    100 Years Ago: Roggen gas station sued for not charging state tax – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the last week of December 1921, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    The owner of a Roggen gasoline station is the subject of $470 lawsuit by the State of Colorado. The state is suing because the station owner did not charge his customers the 1-cent-per-gallon state tax on gasoline.

    The Greeley Sugar Mill is nearing the year-end closing. All the beets have been sliced and sugar making will be over by the end of this week. For the first time in many years, no one was killed while working at the factory in 1921.

    A Greeley man was fined $5 and court costs for using force upon his wife. He didn't want her to go to a dance, so he ripped the buttons from her dress, thus making it impossible for her to leave the house.

    A registered Holstein cow, Lady Segis Pontiac Luria, is the top fat-producing cow in the state of Colorado. Owned the dairymen of Johnstown, Whowell and Polley, the cow produced 93.3 pounds of butterfat during the month of November.

    A widow said she has received a marriage proposal from a barber. He told her that after working hard all day, he longs to come home to a face that doesn't need anything done to it.

    Look, just arrived: A carload of extra fancy Winesaps. $2.35 per bushel Come in and look them over. At the Colorado Fruit and Veg Co. Phone GR-1059.

    Column: "In each group of 100 people, there are only two who are interested in international affairs and 98 who are interested in their neighbors' affairs."

    Also: "Some relatives love you, some are neutral, and some sent your small boy a loud horn for Christmas."

    A woman in Mead has been suffering from intense pain and has not been able to sleep because of it. She went to a neighbor's home, where the woman was deeply religious. The two prayed for help from God for several days, and the pain has now gone away and the woman is sleeping well.

    A bride and groom suffered a severe problem immediately after their wedding. They were married in the bride's home and as they walked out the door a group of men in a car pulled up, jumped out and kidnapped the groom. The bride, a graduate of the State Teachers College here, found him hours later, locked up in the city jail. When she identified him, he was released.


    — 100 Years Ago is taken from the original pages of the Greeley Tribune, the Weld County Republican, and when they merged, the Greeley Tribune-Republican....







    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    My grandma said beet sugar isn't as sweet as cane sugar.

    She is right but beet sugar is much cheaper.
