"W.E. McEwen, of the Labor World, also confesses to a weakness for the young turkey."

Keep him out of the chat rooms.

Black winter radishes, marachino cherries, and grapefruit, milk-fed chicken ... thanks, Paul, that was a fun read. Wonder what the women of Duluth wanted to eat?

I wonder if the celery predilection is related to the great quantity grown by Hartley in his fields and sold locally. 

Also, whatever happened to plum pudding? Does anybody in America eat plum pudding anymore?

Chester Creek House (13th and 2nd) was the Freimuth family mansion.
