Retail Division Organized By Chamber Of Commerce  --  Retailers Now Solicited; To Have Regular Round Table Conferences

The Strengthening of a weak link of the local Chamber of Commerce is now being
sought by members of that body in the organization of a local Merchants' Retail
Division.  Several meetings have already been conducted by the committee headed
by Harold Getz, proprietor of The Leader Store, in an effort of establishing
sound co-operation among local businesses houses.

It is proposed that each committee within the Retail Division appointed to
represent the different lines of merchandise will bring about a thorough
understanding and go a long way toward solving the many problems faced from time
to time by the retailers.

The Retailers Division will always have the support of the Chamber in sponsoring
movements and funding worth-while activities.  The Committee is making a store-
to-store canvass now and expects to make encouraging reports at the next meeting.

Fitch, John - 1874

The First Steamboat
His name was John Fitch.  Twenty years before the great experiment of Fulton and Livingston, on the Hudson, a steamboat was constructed and put into operation in Philadelphia, under his sole direction, and was found to go at the rate of eight miles an hour.

He was considered, in his day, as quite visionary, and being a poor man, found it difficult to command the means to make his experiment. "Had his means been equal to the accomplishment of his designs, there can be no doubt that he would now hold undisputed the honor of having given to the country this most noble and useful invention".

He at last became discouraged and disheartened, and ended his days by suicide, and lies buried at Bardstown, Kentucky.

Boronda, Bertha - 1908

Bertha Boronda was sentenced to five years in prison for “Mayhem” in 1908.

Since the newspaper article date and the date in the photo differ so much, I'm inclined to think that the 'mug shots' are from the prison in which she did her time.  Also, the newspaper article is from San Jose, California, and the 'mug-shots' are from Santa Clara, Nat. Minnesota.







 The following is the article from the Santa Cruz Sentinel - 2 June 1907  Page 6
