Ice Plant Pioneer Nick Warren and Local Bottling History
A brief history of Littleton’s beverage industry traces ice plant founder Nick Warren later expanding into bottling with Orange Crush franchise. Warren started in 1923, sold to Carter brothers in 1929, weathered a receiver during the Depression, and the McPherson brothers acquired the firm in 1932 and have run ice and bottling since. Miss Fanny Lewis Clary returned home after visiting Mrs. Clarence Bailey in Brunswick, Virginia.

Editorial endorses legal liquor sales with strict control
The editorial argues all should observe peer law and that public boards must keep open records. It favors legal sale over prohibition and asserts liquor traffic will exist either way, so the system should be legal and tightly controlled to prevent oldtime barroom excess and safeguard the system.
