100 Years Ago This Week

What was going on 100 years ago this week? The following link is provided by the Library of Congress and its Chronicling America service. CLICK HERE for a link to the St. Tammany Farmer edition of September 30, 1916. Some of the headlines are Additional Prizes Offered by Fair Association, Pineland Springs Bottling Co. To Be Moved Into New Method Laundry Building, and Frank Patecek Puts In Handsome Showcases.

Here are some ads from that issue. Click on the images for a larger view.
