Barn 36 by 62 built for Fred Shonts
Finke's Wall Paper reports Fiskes Murry Kiple built a barn 36 by 62 feet for Fred Shonts and raised it Tuesday. Abe Miller returns home from Cedar Rapids to Hotel Dewey for vacation. Muehlenthaler and Falk repaint their brick building on Center street housing Great Central Tobacco Works. Lawe grass seed is available in bulk from C Linman & Son. The latest ice cream sundae is the Devil's Food. Street work continues on weeds and grass along the streets. Gus Skeela was struck by a tarantula while cutting bananas at Connor Bros store in Oelwein. Primal instincts linger. Chautauqua managers stir interest by placing tail feathers on a boy’s cap, triggering belief he is an Indian.
