Mixed antique listings dominate Houston shops in late 1910s ad pages
The page catalogs a jumble of ads and notices from hardware and music stores, loan agencies, and bidding calls. It lists piano bargains from Emerson to Steinway, loan offers on diamonds and real estate, salary and chattel loans, and public bid requests for county projects. Several notices reference August and June 1918 dates and local addresses in Houston, Crockett, and surrounding areas.

The Iast Legislature enacted a law restricting foreign languages to high schools, citing wartime concerns and the presence of Spanish in many schools. Enrolled students last year included 287 in German and 2302 in Spanish across all grades, with French appearing only in high school.
