I know this is becoming the "Chas. A. Lee Blog" but I can't help it that Charles' life got so eventful right around the time that Ainsworth news dried up. Both the Gazette and the News have dropped their separate Ainsworth/Ross Township columns. Nowadays (circa 1913) an Ainsworth person pretty much has to die or be born in order to get into the paper. I hope this is only temporary. I seem to remember seeing 1920s papers with Ainsworth columns.

Well I don't know about the rest of your readers, but I'm enjoying not only my Grandfather's ads but the other pieces of news on the pages. (But I do enjoy the ones with drawings better!) They give an idea of Hobart at that time. I'm finding all the articles very entertaining, whether I've heard of the family or not!
(All the ads, by the way, are going into the Lee scrapbook.)
Actually, I'm finding it all quite interesting, too. And I haven't heard any complaints from anyone else. I never realized the early-20th-century Hobart plumbing scene was so intense! :)
