100 YEARS AGO: The Wise Hardware and Furniture Co. would be holding a concert on its premises. It was not just any concert: The business decided to use a record from the Columbia Record Co. and the player from the Victor Phonograph Co. The record featured songs such as “Whose Pretty Baby Are You Now?,” “How’s Every Little Thing in Dixie” and “Yaddie, Kaddie, Kiddle, Kaddle.” It was also decided that classical songs would be played. The concert was from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at 923 Tenth Street.
