Elgin News Briefs Include Mills, Markets and Trained Goods
Elgin locals hear of road grading and mill activity while Capper Shaffer and Knudtson Halverson advertise goods from corsets to dressmaking. Stores claim lowest prices on flour, shoes, shirts, hats, and groceries as farmers prepare fields and lines of communication expand with a new telephone link. Local politicians hold a township meeting, and Elgin merchants urge shoppers with large sales on clothing, millinery and furniture, plus notes on rail and stagecoach-style travel changes.
