The Graettinger Times lists subscription and advertising rates for one and six months and per inch prices for local ads. A column essay questions trust among neighbors and notes a federal inquiry into a neighbor killer with an ax. It remarks on print paper profits and publishers feeling gouged after prior price guesses.
A complex trial unfolds in Red Oak with Senator Jones suing detective Wilkerson for defamation. The prose argues public virtue and fault, while noting Jones’ public service and the dangers of character assassination and rumor in a heated case that spills into newspaper columns.
A quirky ad style letter extols Fisk Red Tops tires with a four mile mileage guarantee and cites lower prices than competing shorter guarantees. It contrasts cornmeal pricing, explains the credit system versus cash pricing, touts shoes and 1900 era tools, and pitches stove purchases to save coal with a “Moral Buy A FAVORITE” plea. It mentions Thanksgiving imagery and a flood of product notes from seeds to overshoes.
