Old Home Town – 100 years ago

From the Lawrence Daily World for June 24, 1907: “Marshal Carmean, some policemen and the sheriff raided the joint of Peter Jenkins at 832 New Jersey Saturday night, arresting Jenkins and securing a large quantity of liquors. : A new self-indexed business ledger is being introduced here and sellers say it can cut down bookkeeping work by 50 percent saving time and money. : Ottawa needs a hotel but is afraid it won’t pay. Lawrence has had a good hotel for 40 years and so far as is known it has always paid well. Ottawa offers a good opportunity for someone who knows the business. “
