A CHALLENGE.

To the Farmers of Northern Minnesota:
1t has been reported to us by persons
of different localities, that a certain agent
in the employ of G. F. Griswold, manufac-
tnrer of the Minneapolis flaming Mill, who
has been canvassing this part Of the State
for that mill and for the purpose of build
ing up the reputation of that mill, has been
circulating slanderous and false reports
IN regard to the one manufactured by US
We have no objection to honorable compe
tition, but when a man descends so low as
to give u,terancc to base and false asser-
tons for the purpose of iujuring us in bus
mess, we feel it our duty to expose him TO
the public and vindicate the truth.
As an example of this agents capacity
for lying, we will give one of many instan-
ces: At Paynesviile lie told that We had
sold two mills at Richmsnd, and that the
parties to whom we had sold were SO much
dissatisfied that they had given their or
lers for the Minneapolis Mill and would
Take their chances for disposing Of ours.
The above was false and from the whole
cloth.
in view Of this unscrupulous and unfair
method of competition, We hereby chal
enge G. F. Griswold to q fair and honora
BILE trial Of the two mills, the trial to taxi
place at some point upon which we may
mutually agree:
