Caravans in the mid-1920s were meant to build excitement for the Corn Palace Festival Written By: Marcus Traxler | ×
Billed as The West s Wonder Show, the 1926 Corn Palace Festival was advertised in a Sept. 25, 1926 edition of The Mitchell Evening Republican. The advertisement is part of the Carnegie Resource Center s collection on the Corn Palace. (Marcus Traxler / Republic)
EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of a series commemorating the 100th anniversary of the current Corn Palace building, which opened in 1921.
Interest in the Corn Palace Festival in the 1920s was helped by word of mouth and through advertising handbills. But Mitchell leaders also got on the road to get the message out.
Indoor toilets weren’t yet universal, and outhouses were present even in cities. “All outside toilets are inspected and cleaned at night,” the public health officer in Devils Lake wrote.
The crude sanitation practices at the time created breeding grounds for pathogens. Mayville passed an ordinance in the spring of 1919 requiring all people selling cows within city limits to be tested for tuberculosis.
The city’s public health board recommended that Mayville “take action at once to comply” with state law on garbage disposal, “but as yet little has been done by the city for garbage disposal,” the city’s health officer reported for 1918-20.
