business for the display of his %upholstel

Odo Reder will build a new and pc
manent planning mill in Custer this ia

not need to be informed of hat gentle
mans ability, and as he is in the lectur
field it seems strange that an effort ha
not been made to persuade him to CON
up and address us. It would be a rar
treat and worth many times the ex
pense which would be attached to it.
