Dixon City Visitors and Local Commerce Notes
Rae Chadwick visited Dixon Friday while Mrs. J D Cluts and John Schade also spent time in Dixon or Chicago. The town's shops advertise fresh batteries, Incubators, and a sale on men’s work shirts at 40 cents. Many residents journeyed to Rochelle, DeKalb, Amboy, and Chicago for visits, business, and social events.
