Flood brings memorable day for CR dogs
A story published June 1, 1903, related the relatively minor damage of the Cedar River's flooding at the end of May. Particularly interesting was how the high water affected the city's dogs.
Was the cracker plant the Continental Biscuit Co. , whose address in the 1903 City Directory was 321 S. First St., or was it the former Shaver & Dows Cracker Factory at 87-89 S. First, which was sold in August 1890 to the New York Biscuit Co. It was sold again in July 1891 to the National Biscuit Co?
