The Griggs County Courier says: The
Implement dealers in session at Fargo
last week resoluted against the Irvine
manufactured by the state at Bismarck,
which they call "twine trust" but no
mention is made of the machinery trust,
of course. Wouldn't that jar you? If
the Irvine manufactured by the convicts
at the p%enitentiary is the product of a
trust, what in the world is the Irvine sold
by the implement dealers, if it is not
made by a trust-at several cents per
pound higher than you can buy it at
Bismarck. The Irvine manufactured at
Bismarck is a tirst-class article and will
compare very favorably with the Irvine
shipped in from the outside. The plant
is not controlled by any trust, but is
worked by the convicts at the penitenti
AIRY to furnish them employment. Our
farmers should buy the home manufac
tured Irvine if it is satisfactory and thus
Ielp out the state as we'll As themselves.
