Local Wool Buyers Report
Large Purchases.
A GOOD MARKET FOR IT
Another June Bride. Items Of Every
Nature Reported from Metropolis
of West Grant.

local wool buyers, j. B. Ludden
and r. M. Donnelly, report having
purchased $4,000 pounds of the
fieecy raw material for the city
market. This is probably larger
business than can be shown by any
other town in the county. 1t IL

business men when they get up in
dust and hustle for business. These
purchases, while they may not
have been productive of direct pro-
fit, brought trade to the village
which otherwise would have gone
else where. A town must furnish a
market for farm produce, or else
lose much trade. To a great ex-
tent the people of town make it
what it is-make or break it every
time.
