Chickens are coming back to Downers Grove! Cock a Doodle DOOOoooooo!

A century ago the big name in chicken coops was Potter. The Potter Company was at the end of the commuter line, Downers Grove, and supplied many of our chicken needs. The Potter house still stands today.
This catalog is 128 pages long and has everything one needs to raise chickens. Do our new chicken farmers know what they are getting into?
Perhaps there will be a Chicken Club again with it's attendant awards.

Downers Grove citizens speak up, "Keep your God Damn gumint hands off our plastic bags!!!"

 THE OFFENDING GARBAGE BAGS ARE NO LONGER THERE.   In a show of unity the good folks of Downers Grove demonstrated to big and little "gumint",with a park way protest. To let all the world know that they won't part with their plastic bags the protesters tied plastic bags to parkway trees.
Some might call it ugly but others call it a beautiful exercise in free speech. Power to the people!
"The plastic bags will have to pried from our cold dead fingers before we give them up!"                   Show your support now by tying your plastic bags to parkway trees.
                                                 URINE!? How did they get it in the bag?
