A newspaper announces a subsidized home prize chosen by a subscriber committee with no publisher interest. The front faces Railroad street on a clean common. a sturdy five room house with garret cellar and attached room on a 33 by 200 foot lot. The winning subscriber receives clear title and no encumbrance valued near $1000 built with quality materials.
The article notes the difficulty of offering premiums to attract new subscribers and to collect overdue payments. The publisher admits the scheme may be unaffordable but hopes the strategy will increase receipts and future renewals.
Miss Mable Barnes and Miss Winnegruth visit relatives here while Congressman Crumpacker plans a Swedish picnic in Chesterton on July 4.
