Business Notes and Advertisements.
Business in Platteville the last two
weeks has been fairly good. Upon
inquiry of many of our business men
we are led to believe that it is better
than it was at this time year ago.
Just now, of course, there is no great
rush on the streets, for the farmers
realize that it is late spring and that
every hour is worth dollars to them.
When they want to buy anything they
come in and get it and then go right
out again. Talk about business being
dull here. 1t is no duller here than it
it is anywhere else. Go to our hotels,
