Dewey Celebration and fall fashions in Alma and Ithaca
Numerous Alma notices report Dewey celebration events in Alma and Ithaca venues, with fireworks and a grand pattern date at Mrs Wixson and millinery openings at Lathrop and Fugel. Local business ads promote Messinger’s clothing, Pettyjohn’s linens, and Brock’s heating stoves as well as upcoming sales, and several residents visit nearby towns for the week.
