urday where he has accepted a position
as buttermaker. Elmer is q first class
buttermaker and has had charge of the
factory here for the past three years

We a heartily recommend him to the
patrons Of the Webster creamery as a
careful and painstahing workman. He
will be sorely missed IN the social cir

lite among the young people. But all
will unite in wishing him good luck -
