Barry Popik sends 1890's information on "Hot Dog"

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Barry Popik sent the message below to several ads-l members, and I now forward it to the entire list.  Barry has done extensive research on "hot dog," and in 2004 he, the late David Shulman and I authored a book on the term.

When I have time, I'll look closely at the new information to help determine its significance.

> December 1894, <i>Yale Literary Magazine</i>, pg. 155:
> The morning summons of the alarm clock is the voice of an angel of wrath proclaiming the dawning of a perennial day of judgment, and the sleepy proprietors of the "Quick and Dirty" and the "Hot Dog on Wheels" grow to know our nightly visits so well that they call us by our first names; and the State street canine digs up all his buried bones and retires into forests about Lake Whitney until the raw material for domestic frankfurters returns ot its par value.
