From the Lawrence Daily World for July 15, 1906: “The State Society of Labor and Industry has collected statistics showing Kansas is making big strides as a factory state, with packing houses and mills becoming the major factors. There are now 22 packing houses in the state and some more are due. There are now 354 mills in the state and the industrial climate is growing. : Baldwin has been making steady growth and there is no better evidence of growth and prosperity than postal receipts. The stamp sales for the year ending July 1 amounted to $6,722, an increase of $612 over last year and a boost of $2,461.25 over 1902. It is good to see a good neighbor doing well. : Eudora churches seem to have begun a successful summer program of open air collective meetings.”
