There is but three weeks to do the
bulk OF the hustling in; it must be
done right now. We never wait for
dog days to cut prices, we cut now
when you need the goods and we have
chance to sell. After season goods
are high at any price, because you
don't want them. The Grand Leader
j. G. johnson, the expert butter
maker, informs us that the new Elk
horn Creamery is now in operation,
everything being new and up to date.
He has not moved yet, but expects to

will now have chance to see how
good he can make butter, as his APP
planes are all the best.
