This clipping blends two columns from early 20th century papers.

It then shifts to travel motives and social class in American tourism, contrasting frugal touring with rapid continental trips, before a brief Tacoma League editorial on Roosevelt as campaign issue and a humorous Punchline about sewing on buttons in marriage.

Cut in steel prices signals shift in industry trusts
