Last week it was interesting to see who advertised in Willshire School’s 1948 Willow, the school’s first yearbook.
This week I am featuring local advertisers from the 1950 Willow. This information will coincide with some additional 1950 information that I will post in the next couple weeks. Hint: Some pretty exciting information that is only released every 10 years.
A census enumeration! Specifically, the 1950 census, which was just released earlier this month. And, as a supplement to these 1950 Willow advertisers, next week I will start posting the village of Willshire, as it was enumerated in the 1950 census.

Willshire School’s 1950 Willow yearbook
But, back to today’s post. The 1950 Willow had about 28 advertisers from the Willshire/Chatt area, compared to about 20 area advertisers in the 1948 Willow. There were also advertisers from Van Wert and Decatur in the yearbook but I am including only those from Willshire and Chatt.
