CITY COUNCIL
THE “DEVIL” FOUND
City Council met Tuesday
night with Mayor Fertsch pre-
siding.
Report of the auditing com-
mittee composed of F. K. Bu-
cek, E. C. Timm and Albert
E. Appelt for the years 1923-
£4 was read and ordered fi-
led. !
A voucher was ordered is-!
sued in favor of tax collector j
S. M. Kuykendall for $1.18 as
recommended by the auditing
committee being due him as
overpaid to the treasurer du-
ring the years 1923-24.
Worthy Of Consideration
The Herald reporter has
been informed that 52 mail
sacks of Montgomery Ward
catalogues were received at
the post-office last Sunday.
These sacks we are told
will hold an average of 18 ca-
talogues making about 926 ca-
talogues received at one time.
It is the custom of this
mail order house to have their
mailing list revised twice each
year to be sure that but one
catalogue reaches each home
thus it can be seen at once
how many homes are supplied
in the trade territory of our
city. Watch the parcel post
packages and express office
.and see for yourself the res-
ults from these catalogues
that are sent out.
Worthy of consideration,
don't you think so Mr. Busi-
ness Man.
Commenting on the article
we published in Tuesday’s is-
sue of the Herald regarding
the days of long ago “referring
to” the issue given us by Hen-
ry Pagel date of Aug. 6th 18-
74, we learned that the “de-
vil” of the office at that time
is living and is one of our val-
uable readers.
T. R. Zumwalt of our city
informs us he entered the of-
fice in June of the year 1874
and helped get out the issue
given us by Mr. Pagel. Mr.
Zumwalt is the only one living
that was the employe of the
office at that time, his co-
worker was Carrington Viser
who is well remembered by
some of our citizens. Mr.
Zumwalt relates some very in-
teresting incidents concerning
the work of the newspaper
business at that time.

trict number two have been
saved $5720. The difference
