Local notices and commerce mix in Fayette county ads
Read between the lines as a Fayette county page lists merchants and services. Dry goods at Capper & Swittifer, laundry agencies at Tonjum Bettleson Clermont, and a Fair Story paint update plus Elgin laundry agency. Reports cover farms, canning shipments, grape prices, and a county treasurer candidate’s visit, with social notes from West Union and New Hampton.
