General Notes

Note

"James A. Peterson, an attorney from Chicago, has expressed amazement that the superlative attractions in Saugatuck have not been better advertised. "Many ignorant persons don't know Saugatuck is on the map; many educated persons don't know the most valuable attractions Saugatuck has. Saugatuck has the best flora collection of any city or village in Michigan. This fact must be advertised." "-- Holland City News/The Holland Sentinel, Thursday, Aug. 8 1918
