fair. Following is the agreement the com
panies signed:

We hereby agree that during the season o.
1891 we Will abstain from exhibiting at any or
at all state fairs, at any other exhibitions of
similar nature, and that we will not during this
season furnish our agents with printed matter
TO circulate at their county fairs in case they
decide to exhibit at their own Expense.

the same thing.

Wagon and Machine company, said he was
