Southern lumberman was of very

business along the Illinois Central is
second in Importance to none, while
the Southern lumbermen have come
to position of honor in the business

How Butchers Advertised In 1917

When butcher in any of the pub
lie markets became possessed of an
exceptionally fine beef or a number of
sheep, he would parade them through
the principal streets, preceded by a
band of music and followed by the fell
low butchers of his market, the cor
tege being arrested before the home of
the customers of the butcher, when it
was expected of the occupants to step
out and give an order for such part of
the animal paraded as they elected.
Our enterprising market man, Walter
Magee, doesn't need to so parade his
wares, for every one knows he keeps
the choicest beef and meats obtain
able, and makes a square deal-good
meat in exchange for good money.
Send in your orders and you will be
convinced that Walter Magee is high
grade business man.
