The result of the first salesday for
butter in this city Monday was sue
cess and ought to give those, and es-
pecially the creamery men. who are
backing it up, every encouragement
for it's continuance. The fact that
more butter was offered here than
at the first day of the Minneapolis
dairy board, Notwithstanding that
their day was most extensively adver-
tised, is good indication of the
adaptiVeness of our location for that
purpose, while the fact the butter
actually sold better here than in
Minneapolis, is another good point
won. This new move ought to re-
ceive the hearty encouragement of
our business men and every induce
ment ought to be put forward to at
tract buyers here on those days. AS
soon as it becomes generally known
that large amount of first class
