These are a few of the ads from the Ridgeway Journal dated June 30, 1910:
Grocery store owner O. P. Bennet had an ad on the front page in which he asked “Did your children enjoy the Pony Show? Wouldn’t it be nice for them to have a pony of their own, if it cost you nothing?” The store was going to give away “one of the best Shetland Ponies in Harrison County” to a patron who spent at least $1 in the store.
Miner & Frees encouraged farmers to start thinking about fall already, claiming that “NOW is the time to buy the best SILO made.” Bartlett & Bridges likewise advertised to farmers withWe have the largest line of Harvesting Machinery to be found in this section, and not only the largest but the best.”
Miner & Frees had another ad telling readers to “Wake up! You are not at the beach but at home and the house is full of flies. The only relief is to buy one of those good Screen Doors from Miner & Frees.”
C. O. Buzzard offered gasoline cook stoves for sale, claiming that “Baking and cooking can be done on these stoves just as well as on any coal or wood stove, with less trouble and no dirt, and much more comfort, especially in the hot summer months.”
The opera house was going to present, for one day only on July 2, “Witherel's Scenic Prison Show: "The Twin Hells” of Kansas and Missouri. Two hours behind the walls of Famous Penitentiaries. The only prison show of the kind in the world It is an object lesson to the young and an entertainment of merit for older people.”
