Any other warnings within city limits had to be announced by some other (unspecified) method. At the height of the Industrial Revolution, it's difficult to imagine how many times a day this might have occurred. Fines were set between $1 & remarkably - $50. Issued by the Springfield City Council w/reference to the Daily Republic. 7.75 x 12.5" w/ even toning, soiling & original folds. Ink bleed to final lines.
