Hints for searching:
      Try spelling out business names.  NCR, for instance, was usually referred to as National Cash Register. 
      Those looking for the VA Center, also known as the Soldiers' Home, should also try National Military Home, or National Home, or Disabled Volunteer or just Military Home.  Be sure to try Soldiers' Home with and without the apostrophe after the s in Soldiers.  This is especially helpful if you also try the "Find All words" and "Find Exact phrase" options in the search window. The search engine sometimes does not work as well as you would hope.  If you put in Soldiers' Home for instance, it will sometimes bring up every reference for Home on the site.  This is because any apostrophe after a word makes the search engine think you are looking for the words separately, in this case both Soldiers' and Home. This can be frustrating, and will only grow worse as the site becomes larger.  But, if you are patient and try other combinations of words, sometimes the rewards are worth the hassle.  If you do not find what you are searching for, please do come back, as we do add more to the site every week.
