ADS T-Shirts

[Dennis R. Preston]

ONLY A FEW LEFT!

Yes, now by mail-order, those who did not attend the last two ADS Winter
Meetings can have their very own "Pioneer Seres" ADS t-shirts. These
beautiful, all-cotton collector's items feature, on the front of the shirt

1) Charles Hall Grandgent, the founder of the Society

or

2) Louise Pound, the founder of American Speech

Both shirts have Don Lance's (lexical) map of US dialects (well, the
eastern half of the country at any rate) on the back of the shirt, and each
is accompanied by a handout (what else from a linguist!) which provides a
brief biographical statement about the "pioneer" honored on the front of
the shirt and full bibliographical documentation to the dialect map on the
back.

The background color for both shirts is something one might call ecru
(although they are different ecrus; only is probably actually "sand" and
the other maybe "mottled beige").

There are only 30 of these shirts left (12 Grandgent, 18 Pound)! First
come, first served.

Here's how to get one:

Of course, except for packaging and postage fees, it goes without saying
that the profit from this undertaking goes into the coffers of the Society.

Avoid disapointment! Act today! Leave a legacy for your offspring!

(Although very likely to increase in value, the ADS does not guarantee that
any future price for either of these items will actually outstrip the
amount invested.)
