Hamburg Fair stock sale nets oversubscription
The Hamburg Fair Association stock sale closed last week with an oversubscription. A long list of stockholders is published here after last week's omission due to crowding. The report notes several local residents visiting Nebraska counties to evaluate buying opportunities and hints Hamburg may gain several prominent families. A florist slogan praising flowers is endorsed by the Reporter force, and a picnic at Pritchards Lake near Northboro is described as a merry, kid friendly event with Ernest Steinkamp as a standout eater.
