Hemp Shop News

Hemps shops are key to the hemp movement. Months ago we welcomed the new arrival, Houdek House, located at 201 W. College Avenue in Appleton, Wisconsin - and they are doing a brisk trade. This week Mina Hegaard of Minawear will be on hand personally to meet customers - her father was born in Appleton, and a sister still lives there.

 

And last month one of the longest serving hemp establishments in the hemp world changed their location - Still Eagle of Nelson, British Columbia. See notice below:

 

PLEASE NOTE: we have moved around the corner to a brighter, better, bigger, and more central location on Nelson's Baker Street.

Till June 30 visit our Final Clearance Sale at the old Ward St location.

Our new address:

Still Eagle

476 Baker st

Nelson BC

V1L 4H8

Phone, email and web are the same:

HEMP ON THE HMS VICTORY

A story in the Voice of Freedom (Issue 92, p.7) reports that the University of Southampton is set to close their Textile Conservation Centre, which stores the sails from Nelson's Victory. As any reader of this blog would know, they are made of hemp. 200,000 lbs. of hemp was on every man-o'-war in the 19th century. The UK went to great lengths to obtain it, including fighting a war, and making a pre-emptive strike to maintain a supply.

A petition to keep the centre open can be found at: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/TCCClosure
