Here is sample of wedding notice
in 1920 as foreseen by the Atchison
Globe: 1.-The bride looked very well in
travelling dress, but all eyes were
centered on the groom. He wore
black suit that fitted perfectly his man
| ly form, large boquet decorated his
coat lapel, and in his daintily gloved
hand he carried cluster of American
beauties. His hair was cut close and
delicate odor of BARRIERS oil foated
down the aisle as he passed. The young
people will miss him now that he is
married; he is loved by all for his many
| accomplishments, his tender graces and
winning ways. The bride commands
good salary as bookkeeper, and the
| groom will miss none of the luxuries to
which he has been accustomed A
