   I love the banner, and it doesn’t feel at all Communist to me, retro comrades!

   Kathy, I think we tend to think locally with history when actually the world was going thru approximately the same trends such as Art Deco and Modernism. And everyone freely borrows or copies whatever catches their imagination.
   I saw alot of stuff starting from the 1920’s/1930’s and beyond with these symbols: church/synagogue, business logos, govt ephemera, military,civic, etc. It seems to gather and then dissipate until enough time goes by and it’s “new” again.

   Oh my goodness! I did not by any means intend to suggest that either Pam or Geneva were in any way Communist!

   I was actually hypothesizing more along the lines Carolyn suggests: Geneva designs a stylish, contemporary banner. Then McCarthyism rears its head and Geneva’s design may be misinterpreted, so Geneva moves on to another style.

   Steel cabinets are not my thing. I don’t know when Geneva began using red and gold. I don’t even know when Geneva was founded! Russian history *is* my thing, so I was simply struck by the resemblance and wondered whether Geneva may have encountered any resistance to that design.

   I’m looking for the plastic bags piece that catches the pins to hold the door closed
