Alpine reminiscences and pre payment offers emerge
A collage of 1940s Alpine notices and memories recounts investment pitches for first mortgage notes with six percent safety, local trade ads for lumber and bur lap feed sacks, a used aluminum trailer and tool sharpening services, plus a long reminiscence by Mrs Weyerts about Alpine pioneers. The narrative recalls Ranger Canyon lore, a brick kiln south of Alpine, and tales of Geronimo and frontier life in the old West.
