From the December 9, 2014 Mid Week (Sycamore, DeKalb County).
125 Years Ago, 1887
The Sycamore City Council purchased a hook and ladder truck for $250 from the E.B. Preston Co. of Chicago. (Cheap!)
On Monday the temperature was 104 degrees!!
The canned goods from the Sycamore Preserve Works have gotten so popular the business is going to double during next year.
"While driving by Norwegian Grove Saturday, Mr. Tanner spotted a large bald eagle perched on a treetop. He drove to town and got his gun, but on return, the proud bird had disappeared." (This could get you in a lot of trouble today.)
The juice of a ripe pineapple is said to be an infallible remedy for diptheria. (Something you don't hear much about today.)
