Linseed Oil Soaring Prompts Canny Talk on Prices and Use
A South Meridian street scene frames a surge in linseed oil price to 76 cents a gallon by the barrel. G G Allen says the rise, possibly higher, barely affects painting costs. Other readers cite fuel for tins and jars and note canners may seek higher prices. A humane officer would note a dray horse eating quietly while its driver shows kind regard. The era’s telephone growth claims 62 000 new phones in six years and rural farmers gain connectivity. Bank dividends and an ongoing tax rebate for cigars finish the update.
