Kinda related, but interesting just the same.

Happened on a PBS program "History Detectives" and they had a part on a Klan record, it peeked my interest so I watched it.
Seems the Klan actually had records, the type you played on a record player. A recording studio in Indianapolis Indiana produced them.
Funny the owners were Italian immigrants, someone the Klan didn't care for, yet did business with. And this same company was recording Louie Armstrong at the same time.

Anywho, doing a little surfing on the net for additional information, I stumbled on this. Another company that did nothing but Klan related items. Banners, carrying cases, and more robes they you could shake a stick at.

Funny a bunch of good old boys (which my family was part of) actually had a catalog they could order their stuff from...

Pepsi contains too-high level of cancer-causing ingredient, group says - NY Daily News

I would rather purchase my old Pepsi product with a Freaking Cancer warning on it than this new garbage without a cancer label...But that is just me... Sooner or later these stupid holier than thou scientists are going to start saying that Good old Freaking S*X causes cancer...Mark my words...

In the early 1960's,my mother would take me to the downtown Ocala Belk-Lindseys when she looked for clothes patterns.They had several large catalogs you could order from,and bored out of my mind,I would thumd through some of them-and yes,you could order patterns for these clothes.
It must be noted on this thread,that the resistance movement started by Nathan Bedford Forest in the late 1860's against the atrocities of Reconstruction in the south,was not the same and did not serve the same purpose after that period in history.

Yes, patterns in quilts WERE utilized as "codes" for blacks during the "resistance"; NEVER heard of KKK use, tho.
