Here's one from the early 40s before I was born

Adjacent to the residences that have no plumbing, and usually
located from ten to five hundred feet in the rear thereof, always is a
small building known by various and assorted time honored names
which are as euphonious as bath-room, lavatory or latrine.
Such a structure located on the premises occupied by Henry Wilcox
at Jonesville, the southern suburb of this village and near the Shell
gas station, became on fire Friday morning Sept 1, to which the Fire
Department made a rapid response as the first information was that
it was the gas station. Such it was, but not the "Shell"
As the damage was mostly confined to the roof, the usefulness
of the edifice was unimpaired, except during a rain storm. Had the blaze
continued til the heat reached the heart of the structure, the odor
might have very distantly approached that emanating from the
nearby Rendering Works.
The blaze may have had its origin in some of the recent visitors
smoking in self defense. All occupants escaped safely.

My father's, I think the editor had a sense of humor.
