Separately they were formidable--together they were unstoppable. Despite their intriguing lives and the deep impact they had on their community and region, the story of Richard Joshua Reynolds (1850-1918) and Katharine Smith Reynolds (1880-1924) has never been fully told. Now Michele Gillespie provides a sweeping account of how R. J. and Katharine succeeded in realizing their American dreams.
From relatively modest beginnings, R. J. launched the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which would eventually develop two hugely profitable products, Prince Albert pipe tobacco and Camel cigarettes. His marriage in 1905 to Katharine Smith, a dynamic woman thirty years his junior, marked the beginning of a unique partnership that went well beyond the family. As a couple, the Reynoldses conducted a far-ranging social life and, under Katharine's direction, built Reynolda House, a breathtaking estate and model farm. Providing leadership to a series of progressive reform movements and business innovations, they helped drive one of the South's best examples of rapid urbanization and changing race relations in the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Together they became one of the New South's most influential elite couples. Upon R. J.'s death, Katharine reinvented herself, marrying a World War I veteran many years her junior and engaging in a significant new set of philanthropic pursuits. Katharine and R. J. Reynolds reveals the broad economic, social, cultural, and political changes that were the backdrop to the Reynoldses' lives. Portraying a New South shaped by tensions between rural poverty and industrial transformation, white working-class inferiority and deeply entrenched racism, and the solidification of a one-party political system, Gillespie offers a masterful life-and-times biography of these important North Carolinians.Binding Type: Paperback

Good Long Lasting Filters
Style: Standard, Size: 4 Count
I've been using Brita pitchers for years and these replacement filters continue to be one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve the taste of regular tap water without installing a full filtration system. The biggest improvement is definitely the taste. After installing a fresh filter, the water tastes noticeably cleaner and smoother, getting rid of that strong chlorine smell or metallic aftertaste. These standard filters reduce chlorine taste and odor along with impurities like copper, cadmium, and mercury using activated carbon and ion-exchange resin technology. They're also BPA-free and designed to last up to 40 gallons or about two months per filter.
The installation is simple and quick compared to older filter designs. I liked that these no longer require lengthy presoaking and the pull-top cap makes removal easier when it's time to swap filters. The 4 pack is also convenient because it lasts several months for an average household, making it more economical than constantly buying bottled water. My only complaint is that sometimes the water will run through very quickly and other times not so much which makes it harder to discern whether the filter is working effectively. Aside from tha, it seems like a simple and affordable everyday water filter.

Water Comes Out Clean and Tastes Good!
Style: Standard, Size: 2 Count
I had a Brita filter while I was in college, and so naturally, I needed to buy the water filter replacements on occasion. These are the original ones from Brita, and they work as well as you would expect! They purify the water you pour into the pitcher, and it tastes good (at least in my opinion)! They feel pretty well made, and I haven't had any issues where the water has come out tasting gross or it getting clogged. It works well, and fits nicely into my pitcher. I've heard others face issues with third-party water filters, so it feels nice to buy the original ones and for them to work without issue.

Very good quality Nitrile gloves useful for sanitary and even mild work around the house protection
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
I've been using these gloves for years and have been very pleased with them. They fit very well, are thick enough to provide adequate protection, but thin enough to provide a good feel and ability to do tasks requiring finger dexterity. They are a blueish purple and come in sizes to fit most any hand. They do not have talc, so if you have sweaty hands, these are liable to be an issue if worn for extended periods. I use them as a caretaker for personal hygiene activities, bed baths, etc. They have never ripped and in some cases, I 've reused them with no issues. The are definitely good value for money.
