In a March 4 1935 letter from South Holland Illinois George W Vos asks President Roosevelt to shield local onion set farmers from cheap imports.

He cites 77 carloads arriving from Greece and Switzerland undercutting prices and urges additional tariff protection. The letter is copied to the US Tariff Commission and Congressman Edward A Kelly. Public notices include local rental and sale items for South Holland.
