Local storefronts and trades in a frontier town
A broad collage of notices and anecdotes from a mid nineteenth century issue describes merchants in a frontier city, including general dealers, druggists, hardware and jewelry shops, and even a cabinetmaker. It mixes trades with cultural notes on fashion, theater, and a dramatic speech excerpt on government power and constitutional limits.
