Jasper County Democrat, Volume 12, Number 101, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 April 1910 — NOT A BUCKETSHOP. [ARTICLE]

NOT A BUCKETSHOP.

In last week’s issue of the Democrat this paper stated that Mr. Hayes, of Goodland, was “now in charge of the local bucketshop owned by Schwabacher & Co.” Monday Mr. Schwabacher telephoned this office protesting against the appellation and stating that they were not a “butketshop” but regular members of the Chicago Board of Trade. The Democrat confesses that it does not know the full definition of the term “bucketshop,” and probably not one person in every five hundred of its readers knows what a bucketshop is; so if that is an improper term to apply to Mr. Schwabacher & Co.’s local office, we take it all back.— White County Democrat.
