Local residents report holiday visits and gatherings
A lengthy list notes Mrs. H C Van Cleave visiting Muskegon while Linda Ward joined a Girl Scout leaders’ camp in Waterloo. Families from Pella, Monticello, Edgerton, Iowa City and beyond spent Christmas and New Year’s with relatives in the area, attending gatherings at the Pippel and De Bruin households, and receiving guests from Holland, Kalamazoo, and Des Moines. A U.S. Department of Agriculture study highlights newspapers as ideal for food advertising and marketing information.
