A fragment from a 1916 publication notes trends in leisure and pets. It mentions bathing culture and individuality, and humorously observes fashionable girls shifting affection from monkeys and dogs to exotic pets like pet fish and sardines in velvet-lined cans.
The Chicago and Portland markets closed lower with wheat leading the decline due to large crop estimates and weak export demand. Prices fell across corn and oats, with hogs and provisions also softening amid reduced inquiry from Europe and ample country offerings. In livestock, hogs and cattle showed softening demand while wool markets in Boston held strength and the Seattle beer permits were halved for dray stores.
Say You Saw It in the Standard lists job seekers and openings at multiple locations. Square Employment Office at 621 Utah Ave Butte offers help and work, Parson's Female Employment at 148 W Granite seeks female workers, Boulder Hot Springs posts two experienced waitress openings, and a man and wife seek a cook and waitress for an Anaconda address.
Classified notices list employment openings in multiple towns across Montana including cooks cleaners tailors and coatmakers. Also advertised are rooms for rent stores for rent and business spaces with contact notes for Butte Anaconda Bozeman and Helena. Also mentions a Portland Oregon residence exchange and a drugless spa for women.
A mixed set of local advertisements from the Standard includes paper cleaning and room cleaning services in Butte and Anaconda, with listings for sale of two five passenger cars, a Rhode Island Reds poultry sale, and various vehicles from Ford and other dealers. Also notes an assay office in Helena and chemist services, plus a fire-related reward in Butte.
