Help Delhi grow not Chicago big enough says ad
A Hopkinton Leader advertisement argues for supporting local commerce to help Delhi grow rather than sending orders to mail order houses in Chicago. The piece links this to home trade and town prosperity, noting nearby towns’ purchases affect local business. It cites the Monticello Express on heat trends and Miss Julia C. Lathrop of the Children’s Bureau reporting 300000 infant deaths last year, many preventable, urging prenatal care literature be obtained free.
