Circulation rose rapidly at first, then started lagging. The problem had nothing to do with its quality but that pennies were in short supply. Stone brought about the transfer of barrels of pennies to Chicago. To get them into circulation, he convinced merchants to sponsor "odd-price sales," during which they would sell their merchandise for a penny under the regular price. Soon people had pennies again, and Stone's paper flourished. The trend continues today with store items costing "$8.99" or "$12.99" instead of even dollar amounts. 2. Popcorn's name comes from the Middle English word "poppe" meaning "explosive sound". Before 1880, popping corn was often difficult and messy, losing much of the corn into the fire. Then several new devices were created for popping corn, and in 1907 the first electric popcorn popper appeared. Popcorn today is popped in many different ways; in skillets, air poppers, microwave ovens, pans, and even woks. 3.
