Valentine fun ceases at Wood's news depot riot
A crowded Wood's News Depot on Wood Street and Pennsylvania Avenue witnessed a surge of buyers for satirical Valentines. A delivery driver requested a harsh derisive card for his landlady, prompting a grim reworking of lines about rent and greed. The shop also offered cutting verses about umbrellas, poker players, and schoolmistresses. Prices eased from last year as broader stock arrived.
