Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 164, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 July 1919 — WILLIAM TRAUB HAS RIVAL. [ARTICLE]

WILLIAM TRAUB HAS RIVAL.

Edward Gilmore recently placed a brilliantly colored barber pole on Washington street, thus proclaiming to the world that not far away there lurked a tonsorial parlor. But the barber pole is no longer resplendent nor does it longer proudly hold its head on high. All because Charles Morrell pulled a William Traub and bumped the pole with his Detroit Disturber. Mr. Morrell attempted to park his car along the street, the brakes failed to work and the car crashed into Mr. Gilmore’s advertisement. Caroline Herman, one of the regular nurses at the Jasper county hospital, underwent an operation Friday at the American hospital in Chicago for gall stones. No word has been received from her since the operation. He said,«“wilt thou?’’—and she wilted. She wed a prince she, should have jilted. But they’ve lived happily until this day, cause nobody “gave the bride away.” Moral: Tig-up with an Oakland. Nobody’s got anything on them.— Hugh Kirk.
