Greenfield a booming Indiana business hub amid growth
Greenfield Indiana ranks as a top business town of its size with merchants expanding, building a prosperous trading scene. J Ward Walker & Co reports skyward sales in the new Masonic temple, while Toy and novelty dealer J W Cooper runs a growing department store. The Thayer family operates a 47000 square foot quarter with a cash-only model praised for farmer usefulness. Local figures like A C Pilkenton push political and business ties, with steady bank prosperity and interurban competition fading.

Vaudeville at the Grand Delivers Mixed Night of Acts
The Grand’s current vaudeville program offers a balanced bill with acts from Peter F. Daily & Co. to Billy Clifford, and a standout dog act. Jess of the Bar Z ranch and the wild cow-punchers deliver a thrilling story with danger, romance, and Western scenery. Julia Marlowe’s return to Indianapolis draws a decent crowd, though not a crush, with When Knighthood Was in Flower praised as enjoyable. The Empire spotlight favors Mona Wynne and the 20th century maids, while nitro powder cartridges evoke mixed reactions from the audience.
