Mrs. Elizabeth Shank, deputy
grand lecturer, made her official
visit to Olive Branch Chapter, Order
of the Eastern Star, on Friday eve
ming.
obligation Night was observed,
with the following taking part in
the ceremony: Erma Kefauver, Lor-

Ella Ditto, Mary Rowe, Kathleen
Ford and Raymond Kaetzel. Mary
Garnand and Mary Rodes were the

The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-02-09

in the articles prices of the day were
compared with those of a few dec
AIDES earlier. The contrast was the
same-but not the figures! The
columnist marveled at the in
increase in the cost of living. If he
were living today, guess he'd have
to find another word for it. Prices
have had their ups and downs, in
every age. But the trouble all along
has been that the downs have never
quite been equal to the ups.
Now we might try a still older
plan. In the real old days you didn't
sell your potato crop for so many
"Sheckles" per peck. No, you trad
ed it on a shirt, or rather the yarn
to make into a shirt. But no doubt
somebody would figure out way
to get a corner on the shirts, or
maybe the potatoes, or both, so
we may as well keep on using
money.
Now l am sure of one thing: if
the price list printed above should
be mistaken by the readers to be
the present day list of one of the
stores in Hagerstown, that store
would be flooded with curiosity
seekers" but 1 bet they wouldn't
sell ANYTHING.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

February 2 was ground hogs day!
What I'm wondering, and I'll bet
the ground hog is wondering too
is how we can have six weeks
MORE of something we haven't had.
My husband tells that he remem-
bers one time when he was young
ster of seeing a ground hog. The
family was out driving that day in
the Model T and in going through
Greencastle they noticed on one OF
the sidewalks a big box with lid
on it and rocks on top to keep the
lid down. Near the box was a sign
marked ground hog. The car was
parked near by and the entire fam
ily piled out to have look at the
famous animal. There were others
there taking a peep too. Imagine
their amazement when looking in,
to find nothing more than piece OF
sausage. They continued on their
way little wiser.

Here are some interesting adj
vertisements from an 1898 issue of
The Evening Globe:
Ice! Ice! Ice!
Owing to the Short Crop of Ma
tural Ice last winter, will furnish
manufactured ice by careful driv-
ers and guarantee good accommo-
dations. Orders left at Flower
Store, in Hotel Hamilton, will re-
ceive prompt attention. Look fol
White Wagons. They pass your door
every morning.

Now that the cold weather is
safely over and before the blankets
are put aside for the summer, there
is an important thing to consider,
and that is to have the woolens,
blankets and other goods properly
Numbered before packing them
away. Its a great task to handle
the heavy blankets yourself, and a
great convenience to have a place
to send them and feel that they will
have the best possible attention.
We have made preparations for
handling this sort of work in the
best possible manner, and your
fannels and woolens will be safe in
our hands
