Auction Cabs for Sale and Local Notices From Pella and Vicinity
A local item notes cabs for sale at the elevator and describes an Dutch auction method in Holland with a dial and moving prices. The page then lists numerous social visits, family professions, and travel among residents of Pella, Des Moines, and nearby towns, including engagements, births, and community events. The lengthy column mentions Miss Marie Vander Waal, Mrs. De Haan, and many others, with several trips to Des Moines and Eddyville, and notes on car service and railroad freight car allocations.
