History

a vertical rail with year, title and paragraph per milestone: a story with a few chapters to read in order; the merchant’s own only.

one line per year in a boxed table: eight to twelve short milestones; the merchant’s own only.

large year numerals in a column, title and text beside them: two to six milestones that deserve weight; the merchant’s own only.

one rule across the page with a dot per milestone, the year above and the words under it, scrolling sideways past eight; a vertical rail on a phone: four to eight short milestones that read best as one line; the merchant’s own only.
