Elgin ferret tale and new Buffalo currency notes
A humorous tale from Elgin describes a youth and a ferret hunting rabbits, ending with the ferret’s death. The piece then outlines the U S Treasury’s Buffalo Bill era green currency with bison portrait and Lewis and Clark engravings, plus notes on Babe Schock and Everett baseball feats. Also ads seek poultry buyers, a feed mill, and a Chicago ad seeking reps for a wealthy firm with salary and benefits.
