We dropped into the millinery store of Taylor & Taylor South Main Street, Tuesday. This store will certainly catch the ladies, for how they can go in and come out without buying some of the handsome things we saw Tuesday, is more than we can tell. The ladies of this establishment are certainly connoisseurs in the millinery art.

[TAYLORS: NOT RELATED.]
Winfield Courier, June 26, 1884.
The Geuda Springs Herald tells a confiding public that there are two Taylor sisters at Winfield, two at Arkansas City, and two at Geuda Springs, and strange to say, but nevertheless true, they are in no way related to one another and are all engaged in the same vocation—millinery and dress making.
Winfield Courier, July 17, 1884.
The Waubaunsee News has found another source of wonder in the famous waters of the Saratoga of the West. “The Geuda Springs Herald says that ‘there are two Taylor sisters at each Winfield, Arkansas City, and Geuda Springs, in no way related to one another.’ It certainly must be that the Geuda Springs water produces remarkable effects upon the sisters in that latitude or there could have been some discovery of relationship. Ever since Bob Mitchell told that terrible yarn about the R. R. Co. making him an offer of a round million for those springs, that water down there has been playing thunder, and now it has produced that dreadful result of producing sisters in no way related to one another. We hope the good people of Cowley and Sumner will resolve, in Mass Convention, to keep the women away from those Springs.”
Winfield Courier, October 16, 1884.
