Messrs. Whitehead 4 Seaman are ready to
supply newspaper men OF this section with
envelopes of all kinds. about as cheap as they
can buy them at St. Louis or Chicago. They

at such figures as to command the trade OF
Central and Western Kansas. Should they EN-.
bark in this business they will undoubtedly do
a large trade II will greatly benefit Western
lie w.paper men to have stationery depot so
near home.
