October 1, 1904, Menasha Record
A sampling of ads from this day's edition of the Menasha Record. So smart of the C & NW Railway to throw in the St. Louis World's Fair as an enticement to use their rail line. Parenthetical note: the 1944 film, Meet Me in St. Louis was about this fair and gave us memorable songs to include the title tune and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I wonder how many Menasha residents were able to go to the fair, departing on the train from the depot on Doty Island.
