...wood-panel oil heated or dried too quickly, the paint surface might crack. To protect against this, the suitcase was turned into what Feidler calls "a traveling thermos bottle"; the painting was wrapped in sheets of polyethylene and sealed airtight to keep it fresh, much like a sandwich in Saran wrap. Tests had shown that the suitcase temperature would rise at most 1¼° per hour...
Loud Whistle. The semiannual catalogue, as fascinating for prose as for merchandise touted, contained more than 400 items ranging from Bean's Improved Sandwich Spreader to a collapsible bait bucket. Many of the goods Bean designed himself; most he personally tested on the trails. In a spare, hardsell style that would be instructive to many an advertising copywriter, the catalogue once plugged a Combination Compass, Match Case and Whistle by noting that "the Whistle is loud enough to be heard a long distance."

He found to his dismay that the sandwich bags were too small to pull over a person's head, but he still had his knives and his pistol. So Smith ordered his victims to lie down in a circle like spokes in a wheel-their heads at the center, their feet on the perimeter...
