THIRTY- TWO years show many
changes in the business life OF
community, and aside from
the files of a newspaper there is per-
haps no better indication of the
changes that have taken place than to
consult an old city directory.
While having her home cleaned the
other day Mrs. A. A. Moore came across
a copy OF the Marshalltown city direc-
tory of 1882. published by Arthur
Holland, of Clinton. The book. valuable
as work Of reference, was presented
to the Times-Republican.
Probably the most striking thing
shown by the directory of 1882. in
contrast with the present day, is the
great number of advertisements of sa-
loonists. In the classi fication of saloons
and sample rooms sixteen are shown in
a population of $40. directory esti-
mate.
