Bus unloads four car loads at Postville and Elgin link
John Falk & Sons delivered four car loads of autos at Postville last week and another on track there this Saturday, leaving it for another dealer. They questioned whether Elgin could serve as a branch distributing point and suggested a possible misstep by headquarters. A war governor bust for Samuel J. Kirkwood was unveiled at Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi with Governor Hammill presenting the bronze portrait to the government and Col. Robbins accepting on behalf of the government. Mrs. Hammill and Mrs. Niles unveiled the bust.
