Odds and Ends from a Busy Era Across the Nation
A collage of curiosities: from postal card sales and wartime glove prices to coal finds near Columbia City Oregon and the Duke of Westminster’s growing income. Notes on theater retirement plans, public wages, rail workers, church steeple hawk mischief, and a London street harassment protest mix with shipping, colonization talk, political quips, and a San Francisco labor exchange.
