February 1, 1895, Neenah Daily Times
Another fine selection of area merchants and services for the Twin Cities. My eye was drawn to the "Livery" ads. "Nobby" refers to something being elegant or fine, it being a British colloquialism. So a "nobby rig" would be a stylish or fancy carriage for one's horses. And in this year of 1895, this was something of interest as the horseless carriage wouldn't be a default choice for transport for many years to come.
