T. ThieSen and family from Langdon
We're out here TO attend the wedding of
c. Spensl Mir. ThieSen made quite big

flaming mill peddlers are to be seen
every day driving around through the
country selling their mills. and from
what can be learned they are finding
quite few buyers among farmers who
have no mill with which to clean nm
