Old hometown in 185 five from the Herald of Freedom
A collage of notices from the Herald of Freedom urging eastern readers to subscribe to support a free press in Kansas and establish a printing room. It includes a jeweler’s ad calling for local shop setup, and snippets from Lawrence Daily Journal and Journal-World items from 1900 and 1950 noting a snake sighting at a post office, university chimes, street cleaning, arson rewards, state twine, and a blimp over Rusty’s Supermarket.
