Turlock’s Yesteryears by Scott Atherton

Turlock Journal, Dec. 11, 1908

TAG! WHO SAID TAG? TAG! AND YOU’RE IT!

            Since the Ladies’ Improvement Club has been authorized to attend to the keeping of the cemetery, they have had the grounds well cleaned, which has kept three men busy for more than two weeks, and they are now having a fence built, which with the surveying, will cost in the neighborhood of $300.00. We have used all our funds. There are still improvements which should be made and we should also be in a position to keep the grounds cleaned regularly, so our cemetery will not be a disgrace to the community as it certainly has been this past year.

            This is a worthy cause, and one in which every man, woman and child should not only be interested, but should be anxious to help support.

            We need money to carry on this work, so everybody commence putting away a few dimes and be ready to buy Tags on Saturday, December 23rd.

            Have your coats and dresses decorated as never before and help this good cause along.

            Pretty maidens will greet you at every turn, to sell Tags, so if you are not public spirited you had better keep off the streets on that day. In the evening we expect a very interesting programme at the Opera House, which will be free to everybody. The full program will be given in the next issue of the Journal.

            Remember the date.

            Save your dimes and be ready on Saturday, December 23rd.

            TAG! TAG!! TAG!!!

                        MRS. H. S. CRANE,

                        Chairman of the Cemetery Com.

*The receipts of the Tag sale totaled $202.50.

HOLIDAY HELP FOR YOUR FAVORITE CHARITY

     “It Is Better To Give Than To Receive”

            With your assistance I will give money to your favorite Charity, Churches included, on December 24th.

            I have been in business here in Turlock for five years. I propose to make Christmas gifts to the Charities of this town and immediate vicinity and will provide for this purpose a sum of $10.00 for each year that I have been in business in Turlock. This will make a Charity Fund of $50.00 to be divided as follows: FIRST PRIZE $25.00, SECOND PRIZE $15.00, THIRD PRIZE $10.00.

            I will give you an opportunity to tell me and I will award the $50.00 according to the votes of the people who patronize my Jewelry store between now and December 24th, 1908.

            With each fifty cents purchase you make at my Jewelry department during this great Christmas sale now in full blast, I will give you the privilege of casting one vote for your favorite Charity.

            Don’t fail to ask for a Charity Ballot, if you make a purchase here.

 

                                                Charles V. Lundahl

                                    In St. Elmo Block          The Turlock Jeweler

  • paul on In what different materials do women’s activewear comes? "You may get a variety of fabrics for the best activewear for women online, including cotton, spandex, synthetic, bamboo fiber, and Gore-Tex. Each of these materials has distinctive properties that set them apart. Since polyester is incredibly light and comfortable to wear, we advise you to utilize it. Athletic clothing frequently uses polyester as a fabric. Shirts for activewear, sweatpants and jogging jackets usually contain polyester blends. Polyester often dries quickly, making it the perfect fabric for intense workouts."
  • PaulWatkins on How does a real estate agency work? "Hi Dans Andrew, I'm glad you have made the right decision because a real estate agency is a promising career. Real estate agency involves dealing with properties either for selling or purchasing. When a client comes to a real estate agency to sell a property, it is the estate agent's job to find a buyer. If the agent finds a buyer and closes the deal at a good price for both parties, the estate agent gets a 1% commission from both buyer and seller. This is how real estate agencies work, and estate agents earn."

  • dans on How to choose the right weight loss clinic? "A reputable weight loss clinic should preferably include counseling while being overseen by a doctor or other qualified medical expert. However, some weight-loss facilities allow clients to quickly obtain weight-loss medications and leave without providing a thorough medical history or seeking a physician's opinion. You should stay away from these types of locations because they're dangerous and probably won't result in long-term weight loss. Find a facility that focuses on the behavioral treatment or lifestyle counseling instead. They can provide you with the tools you need to make healthy decisions and advice on how to fit exercise into your daily schedule. Some of these tactics include keeping track of your meals and keeping a weekly workout log."
