Some (mostly) front page advertising, mid-October, 1928 Ninety-five years ago this week, the New York Yankees had swept the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in the World Series just a few days earlier. By mid-October, the US stock market had increased by well over 20% for the year, but the recently completed Series drew considerably more attention than did the underlying weakness in the U.S. economy's house of cards. But meanwhile, back in The Shire: By JIM Ralph Gilbert, seeking a fifth term as a U.S. Congressman, solemnly stated via paid advertising that "The greatest danger that confronts the American people today is that of sending men who talk 'Dry' and are 'Wet to the U.S. Senate and Congress..." Mrs. R.W. (Leona) Hurt, milliner of Gadberry, invited the ladies to pay call to see her line of "Beautiful new hats." Another front page "card," this one from Russell & Co., also invited women to "Meet our salesman Wed., Oct 17, and if you have had trouble getting your size in a coat, let him fit you right." R.B. Reeves, of Ozark, wanted to sell a pair of good work mules, Bennett Motor Co. offered a number of used autos, including a "Ford roadster, starter and everything," and W.E. Harris offered "Nice picked Indiana pears" for sale. Mrs. Eula Banks of the Coburg section wished to sell a "Well trained English Setter dog," and asked those who were interested to write her for "price and particulars," and Mrs. N.M. (Mary) Tutt wanted to divest herself of "a 36 inch stove, almost new, lot of pipe, 2 doz folding chairs and 20 benches." The almost new Rialto Theatre in the Walker Building offered three movies that long-ago mid-October: "The Circus Kid," "The Yellow Lily," and "The Racket." Saturday night admission was a quarter for adults and kids alike. This story was posted on 2023-10-15 10:23:09
