Capper & ShifTat offer vast corset sale and dry goods
Local ads describe Capper and Shatter Capper & ShifTat in Elgin selling corsets from one cent and cheap dry goods from Chicago. Improvements at Bucher residence, Knudtson & Halvergon advertise fashion items, and posts note Postville Decoration Day turnout and a large crowd. A Clermont grocerione and Elgin merchants promote shoes, ladies wear, and men’s furnishings with low prices. A New York trip for John Etter hints Europe travel and health signals accompany daily new goods and sewing services.
