Flivvering

We recently found this gem hiding in the stacks, on the back of a 1923 state highway system map of North Carolina:

We had to look up the meaning of “flivvering”, and some of the rhyming is a bit strained, but overall this is a wonderful view into what life was like in the 1920’s, when motoring was new and people were out exploring their country.

Isn’t it nice to know that “Ol’ No’th Ca’lina” was such a great place to visit?
