Muscatine Man Joins Hemp Trade in San Francisco and Philippine East
Edward Dunker, a well known Muscatine resident, will leave for the Philippine Islands this month to work as a clerk at an interior post on the island, after securing employment with a large hemp factory in San Francisco. He reports a recent financial downturn reducing local work but sees the foreign assignment as fortunate. He plans to stay about a year and will travel east first. The article also mentions a meeting postponement for Dr. A E Kepford’s lecture and other South End notes including bids for travel and local visits by Theodore Weller and Charles Patterson.
