The Days of Yore in Brady Sentinel Memories
The Passing Parade recalls old Brady Sentinel issues from September 22, 1892, preserved by the Rice sisters and Jim Rice of Melvin. Advertisers like A. E. Ballou appear, with items such as washboards, suspenders, windsor ties, overalls, knitting needles, hairpins, and corsets. A bold headline proclaims The Almighty Dollar and rising inequality. Also noted is Frank Vogel, brother of Sheriff Luke Vogel, a San Angelo blacksmith featured in last Sunday’s Standard-Times with four photos.
