Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 103, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 September 1908 — She Got Her Pan. [ARTICLE]

She Got Her Pan.

Says the Logansport Pharos: Granite dish pans at 10 cents per was the drawing card, for several hundred women at the 10 cent store Friday morning. One girl about 16 years old had. been downed several times between the front door and the pan counter, but came up before the counter and was at it when she suddenly fainted dead away. Several of the strongest in the crowd picked her up and carried her behind a counter, where the cool breezes from an electric fan and a little dash of cold water soon revived her. “Gimme a pan," she said as she came around to consciousness. “Where’s my pan?” she demanded as she was assised to her feet and she got one which was brought to her, otherwise she would have again gotten Into the push. Women came out of there with the back of their dresses around in front. Hats were turned in all directions, some down over one eye like the bowery girls wear > them after a night eat. Somebody tramped on the rear of one woman’s skirt and tore off a strip clear around about a foot high. She was then dressed for wet weather and dldu’t seem to care as she got her pan.
