Estherville Vindicator Opinions on Local Affairs
The Estherville Vindicator discusses tax cuts near Sherburn Minn and urges thrift at county and city levels. It opposes a swimming pool funded by taxes, favors cannery and creamery development, notes Cherokee poisoning from tainted buttermilk, and criticizes Prohibition claims, rail service at Pocahontas, and overemphasis on automobiles over essentials. It urges local merchants to advertise out of town and cites evangelist Rev Linicome on extravagance.
