History
This home is steeped in history. We found the November 16, 1918 copy of The Literary Digest mailed to the home owner of that time, W. P. McLeod who was in the General Merchandise business. We even found the May 1910 issue of Pearson's Magazine. We also found a copy of the 20th Century Typewriting Workbook with sample forms to be completed; such as a Western Union Telegram form. See History we found to see pictures of some of the publications we found stored and forgotten for almost 100 years in this home.
