Our Town

Pages 26-27 Our Town, Kimballton, Iowa Circa 1922

The Pedersen Meat Market is a clean shop. Every Friday afternoon Pedersen is seen giving the whole place a thorough scrubbing out from windows to meat block with soap and scalding hot water, getting ready for the week-end trade.

Mr. Pedersen knows how to pick young stock and how to select the choicest cuts for his customers.

Lately he has addeda line of canned goods. When in the meat market look over his well supplied shelves for anything you need in that line.

Turn to his ad in the supplement--it tells you all about it; also tells you when he has fish, celery, and other specialties on hand.

Let us enter into the rollicking fun of this Yule-tide unmindful of cares that are past and let us, with hearts hopeful of the future, make others happy that we may store up happiness fo rourselves.--Craddick Service.

Boost, when the sun is shining;
Boost, when it starts to rain;
If you happen to fall, don't lie there and bawl,
But get up and boost again.

--Northern Light

Let us co-operate and move forward hand in hand, rather than split up into factions and starve our souls on dogmatic differences.--Hubbard.

NO HISTORY COMPLETE WITHOUT THE FARMERS

We have now in a brief way written up the town, earlier and present; but there is one thing the town fully realizes; that no complete history of the place can be written without writing up the history of most of the farmers who live in and around Kimballton. Much as we should like to do that, we shall not be able to do it at this time, as it would make a book in itself.

We want you to know, however, that we realize just what our good, wide-awake farmers have meant to this town and community, and that without their co-operation Kimballton would not be on the map today.

In this spirit we invite you to become members of the Kimballton Welfare Club. There is no reason why the farmers should not be represented in this group of men, who have formed the club with the purpose of bettering the town.

Kimballton is a typical farmers' town, entirely dependent on the surrounding agricultural territory. Why shouldn't you have a voice in deciding what kind of town your town should be?

You should! And the Welfare Club wants you. We invite you to join us and to help make Kimballton the kind of town you want it to be.

If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
I said when you went away,
I had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex "our own"
With look and tone
We might never take back again.

We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for "our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love "our own" the best.
An, lip with the curve impatient,
Ah, brow with that look of scorn,
'Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn.

--Margaret E. Sangster.
