WELCOME TO THE
SUBTLY-ASKEW
  MUSEUM
    Established 1872
 OUR FOUNDER:
   DR. V. S. SUBTLY-ASKEW, H.M.,T.E.

"Dr." Subtly-Askew (b. 1842) made his fortune in the hard-edged world of manufacturing, and remains world-famous even today as the "Hasp King" of Cobbledecook, New York.  Self-educated, highly demonstrative, humble, remarkable in every way, gifted with nearly supernatural quantities of kindliness, benevolence, and trust, survivor of at least two industrial and one post-industrial revolutions, he is the oldest and perhaps the least sceptical human being who has ever lived on the face of the earth.  During the course of his long career as a voracious collector and accumulator of precious objects, he has given those who venerate him ample cause for thanks, and in 1926, as a token of their undying esteem, his grateful purchasing agents and employees presented him with the title ("Doctor") which still appears on the letterhead of his well-known mobile stationary.
