The attentionworthy, the craveworthy and perhaps the occasional unsavory, in and around Columbus, OHIO...capital city...sleeper hottie of the midwest.
Went microfilming today at the downtown library. Advertising copy from The Columbus Dispatch, April 17, 1912 reads: “Unrivaled for cheapness” and “Our entire stock is marked at RUINOUSLY LOW FIGURES to secure quick sales”. Quite forward and harsh in contrast to a poetically embellished recounting of a Titanic survivor’s experience on another page…makes me wonder how ridiculous our modern day choice of words will appear in 100 years time. If you’ve got a moment, I suggest checking out this method of research-cum-recreation on the third floor way in the back.
