THE ET CETERA CHRONICLES - NOT READY FOR GOODWILL YET

NOT READY FOR GOODWILL YET - J.P. Ellington took good care of his clothes.  He was most proud of an old pair of pants.  The pants, by newspaper accounts, were 215 years old.  They were the first pants  Mr. Ellington's grandfather had owned.  The grandfather had many sons and each took turns wearing the pants.  Mr. Ellington still wore them occasionally along with a 36 year old pair of knitted socks, which he acquired in 1901.
