rates,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Revenue Act of 1913 marked an<br />
important shift <strong>in</strong> federal revenue<br />
policy, as government revenue would<br />
<strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly rely on <strong>in</strong>come taxes<br />
ra<strong>the</strong>r than tariff duties. While most<br />
Democrats were united beh<strong>in</strong>d a<br />
decrease <strong>in</strong> tariff rates, most<br />
Republicans held that high tariff rates<br />
were useful for protect<strong>in</strong>g domestic<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g and factory workers<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st foreign competition.<br />
