Advertising craft and town talk from Hennepin County
A collage of local commerce notes and personal tidbits covers advertising views from a Minneapolis papers era. Merchants discuss honest, effective ads. Mexicans’ bank savings, farm robberies, church attendance shifts, Mardi Gras, and a year marking Joliet Marquette anniversary are touched, with rural life, weather, and road costs threaded through.
