Scrapbook of R.C. Carden
Additional articles found in the scrapbook of Robert C. Carden.
The scrapbook was made around 1911/12.  Unfortunately not very many of the articles are dated.  They are not necessarily chronological.  I have transcribed them in the order in which they appear in the book and have given as much information about each article as appears in the book.
