guards with "Pillsbury's Best" bound
for Buffalo, N. Y, and other eastern
points This train was more than a

By this system of transportation the
mill and: the consumer are brought

that ultimately the expensive storage

as soon from the mill as by buying
from the Buffalo warehouses. In adj

rather to release him from liability,
