Lincoln Highway County Consul (1924): Parley Sheldon.
"This town had been in existence a long time before 1914. Ames was then, and is now, a college town, and it houses the agricultural college of the state. The streets were tree lined and the houses, nestled amid green lawns. The houses were set far back from the streets and most of them had driveways of sand and gravel. Well-kept yards contained flowering shrubs that were blooming in a great variety of colors. It seemed to us that everything that sprang from the ground in Iowa grew in great profusion."
- Thornton Round, Cleveland, 1914
