<VV> Subject: Re: Steering Wheel re-paint advice

[John Bailey]

"Paulsbo" is actually spelled "Poulsbo" according to the city web site. 
Poulsbo was settled by Scandinavians in the 1880s, Jorgen Eliason being 
credited as the founder. Iver B. Moe and family arrived about a month later. 
Eventually it was Moe who decided the town needed a post office and applied 
for "Paulsbo". This is a lesson in the lost art of handwriting. The post 
master misread his application, and "Paulsbo" has been Poulsbo ever since.

The Sunbeam Talbot Auto Register mentions Backwards Unlimited as follows:
