We suggest to the Melrose Mills
the propriety of sending to Louis
eyille and placing on exhibition there
full lire of samples OF her goods.
The products of the Mill cannot be

should not be missed to show them

gest to our wagon mandatory that
it would show a commendable de-
gree Of enterprise to place at the Elk
position some article OF your own
make. Very few places in this broad
land possess more skill than Russell

display some of it at Louisville, the
forthcoming Worlds Fair.
