Great Sale of Live Stock

Last April 2021, I posted an article by Clintonville Historical Society President Mary Rodgers, about the Clintonville Woman’s Club. The club was built on land that was once owned by a “horse trader” named E. A. Fuller.

I recently found some old advertisements for horses–bought, sold, stabled–at E.A. Fullers Farm. Here’s one of them from the Columbus Dispatch (published as Columbus Evening Dispatch) October 27, 1876, page 1.

(I’m glad it was not a sale of dead stock.)

There are many more ads; here’s one for stabling horses near E.A. Fulller’s farm from the Columbus Dispatch (published as Columbus Evening Dispatch) November 12, 1877 page 4.


The Dispatch has lots of other ads as well, especially from 1902, for stabling horses at the Fuller farm. They’re great reminders of Clintonville’s agricultural past.

[Thanks to the Columbus Metropolitan Library for making the Digital Columbus Dispatch available and searchable online on CML’s web site.]
