Local business men Pearson and Peterson are highlighted for their services. Pearson runs a longtime plumbing and tin shop with an eight foot sheet metal brake and a promise of quality, urging customers to see him before warm weather. Peterson leads in grain and cotton trade, driving Clifton’s market with top prices and fair treatment.
Readers are invited to note W K Golden’s up to date blacksmith shop with gasoline power and skilled workmanship. J K Proffitt is highlighted as a pioneer real estate figure with long local ties. White Swan Bakery receives praise as the best bakery in the region, with shop open for inspection. Wm Bertrand is noted for reliability in repairs and thorough pre delivery inspection. The Hilliard and Pool Hall in Lake Fricke earns commendations for quality tables and courteous service.
A compendium of community items includes visits by Canuteson to Waco, Alfred Amundson returning from Dallas after his wife’s operation, and Rev M Harge’s sermon in Norse Lutheran Church. The report covers weather, student activities, social calls, a missing breast pin, and several brief local notices and ads.
