Cigar Ads and Farm Prospects Mixed in Provincial Journal
A jumble of 19th century notices includes tobacco ads touting cigars as good thinking aids and urging readers to try Chico, alongside agricultural reports on mint farming in Iowa. The piece mentions mint oil yields, land costs, and projected returns, plus stray notes on prison cigarette rhetoric and grain/beef production data from the era. Multiple entities appear, including Wadsworth Bros, Ulrath, and local provincial references, with figures like 675,000 pounds of beef and 800 dollars outfit cost.
