Verily the Crawford Block was built in 1895, per the following reports in the Menominee Daily Herald:
• "Within the next few weeks the Crawford Block will be ready for occupancy. The plasterers are now spreading their 'mud.' Cholera Morbus is a dangerous complaint, and often is fatal in its results. To avoid this you should use De Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure, as soon as the first symptoms appear."—August 21, 1895.
• "On the first floor main entrance to the Crawford block a cement slab will be put in by Downey, the cement walk man. It will last a lifetime."—August 24, 1895.
• "The large glass show-windows have been put in the Crawford block, and the oak shelving is also being placed in position. Easy to take, sure to cure, no pain, nothing to dread, pleasant little pills. De Witt's Little Early Risers. Best for Sick Headache, Biliousness, Sour Stomach and Constipation."—September 4, 1895.
• "There are a few very bad boys in this city, who seem to think they have a "card blank" to do just as they please. The police ought to look after these vandals and place them In the 'lock-up' when caught throwing stones and doing other acts of vandalism. The boys who daubed up the plastering In the Crawford block with red paint ought to be severely punished for their Idiotic foolishness. Cholera Morbus is a dangerous complaint, and often is fatal in its results. To avoid this you should use De Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure, as soon as the first symptoms appear."—September 19, 1895.
