Old Ladies Home Journal Ads and Iowa School Costs Highlight Local Note
A reader finds a 1892 Ladies Home Journal issue with vintage ads such as a Rocker Washer and Rising Sun stove polish. In Palo Alto county, Graettinger School lists the lowest per pupil cost at 441 dollars with county average 515, while tax millage remains high due to low assessed valuation. A conservation report notes Iowa bullhead catches, the largest at 3 pounds 9 ounces and 18 inches long, another at 2 pounds 8 ounces and 16 inches.
