Footnotes1 Binder: it is not clear whether this refers to a binder (of flowers or brooms, or a barrel-maker), or simply a family name. 2 geflitet: applied with Flit, the brand name of insecticide widely used against flies and mosquitoes between 1928 and the mid-1950s. The original product, invented by chemist Franklin C. Nelson and launched in 1923, was mineral oil based and manufactured by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. A hand-operated device called a Flit gun was commonly used to perform the spraying (Wikipedia). |
