Christmas shopping hints and local notices mix
A page of small ads and notes mentions a stylish ostrich plume at Bogaard’s Millinery for Christmas and a nurse for hire during holidays. It also notes Miss Mabel Warren’s return from Mt. Vernon, Miss Bella Grant and Mr. Conrad Slack in Chicago, Miss Marie VanGorp’s tonsillitis, Rev. E L Mills’ evangelistic work, and early Christmas orders at Subenga’s. Postal stamping tips urge rural patrons to stamp mail for carrier ease. Jennie Vander Zyl’s visit to Pella is noted plus a church candy sale and local OsKaloosa visits.
