1900: A TRENTON THANKSGIVING 109 YEARS AGO

Thanks to Hamilton Library Director George Conwell and his dedication to local history, I have a "tabloid" scanner with has a scanning bed large enough to scan a full Trentonian page, but just a tiny bit short of a large format Trenton Times page. I felt that the above page from the DAILY TRUE AMERICAN of November 30th 1900 gives a pretty good idea of the holiday as it was celebrated
the previous day.
THIS PAGE IS BEING PUBLISHED WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT MOST VISITORS HAVE UPGRADED THEIR MONITOR TO AN LCD WHICH WILL RENDER THE ENLARGED COPY CLEAR, EVEN THOUGH VERY SMALL. IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THE OLDER "TUBE TYPE" MONITORS, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY READING THE SMALL TEXT. MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON THE IMAGE ONCE, THEN AGAIN.
