The American artist George C. Aid was born at Quincy, Illinois in 1872. From the St. Louis School of Fine Arts he went to Paris for study at the Julian Academy.

He lived in Europe, first in Paris, then in Bordighera, Italy, for a total of fifteen years. He was visiting in the US when WWI broke out; he never returned to Europe.

He settled in the artists community of Tryon, NC. He owned and operated a vineyard there for eight years, painting all the while.

In the 1930s Aid was invited to teach and work in Charlotte; over a two-year period prior to the onset of heart trouble, he made a major impact on the city's emerging art community.

Aid's art was exhibited in Boston, Chicago, and the Paris Salon. He took a silver medal at the 1904 St. Louis world's fair and a bronze medal at the 1915 San Francisco exposition. At the time of his death he was one of the most respected artists in North Carolina and the South.

Beautiful 'coffee table book' and a fabulous read!
By Jacqueline Brown Williams
Paris, France and Tryon, North Carolina wouldn't normally be mentioned in the same sentence, but George C. Aid did indeed run in both of these circles. Tryon (not to be confused with Tryon Palace)in Western North Carolina, was put on the map by William Gillette the New York Actor, and quintessential "Sherlock Holmes". George Aid bought a vineyard here, after living in Paris for a number of years. The pictures alone are worth the price of this beautiful book. The history and wonderfully worded text should be a must for every art historian's library.

Great value for awesome components
By JohnA
I bought these to replace the stock A-pillar tweeters in a Honda Element as the first step in a stereo upgrade. After installing them (a total cakewalk), I realized they made up all the difference that was lacking in the stock system. The imaging is superb now and it boosts the highs in a needed way from the front. Crystal clear and they handle the power with no distortion at max volume. Best upgrade available for my toaster. A very easy mounting system too. National deals is a great company to do business with. With a deal like this and prompt shipping, I'd be happy to buy from them again.

Fantastic sound and mounting options
By EngrPaul
Installed these on my 03 Honda Element to replace A-pillar tweeters that were starting to sound screechy.There are a couple options on how to mount these, I chose to do the flush mount.It was very easy to create a hole for the cup that holds the tweeter. The cup has a generous lip, so that your rough cut edge is hidden. Then the four-legged metal bracket installs from behind with one screw to lock the cup in place. The tweeter is pushed into the cup like an eyeball into a socket. Once installed, the "eyeball" tweeter can be aimed inside the cup, so that the tweeter can be aimed toward the listener to some extent.I used the stock crossover with no modification.The result: FANTASTIC! I cannot remember the stereo sounding better. I had to back off on the treble to "center" position, whereas before I had it near max from the day I bought the car in '03.Now music with tamborines, cymbals, or vocals sounds sparkling clear and as if it was live.I was so impressed with Polk Audio, I also splurged for db651s coaxial door speakers front and back. No changes to my head unit. Now the package is complete. The clarity is even better in the midrange.Even with the other speaker upgrades, these tweeters made the biggest difference to my system. They are more efficient and visually attractive than I could have imagined.UPDATE: I love the crisp yet not harsh sound of these tweeters so much, I went and got a set for my '02 Honda s2000. They fit perfectly in this car without any cutting.I just can't say enough about how these bring my car stereos to life.

Excellent Value
By C. Rutherford
I recently decided to upgrade the speaker system in my 2003 Infiniti G35 Sports Coupe. While the car comes with what is supposed to be Bose speakers, we have since found out that the components are not actually manufactured by Bose and while I am not picking on that issue, the coupe really needed some help in the audio department. Bass was bad, the mid-range cloudy and the tweeters - well if you tried real hard you could actually tell that some sort of sound was coming from them.The tweeter location in the G35 is the forward upper edge of the door panel, a perfect location for tweeters. Installation required a bit of engineering as I wanted to use the stock connections and mounting hardware, but if you are handy with tools it is a simple procedure. They are a perfect fit and once installed with the panels back on, you would never know they were changed out until you turned on the system. Wow, I can now actually hear the tweeters with tones that are rich and very distinct. I normally listen to a lot of satellite radio along with a personal CD collection and the change in the system is on par with quieter, more expensive vehicles. A G35 Sports Coupe is a very interesting combination of luxury and performance but there are trade-offs in each area. A quiet car it is not, so the audio system needs to be able to overcome that noise with something that is not just loud and harsh. The Polk Audio tweeters are a significant improvement in that area and I highly recommend them.

Fab outdoor beauty!
By MsDragoon1948
I purchased this rug directly from Home Decorators in green/ natural in a size large enough to sit under my covered patio dining table that seats six. I have had it almost 2 years and it has gone through two Tucson summers with searing sun from the West and monsoon rains pelting it. (I've seen that rain come in sideways due to the wind!) This rug still looks virtually new and has not faded an iota whereas my Sunbrella chair cushions are faded and discolored. This rug looks very classy and holds up incredibly well. Do yourself a favor and go for it!

bay rat
By 2happy
I love love this rug. When I was director of a group home we used this rug in the living room, and a complementary one in the hall. very durable. At an artist's studio recently I saw the same. very worn, but still full of dignity. And so when I needed a rug for the dining room of my beach house, I chose this. It looks great. And I am comforted that it is also so durable.
