A jumble of postal and travel lines blends with a political notice from Washington Township announcing a caucus on Saturday March 7 at the Town hall.

Also noted: local business moves and a fire loss at Bert Wilgus Hardwick with insured property and lapsed policy.

The notice promotes low prices on mackerel, prunes, oysters, coconuts, asparagus tips, sour kraut, ammonia, flour, syrup, hams, corn, peas, beans, and more. It implies a limited promotional period urging quick purchases.
Our basement overflows with bureaus washstands bedframes and glass frames as rows stretch to the ceiling. Extension tables side boards chiffoniers and more fill streets and alleys between stacks.
