Baldy Barney and the Wig That Shone Like Gold
Barney Rollins, a fifteen year old in a grimy alley tenement, loses his hair to illness and endures mockery. He secretly saves wages to buy a ten dollar wig, hiding the money from his drunken father and aiding his ailing sister Aggie with the same fund. After years of toil, the bald head becomes his quiet crown of resilience, admired by neighbors and framed as a halo by those who know his story.

How Me Got Customers
A Western farmer moved from two cent milk to five cent town retail, inviting locals to his farm to view feeding and management. Milking was done by attendants with spotless processes, milk was strained, cooled, and kept in a clean cellar. Visitors learned the system and bought milk at six cents a quart, slightly above market, with easy delivery to Chicago.
