would like to receive 1900 lbs. a week
Of good butter from your vicinity after

will put a man on the freight train, say
Monday merniug, who will start from
Manchester or Dorset. receive the
butter from the several farmers and
pay what is due, and do this at every
station until he reaches Arlington or
Bennington. arrangements to be made
with the railroad for this butter to
connect at Chatham with the Harlem
Railroad the same day, arriving 10
New York on Tuesday, also for free
