National Junk Food Day
National Be Someone Day
Throw Back Tuesday
Every week, the Sylvester Local has a section in their newspaper called "Looking back through the Years". This section showcases different events that happened on certain days many years ago. Every week, we will be showcasing parts of their section in our newsletter!
100 Years Ago - July 15, 1920
"Much preparations are now being made for the opening of the tobacco market at Ashburn on July 20. Fenner and Smith, who operated the warehouse last year at Ashburn and built up an enviable record for courtesy and also for paying the highest market price for tobacco in this section, will be in charge again this year.
Sylvester Auto Company now has Hood Tires, United States Tires, Goodyear Tires, and Firestone Tires. Let them help you when you need new tires for your car!
Don't miss "The Shadow of Rosalie Byrnes" playing in the Sylvia Theatre on Tuesday only. This film features Elaine Hammerstein, who plays a dual role that will more than hold your interest."
