The People's Reveille - circa 1908 - http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/5320/rice.html Most people probably imagine that if they had means they would chose to live in some city where the so-called modern conveniences could be enjoyed. But all people do not experience that feeling. As notable examples we mention two gentlemen whose pictures adorn this page. Mr. Jerome Shoup is rated at $100,000.00 and could live in splendor wherever his fancy might lead him. He recently sold a large farm in Illinois preferring to live and invest his money in this county. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
