A late 1910s newspaper fragment shows dense classified ads offering discounts for cash, ad placement deadlines, and various job and real estate notices. Listings include chiropractors and physicians, male and female help wanted, salesmen for multiple companies, and rental and real estate postings across cities with contact details and ad instructions. The mix suggests a local commerce page highlighting employment, housing, and consumer services.
A flood of real estate notices advertises land tracts near Gram, modern bungalows facing Lafayette park, brick homes with garages, and farms with numerous outbuildings. Agents and owners offer easy terms, restricted districts, and open inspections, with several Calgary area locations and contact numbers.
Local listings announce seven room house with two lots in Raymond Iowa near Watersloo and several farm plots for sale. Also advertised are multiple vintage cars including a 1927 Essex and 1926 Ford Tudor with prices and contact data for dealers in Waterloo and Cedar Falls.
A scanned page enumerates numerous used car makes and models with prices, followed by other classified items for sale. Entries include Essex Coach, Nash, Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Overland, and more, with prices often shown in pounds. Also listed are furniture, musical instruments, farm goods, and general sale notices from local merchants and residents.
A fragmented old page lists various sales and services. Items include dog clipping and grooming with schedules, three English Bulldog pups for sale, poultry and baby chicks, bargain prices on poultry stock, bicycles for sale, household safes and cabinets, wartime era toys and furniture, and a few misc items with contact details.
Mixed public notices and sale ads from Waterloo Iowa readers list for sale items including flowers and funeral sprays, plus several court notices from Black Hawk county. The notices include Waterloo Savings Bank vs James S Gray with a rental claim of 853.33 and an attachment writ, a will proof notice, a hearing for a crime, and a bid call for library redecorating with rejection rights.
Kitty Woodrow builds a thriving business selling Bachelor Buttons with a handsome model pictured on ads. She falls in love with the unseen man behind the image and longs for a personal meeting as her Eastern contact invites her West to visit the firm.
Kitty Woodrow arrives in town and meets John Vickers at the station. He introduces himself as the firm’s leader and invites Kitty to stay with his mother while they discuss their one horse business venture. The meeting reveals that Vickers and Mr Buttons are the same person, and Kitty senses a growing bond.
