Archives Scrapbooks

This image displays a single, aged page from a scrapbook or archival collection, pasted into a book with a thin, dark binding on the right. The paper is a light beige or cream color, showing signs of yellowing and wear typical of mid-20th-century newsprint.

At the top of the page, a small, rectangular clipping from the “Western Press Clipping Exchange, Minneapolis, Minn.” is affixed. It includes the date Tuesday, November 2, 1961, and some handwritten notation (“Ferry”) and stamped numbers (“C63”) in the top right corner.

Below this, a larger, folded newspaper clipping is mounted. The visible portion appears to be a syndicated newspaper column, divided into two columns of dense text. While much of the text is too small to read clearly, discernible phrases suggest a personal travelogue, mentioning:

• A trip to Boston for a “National Home Agents meeting.”
• Visiting the “Natural Science Museum” and the “Haggard University Museum.”
• A “walking tour of old Boston” and “Mother Goose.”
• Experiences in New York City, including the “Radio City Music Hall” and the “Empire State Building.”
• Recipes or tips, such as “sauté it in oil” for squash and preserving pheasant skins.
• An announcement for a “4-H Recognition Event... in the Hurley High School Auditorium.”

In the upper left corner of this main clipping, a small black-and-white illustrated advertisement is visible. It shows a steaming coffee pot, coffee cups, and a sugar bowl, with the headline: “LET’S VISIT WITH LOIS FULTON, TURNER COUNTY HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENT.”

The overall presentation suggests this is a personal or collected archive, preserving a newspaper column (possibly from a rural or agricultural section) alongside an advertising insert, from November 1961.

Leader" with the date "THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1961."

On the page, there are articles and advertisements. One of the articles is titled "LET'S VISIT WITH LOIS FULTON, TURNER COUNTY HOME DEMONSTRATION AGENT," dated November 2, 1961, discussing a trip to Boston including visits to museums and historical sites such as the grave of Mother Goose.
