May 10, 1899

The Ricketts Depot of the NorthWestern Rail Road c. 1906?

I pulled this from the Rickett's 75th Jubilee book, so it's originally from either the Charter Oak Times or Schleswig Leader, but I'm not sure which- May 10th, 1899--- Town of Ricketts--- May 11th Town of Schleswig. These towns will have a railroad soon and are good openings for all kinds of businessess and professions. These towns are in the midst of the best, richest and most prosperous farming districts in Western Iowa.
