How It Looks

April 25, 1878, Saturday Evening Press

Now and then some enterprising reporter from another newspaper would tour Menasha and file a report which the city fathers could then use as fodder for touting the commercial aspects of the city.  This is one such story from early on in Menasha's history, as evidenced by the  reporter's tour of the flour mills that we used to have.  Good descriptions of what happened inside the wooden ware and the hub and spoke factory.

  1. What a terrific unbiased assessment of our town at that moment in time, David. Thank you for sharing.
