Falb's smoked Bausage and local notices mix old town items
A jumble of small ads and notes from Elgin area residents covers smoked sausage at Falk's, shoe and enamel purchases at Lowe Bros and Frans, renovations by Schori & Kuster Lumber, and social updates. It mentions John Sutter, Mrs Bauder's siege of quinsy, a Rock Island yard project, and local church society plans, plus weather, births, and a誒 dozen household trades and errands.
