From the January 4, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"A business change that will be of interest to many of our readers took place this week with the North Side market Ashelford and Roberts have disposed of their place of business to A. Palmquist of this city who promises to help the people in their fight with the high cost of living.

"Mr. Palmquist says he will conduct a strictly cash business, and do no delivering thus giving the people the benefit of declining cost, and also the credit system."
