The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

The New Cement Road West of DeKalb Has Hold Up in 1920

 From the September 9, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1920, 100 Years Ago.

"Sand is the only material that has arrived for Hart and Page, the contractors, who are laying the cement road west of DeKalb and the trucks yesterday started hauling this material out to the mixer where it will be used when the crew comes down from Rockford again.

"The material that is needed now is gravel and this is the material that is really holding up the work.  None of this has arrived at the present time and when it will arrive is not known."

The road west of DeKalb would be the Lincoln Highway.
