Alma Women Question Local Prices At Civic League Meeting
Alma business leaders come under review after a Civic Improvement League and Women's Club session at Mrs. William A. Bahlke's home. The group compared Alma prices with St. Louis Ithaca Elwell and found little difference, attributing higher local costs to national trends rather than local gouging. The report notes Charley Depew may return to Alma College baseball, boosting the pitching staff for the spring season.
