—November 27, 19134
—January 1, 1914
—February 19, 1914
—April 30, 1914
—May 14, 1914
—August 27, 1914
—September 17, 1914
—October 15, 1914
—November 26, 1914
—November 25, 1915
As you can see from the photos, there are some great ads for local clothing stores, cars, stoves, Sloan’s Liniment, farm equipment, and—my—favorite, a rug dealer who doubled as the town’s undertaker. Hey, you gotta diversify if necessary.
There’s also a full page ad for the upcoming 1914 Clinton County Fair.
Some of the newspapers are in pretty good shape for being over a hundred years old. Some aren’t. But they’re a great look at life in mid-Michigan way back in the day.
Since I live a ways away, I would be happy to meet in Lansing.
