What happens next? Sometimes nothing. Sometimes this is all we find. But ... I'll look for additional record. We want to put a name to this. Who was the speaker? How long were they there? Is this mentioned in Zion's Watch Tower?
You can do this too. There are many newspaper archives on the Internet. Try phrases and names and ideas. Often you won't find anything helpful, but you may. Pass it on, even if you think we have it or think it's trivial.
Some of the most interesting discussion has come from what first seemed unimportant. We return again and again to original source material, especially Zion's Watch Tower. Details that seemed unimportant or puzzling become clear if we reassess and review. There is no secret here. Any determined person can do this. Try it.

I'm sure you will know this but... here you have a "Bill Arp" mention of "Plan of the Ages" in 1888 at San Marcos Free Press (San Marcos, Tex.).

Hello, again.
One add in which you can observe some relation between quaker interest and watch tower publications

Staunton Spectator (Staunton, Va.), 1892, 5th October
Add "Quaker bargain and shoe house" at the second column
There is no religious connection. Businesses used the word Quaker to imply honesty. In this era they had that reputation. The Society of Friends as it exists now is not as it was then.
Using Quaker did not imply a religious conneciton.
