- Ben Franklin Stove Or Traditional Fireplace?
By: Art Gib | - Even though I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, my family still enjoyed the comfort and warmth of a cheerful fireplace--or, what I thought was a fireplace.

- We Shall All Hang Together Or Surely We Shall All Hang
By: Dean Cipriano | - Now I know you have all heard that saying before. That was one of many great quotes from one American that I admire greatly, Benjamin Franklin.

On this September day, the first meeting of the First Continental Congress was held in Philadelphia.
Remember this date because it is more important than July 4, 1776. If this meeting had not occurred, there could not have ...

By: Ben Welch | - Benjamin Franklin once quipped that there are two certainties in life - death and taxes. But as every college student knows, life also has a third certainty - rising tuition.

Eventually the idea blossomed into a genuine business, usually in a small office in the back of a home and eventually into a separate building in the heart of a business district. The s ...
