JIM: A bit of 1931 humor, whether intentional or typo By JIM Last night, as I perused a copy of the Adair County News published in the summer of 1931, my eye wandered by, then did a U-turn and backtracked to, a short front page piece. It seems the Crawford-Gatlin Inc store had rearranged some of its departments, moving the gentlemen's wear here, the ladies' ready-to-wear there. The last sentence of the announcement, however, is what caught my attention. I can't quite decide if it were true confession or typographical error, but it stated, "The office has been moved to the balony." (For the record, Crawford-Gatlin Inc. opened in Columbia on Saturday, August 31, 1931 in the Russell & Co. building, corner of Jamestown Street and the Public Square. The firm withdrew from town at the close business on April 16, 1932. Lerman Brothers moved to the Russell & Co. building in the early fall of 1933.) This story was posted on 2017-10-15 08:57:58
