25 YEARS AGO
(From The Glasgow Courier, Aug.
30. 1918.)
Don't forget the one day fair at
Glasgow, Monday, Sept. 2, to be held
in the old Western Realty rooms in
the Rundle building.
At an enthusiastic meeting at the
Chautauqua tent a large number of
Glasgow citizens made the next
year's Chautauqua possible by sign
ing the Ellison-While guarantee for
450 season tickets.
Red Cross work rooms were open
Saturday evenings as well as other
evenings of the week for the making
of surgical dressings. Tire allotment
for the county was large and many
more workers were urged to help.
They were short 600 pairs of socks
for the three-month allotment and
a call was made to help make up
the shortage. Tire slogan was "Knit,
knit, knit!"
By its speed and efficiency the
Glasgow fire department saved two
business houses from destruction.
An early morning fire threatened
the DeHaven carpenter shop "just
over the viaduct on the north side.''
It was about under control when a
fireman saw a blaze on the south
side of the tracks. A group of fire
men located it in the kitchen of the
Model bakery and cafe on Front
street and had the water turned on
the blaze before the whistle blew.
1« YE ARS AGO
(From The Courier of Sept. 1,
1933)
A record rainfall of 3.26 inches,
most of which fell within a few
hours, made torrents in the streets
and flooded most of the basements
in the city.
Announcement was made that
Paul J. Campbell had purchased the
Glasgow' hotel from O. T. Onarheim.
Mr. Onarheim had been owner of
the hotel for 14 years, coming here
from Anaconda, where he was an
early day resident. His plans were
indefinite but he thought he might
make a tour of Europe.
The Rev. George MacDougal ar-1
rived as new pastor of the Baptist
church. I
Joseph Mertins of Butte visited his !
sister, Mrs, R. H. Priedl. He and Mr. j
Friedl left for St. Paul to attend the
Minnesota state fair.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B Shoemaker
spent several days in the city visit
ing friends. Their home was at Hins
dale but Mr. Shoemaker was acting
as relief agent at Dodson.
Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Austin re-j
turned from a month's vacation trip
through the northwest.
Mrs. Oscar Stein and sons arrived
from Fort Madison to visit Mrs.
Stein's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Illman.

Your Local Stores
Not mony years ogo American opoetites were re
stricted to o limited diet of seasonal, local products.
During the winter there was little fresh meat and no
fresh vegetables. Foul-tasting spring tonics were sup
posed to compensate for this deficient bill of fare
Then American ingenuity wert to wek Community
grocers ond meat dealers stocked canned goods that
could be s*or?d without spoiling ond installed refrig
erators to keep meat fresh and wholesome Today we
have the world to choose from right in their stares . .
a bewildering orray of domestic ond foreign foods.
The men and women who work in those shops merit
aur respect ond gratitude Because of meir enterprise,
sales volume increased, and so prices steadily sp,ruled
downward Savings made from lowering unit costs by
mass production were passed on to us, the consumers.
We owe much to these men ond women for they
pettered our eating habits . , . made it possible for
us to enjoy heoliliful, balanced meals oil year 'round
with better quality and greater variety at lower cost
than the world has ever known . . plus SERVICE!
This desirable condition is a result of the American
erprise system that offers opportunity for ambition,
brains and self-reliance to profit through IndiviJual
effort. Worth keeping . . isn't it?

EDUCATION
AND WAR
The type of war now being waged calls for all of the
highly skilled workers available. Technically trained
people are urgently needed both in our preparation for
war and in the actual operation of our war endeavors.
I
The business end of our government has developed
to such proportions that there is a real need for steno
graphers and even typists and clerks. Young men who
are thoroughly trained in accounting and the use of
machines are utilized for this type of work instead or
military duties after enlistment.
.
I
■
■
We are in a period when "Education actually goes to
war." Students have an obligation to our country. Those
who cannot serve in the military machine can certainly
serve at some station that is essential to keeping the
war machine operating.
We are proud of the numbers of young men and
young women who are now using their business college
education doing some of the government's daily routine.
Many are in Washington in responsible positions at
salaries from $1,440 up. Some have already attained
good promotions. One young lady stenographer who
graduated June 1. 1936, is employed in a California war
office and her salary is $285 per month. So education
pays. Business college education pays. Business college
education pays in peace times as well as in war times.
