Last Car to Menasha

September 28, 1898, Appleton Crescent

This schedule was published every day in what was then known as the Appleton Crescent (The merger with the Appleton Post didn't occur until 1920.)  Any regular user of the inter-urban would have this schedule memorized quickly so perhaps it benefitted those visitors to the area who needed to get to Menasha and had no clue as to the regularity of cars.  Or it was simply customary to do so in a newspaper. That there was regular service to the industrial city south of Appleton speaks a lot about Menasha's place in the economy and social fabric of the late 19th century.
