Baldwin's Cash Grocery ad, March 1936

As the winter of 1935-36 drew to close, Baldwin's Cash Market, then located in the west corner of the Public Square, offered great deals for the careful shopper, as evinced by this ad from the March 4, 1936 Adair County News.
To do some quick conversions, the 16c crackers would run about three dollars in today's money; the quarter grapefruit juice would take nearly all of a fiver; and the $6.50 lard would lighten one's wallet by almost $125.00.
The name of one item, the Pride of Adair coffee, is a curiosity-piquer. Mr. Baldwin offered it virtually from the time he opened his store in early 1935 until early 1942, a few months after he moved the operation to the east corner of the square.

ISP #postcardsfromlindsey would like to introduce Anatoliy Voloshyn from Ukraine. When asked why he chose to come to LWC, he said it is a very nice school for his sport (tennis) and his education.
He said that there were no adjustments he had to make that were hard for him to make. His favorite place that he has been to is Kyrgyzstan because to him, it is a completely different reality. A tradition from back home that he really loves is jumping through fire, which happens durning different Ukrainian festivals and celebrations. Make sure to tell Anatoliy hello if you see him around!
