Hotel and Case, Lake View, and Wawasee Inn. Not to be omitted is a familiar name, Crow’s Nest, with a quarter page ad listing it — not a hotel, but an ideal country home. One paragrpah says, “We own 76 acres of land, a fine bathing beach, our own cows, poultry, vegetables, fruit, home-cured meats.” The name of Mrs. Martha Crow-Fick is located at the bottom. Over one-half page in the edition tells a story of the Crow’s Nest. Did you know Snobarger s had a car running between Syracuse and Milford at scheduled times for a 25-cent fare each way? F. E. Marsh had a 14-room house for sale on the lake with 100 feet or more frontage on the lake by 285 feet and listed at $3,250 if taken at once. Paul Goodale was listed as prop , of a Lake Side Grocery and the only store on the lake front of Wawasee. A lengthy article tells the history of the Wawasee Inn which originated about 1876 by a group of men from Wabash and was then called the Cedar Beach Club. One Rueben Lutz tells of "seeing acres of bluegill on the top of the water on sunny June days when the lake was smooth.’’ Col. Eli Lilly purchased the property which became a hotel,

however, it burned the following year. A new hotel was built and the name Wawasee Inn was given due to a change of the lake name from Turkey Lake to Wawasee. George W. Miles tells of his interest in Wawasee and his connection withthe state fish and game commission, thus the start of the fish hatchery on Wawasee. Brainard’s Department Store prices were great including bathing suits from $1.50 to $4. The Star Clothing Store bathing suits for women were out-of-this-world, starting at sl-up. Also, A. W. Strieby & Son had a lovely bathing beauty ad but prices were omitted. P R Sprague was manager of the Syracuse Lumber Co., and the City Drug Store was located one-door west of the school house. J. W. Rothenberger featured several vehicles in his ad, the auto amublance and funeral car, and either a horse-drawn hearse or a funeral car was available without extra charge. Sam Searfoss was listed as proprietor of the Syracuse Boat Factory; John Cable, the Syracuse Machine Shop and Butt & Xanders. The Insurance Men Leeper and Riddle, offered a SSO rebate on the purchase of a 1915 Ford F. 0.8. Detroit, listed at $490. Charles E. Bishop was manager of Wawasee Marine

Os the many other boxed ads, what with the drug store soda fountains becoming a thing of the past, was a plain and simple two-column by four-inch ad for pure and wholesome ice cream made by The Syracuse Ice Cream Factory. On and on we could go with this precious issue — but. time and - space just do not permit. . . .

STATE ARCHIVIST LOOKS AT OLD COUNTY RECORDS Thomas Krasean, Indiana State archivist, met with the county commissioners and the Kosciusko County Historical Society last Wednesday in the commissioner’s room of the courthouse. Mr. Krasean and others climbed to the third floor attic of the courthouse to inspect the records dating back to the early 1800’s. Later he met the group again in the commissioner's room and advised on the disposition of these records. The Kosciusko County Historical Society recognizes that the preservation and orderly storage of the old county records is one of the serious problems facing county public officials. Ralph Brubaker, president of the Historical Society, met with the county commissioners and was given their sanction to get professional advice from the state archivist, or a professional historian on what to save and what to destroy of the old records in the third floor attic of the courthouse. Recent Records Well Preserved Most county records dating from about 1900 are well bound and preserved. The early records, dating back to 1837, which are obsolete based on Indiana Statutes of Limitations; but which have much historic value, are mostly in a state of disarray. Original bindings have rotted off, and loose records are inches deep in two of the at lie room floors. County attorney Robert Rasor explained that a county commission on public records must

be formed and have their approval of the disposition of county public records. This commission consists of the judge of the circuit court, president of the board of county commissioners, the county auditor, the Clerk of the circuit court, the superintendent of the Warsaw schools and the clerk-treasurer of the city of Warsaw. The directors of the Historical Society are proceeding with this project, with the approval of the
