From Streator Siftings Dec. 1, 1894
Kangley is on the boom. Several
new stores and dwellings are being built
and the farmers are erecting grain ele-
vator planned by H. H. Carr & Co., of
Chicago. The farmers propose ship
ping their grain direct to this firm, thus
realizing the best prices the market at
fords
This movement which means such a
vast Improvement in the condition of
the farmer, was begun in 1891. 1t re-
ceived the immediate commentator of
the press; as we'll as the hearty sup

farmers organizations.
Editorial in Grange News July 20, "a
Our friend H. H. Carr is giving posi-
tive and universal satisfaction to all
who are patronizing him, and their
name is legion. All agree that this new
system of direct dealing is
saving money in four ways: First, in
grading; second, in weights; third, in
commissions; fourth, in better prices;
making in all handsome profit over the
old method of feeding the open mouths,
all along the line from the granary to
the pot. We have not heard single
complaint, but have heard scores of
satisfactory endorsements. Friend Carr
is a square man, and will look carefully
after every interest placed in his hands.
He is perfecting a dump and elevator
that can be set up by grange cheaply
at their station, which will transfer the
load of grain from the wagon to the car
with all the ease of the corporation ele-

All we ask is for each grange to give
him trial. We will be responsible for
the result. Direct trade is foundation
principle of the order.
We hope that every one of our read
ers will become interested in trying to
secure the erection of one of these lit

| switch. One of these houses at place
where there is only side track will

prises which will give them a town
and greatly enhance the value of sur
