Monday:
When I got up and dresses and ate breakfast, it did not take long before I went to Emma's. Emma asked Victor how he liked Florence and he said that she was too much of a lady...
Tuesday
Emma wanted me to go down town and pay her light bill, which I did and bought several trivial things....At the table Walter suggested that Emma take me to a new show called "The Liberty". He did the dishes and Emma went with me to the show and paid my way, which I did not like very well. She also bought a quart of ice cream, she paid 40 cents for it, in Akron, a quart of cream costs 50 cents. The show was real good and enjoyed the evening. Walter was very nice when we arrived home again, and tonight I got to stay all night at Emma's house.
Friday
Emma went to the Dollar Sale and bought several house dresses , 50 cents a piece, and bought me some handkerchiefs. In the afternoon, I went to Heinle's where I had been invited to supper, I bought a petticoat for a dollar, 2 pairs of white silk gloves for a dollar and gave Emma a pair. Anna treated me very nice and they had a good supper.
When I mentioned the Ice Cream prices to Ray, he told me that Lawson Dairy was selling a double scoop for 10 cents and quart was 22 cents (when he was a kid). He said that Lawson was hated by other dairies for his prices and was fired bombed at some point.
