Bon March in Paris and a Dutchman tale of regret
A fragment from a late 19th or early 20th century paper describes Bon March in Paris as a major dry goods store guided by M Soncicault et Fils, noting a lunch room for customers and a reading room for gentlemen. It then retells an anecdote of a Minnesota Dutchman who slept with the farmer’s family to avoid staying with strangers, followed by miscellaneous oddities and historical notes about Lord Roanoke and local police banter.
