A nostalgic shaft of old time values and odd tombstone verses appears from Judge's Magazine pieces about green firecrackers from China and a collection of quirky epitaphs. The item mixes reminiscence with brief historical notes and local notices including bids for paving and a for sale ad.
A local ad lists deep price cuts on groceries and household staples. Items include granulated sugar, Jap rice, rolled oats, Arbuckles coffee, yeast foam, Crown raisins, mustard sardines and Alaska red salmon, Arm and Hammer soda, Old Country soap, white jar rubbers, clothes pins, Mason jars, and cave oysters.
A humorous regional tale contrasts a Chicago traveler’s woes in Robinsonville with locals all named Robinson. He finds shops, a hotel, and a restaurant all run by Robinsons, until he meets a Jones who warns of economic impact. The piece blends joke sketches with legal notices and local notices from Jo Daviess County Illinois court records.
The spring fashion note outlines gowns for graduates and brides with filmy summer fabrics, pale blue tones, and lace details. It describes princess and lace trimmed silhouettes, belts, girdles, and emphasis on sheer lawns, dotted Swiss, and accordion plaited silk frocks inspired by Fritzi Scheff.
Notices advertise mining lands and leases in the Illinois Wisconsin lead zinc fields. Candidates announce runs for Illinois state legislature General Assembly and Jo Daviess County offices including County Judge County Treasurer County Clerk and Sheriff, all subject to Republican primaries. Names include W H Shons William W Krape James F Leckley William Stephenson John R Gilson Edward Menzimer J C Williams Robert Irwin A L Hathaway.
