Many of the rediscovered brands are from their original small-town manufacturers. Mallo Cups, for example, are still made by Boyer Candy in Altoona, Pa., and Chick-o-Sticks are in their 52nd year of production by Atkinson Candy in Lufkin, Texas. Some brands, like Fizzies, have changed their recipes, while other candies, like Jujubes and Sugar Daddys, contain the same ingredients that first enthralled the taste buds of the youngsters who grew up watching Howdy Doody and The Lone Ranger...

He does not fuss about which collar style may be appropriate to a man's face (most, he suggests, are good for all). He provides some lustrous little essays on royal dandies, polyester, loafers and the making of Harris Tweed, which is still turned out by hand, in the Outer Hebrides. The weavers have resisted most new technology, he reports, although they have given up their time-honored method of preparing the yarn for dyeing. Chemicals have...
