NEW MARKET OPENS TOMORROW[/b]

  The Inyo market will be open for business tomorrow. It Is located in the Sollender building on lower Main street and is the most capacious meat market in southern Nevada. It is sanitary in every respect. The company is manager by W. B. Sollender and he has acquired a capable corps of employees. There will be no deliveries and the goods will be sold for cash from the block. Mr. Sollender expects by this means to save his customers from fifteen to twenty cents on the dollar on their purchases. A feature will be the cold storage plant. Another innovation will be the poultry department, where birds will be selected and dry picked and cleaned while the customer waits. Inyo county dairy and poultry products will be a feature of the establishment.

Ha, fresh and local!  Makes a lot more sense than today's obsession with chemicals -- I suspect much of our poultry would go uneaten if we could see it on the hoof.

ADVERT.

  Warm up with a glass of hot clam juice or a tomato toner. Where? At the Tonopah Liquor Co. If you prefer something else, ask for it.

This reads like they're shying away from promoting liquor for some reason, or is it tongue-in-cheek?  I am under the impression our Canadian friends still make Bloody Marys with clam and tomato juice.

  The eyes of Bill Bowler, veteran detective sergeant, were suspiciously misty as he spoke of the death of 17 year old
Katherine Beatty today. Bowler tracked down and caught the man who enticed Katherine from her home in the little town of Moberly, Mo. The man was John Cochrane. He poses as a vaudeville actor,
  Before she died the girl told Bowler that Cochrane had painted a rosy picture of life in the big city. When she came here with him he first debauched her, she said, and then sent her out on North Clark street to get money from men. The first week she said she turned over $60 to him. Then he was arrested for violation of the white slave law. But the government can't punish him now. Katherine would be necessary as a witness. And Katherine was buried today by her school friends in the little cemetery among the hills that surround Moberly. The doctors say her death was caused by her experiences in Chicago.

Those little old hardscrabble miners bowling?  Seriously, can this town get any more charming?

Haha.  I had to look up the 'Brunswick-Balke-Collender alley' thinking that they might have been fancy enough to have automatic pin setters, but no, not until 1936.  I did come across this interesting article though...here is a quote from it:

Code Select Expand

“The man at the counter reserved your bowling ball, checked your coat and had your favorite cigar rolling on a machine,” Zainea recalls. “He rented you bowling shoes and took yours to polish while you bowled. He cleaned and blocked your hat while you bowled and served as your bookie, too.”

I was somewhat surprised that Brunswick-Balke-Collender offered more than bowling related products.  Bar fixtures, radios and phonographs?  Who would have thunk.
