Cresco, and Elkader, and are
now negotiating for engagements at
the West Union fair and at the Lakes.

The next time travelling peddler
calls at your door and tries to sell you
goods, ask him if he will take your
butter, eggs and other products; ask
him if when your neighbors get ready
to build bridge over the slough, he
would willingly donate q few dollars to
help it along. Tell him there is poor
family down the road, would he donate
a little money to buy provisions? Ask
him if he will contribute to a new en-
terprise just starting. Your home mer-
chant will do all this and much more.
