there are veryfew things on this
earth better than a Missouri

wish to sell. If you desire to
sell your farm let me know it. |
will make it my business, spend
time and money to find you a
buyer. II | succeed, will charge
you a reasonable commission.
II | fail it will cost you nothing.
Call to see me when you are in
town, or write to me and ! will
send a blank to be filed out Civ

of your farm. Respectfully,
