100 YEARS AGO
The Cowley Weekly Progress
September 7, 1912
A crowd of our "fresh" young men
imagined one day this week they had a
"hunch" that the two couples we men-
tioned last week as having matrimo-
nial bees in their bonnets, were going
to Utah this week, consequently armed
themselves with the customary quantity
of rice and went to the depot to await
their victims, but no one appeared and
the joke was on the boys.

For the sixth consecutive month,
Wyoming was above the national per-
centage of increase in savings, building
and loan mortgages accepted for insur-
ance by the Federal Housing Admin-
istration. For Wyoming, the average
mortgage was $2,861.

Lovell schools opened Tuesday but
not in their new locations as was hoped.
According to superintendent Glenn
Engelking it will be about two weeks be-
fore the new high school building will be
ready to occupy. The delay stems from
the $25,000 loan which the district re-
ceived from the Wyoming Emergency
School Fund. It was earlier expected the
new building would have to be opened
without tile on the floor, lockers, or the
completion of dressing rooms in the
physical education section of the build-
ing.

The Fitch Brothers are coming to
town! A committee for the State of Wy-
oming Economic Development Loan
Fund, commonly referred to as Amend-
ment 4 money, approved a $750,000 low
interest loan that will allow Fitch Broth-
ers Manufacturing Co. of Orem, Utah, to
move their operations to Lovell, where
they will manufacture automatic video
vending machines.
