Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 August 1911 — BRICKLAYERS MUST HAVE “SUDS.” [ARTICLE]

BRICKLAYERS MUST HAVE “SUDS.”

Owing to the fact that Rensselaer is a “dry” town, the contractor who. is building the Monon’s' new. depot here is experiencing some little trouble in getting enough brick-masons to work for him. A man w T as .sent to Chicago Saturday from to bring down several masons. This he was unable to do, the first question a mason would ask him was whether or not the job was in a wet town, and, when answered in the negative, they would hear no more about the job, preferring to live in a wet town without an abundance of work than to work in a dry place.
