Hair Balm and Eufaula Trade Prolific in 19th Century Ads
An odd blend of local commerce and cultural tales fills pages with parlor remedies and a boastful Birmingham style ad. Parker's Hair Balm promises shine and restoration, while Eufaula Alabama shops tout dress goods, patterns, and wholesale stocks. A lengthy anecdote recalls a Winston county duel over pride, ending in reconciliation. Indian life and mission notes reveal harsh folk customs and widow hardships. A curious ice lake in California, onion kissing games, and curious regional quips finish the page.
