Lead story: Voter fraud by the dems.
Man back then they made newspapers hard to follow 2 long columns split by advertisements reading from top to bottom then back to top split by more advertisements it like reading something from harry potter now !
The pictures at the top are of:
“Americans Thus Far Chosen For The Hall Of Fame Of New York University”
Top row:
Lincoln, Grant, John Marshall, Audobon, Hawthorne, Adm Farragut, Robert E Lee, George Peabody
2nd row:
Dan’l Webster, Henry Clay, Rob’t Fulton, George Washington, Washington Irving, Thos Jefferson, John Adams, Jos Story
3rd row:
Horace Mann, Henry Beecher, Jonathon Edwards, Longfellow, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Ben Franklin, W.E. Channing, Gilbert Stuart
4th row:
James Kent, Eli Whitney, Elias Howe, Peter Cooper, Asa Gray, Samuel F.B. Morse
I know of most to them... Channing, Kent, Howe, Cooper and Gray I’ll have to look up.
Apparently New York University didn’t get the yankeefa memo requiring us to hate all Confederates, what with Rob’t E Lee on the first row. Guess the stupidity wasn’t as widespread in 1900 as it is in 2018.
I can’t spot what article caught your eye- no “path for wrath” that I can see at the link
I thought you were kidding. I should have known better.
That “Sears and Roebuck” company looks like it might be worth investing in. Might wanna get out before 100 years or so, though.
Don’t know....
George Peabody, Joseph Story, Henry Beecher, Edwards, Channing, Kent or Gray.
Wouldn’t be surprised if I know their connections, to geography or famous institutions.
Wasn’t “Sears..” a part of the Dow Index at one time?
Elias Howe credited with sewing machine.
Peter Cooper’s Tom Thumb...locomotive engineer (designer kind), very famous to us Ellicott City locals.
Sorta reminds me of the WSJ back in the day.
The rents at 84th and riverside drive are $1800/yr. That's $53k/yr in today's dollars according to this source. That's $4,400/mo.
The same building in 2018 now rents for $4500/mo according to this site. Pretty incredible.
“Wasn’t “Sears..” a part of the Dow Index at one time?”
I believe until sometime in the 1990’s. Home Depot replaced them.
Elias Howe: inventor of sewing machine,
All of them are white males. New York University must immediately be shut down and its assets liquidated; all degrees granted by it should be immediately cancelled.
No justice, no peace.
Beecher - key player in stirring up the yankees and a root cause of the War Between the States. His sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, of similar bent, is probably better known today. Beecher shouldn’t be confused with the later doctor who discovered the placebo effect.
Peabody is considered the father of modern philanthropy. (Not to be confused with the later George Foster Peabody, for whom the journalism awards are named.)
> Lead story: Voter fraud by the dems.
LOL!!
Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose!
I too thought you were joking. But yes, the lead story is indeed voter fraud by the Democrats.
I figured that.
Beecher is related to the author.
Peabody is the man behind our famed Peabody Institute.
