1918, 100 Years Ago.

"N.J. Smith, of Afton township, is one of DeKalb county's progressive farmers, and to prove the fact that he is progressive, has recently had the Swanson brothers install one of their famous Delco lighting systems.

"Mr. Smith ordered lights in all parts of his farm residence, and in all of the outbuildings so that he would not be compelled to bother with the use of kerosene lamps or lanterns at any time."
