The Lititz Record is issued weekly by The Record Printing Co. E. Dr. Fulweiler and R. Sohnsen serve as editors and publishers. The publication is entered at the Lititz, Pennsylvania post office as second class matter.
The article argues that a decline in car production in early 1930s was worsened by a social pressure to not buy new cars to avoid appearing extravagant. It contends purchases stimulate employment across related industries and notes a shift as people start buying again, lifting industry recovery and morale.
The piece notes improving customer care in gas stations with attendants offering water, windshield cleaning, tire inflation, and friendly service. It highlights higher pay and exclusive patronage for good attendants, then mentions the birth of Col Charles A. Lindbergh Jr and an appeal for the family’s privacy amid ongoing kidnapping and murder case fallout.
A commentary argues that public figures should allow a mother and child to live normal lives free from intrusions, acknowledging the difficulty of staying out of the spotlight while protecting private family privacy.
Town notes share a lively mosaic of local sights. Locusts swarm near Church Square creating a near continuous hum. Fischbach sports a decorated right eye while a ball game between Lititz and Clover Park sparks laughs. Hoffman shines in left field until his turn at bat. The Friendly Hour Quartet airs weekly, with Clarence Mahar and Tom Mahar among the singers. Fruit trucks, a patriotic red white blue pump, and quirky street nicknames dot the page as Lititz readies the reformed Lititz Male Chorus under Vic Wagner.
