publication he does not remember
what. He had visited all of the river
towns, then the largest places in the
state, and several of the principal
points in the interior. He had mada
up his mind he did not like Iowa, for
so many of the places he visited We're
too mach like the bleak prairie. When
he struck Marshalltown he found treas
shrubbery and flowers, pretty lawns
and everything bright and green in it's
spring freshness. He thought it was
the prettiest place he had ever seen.
The first three young men he met
were billy" Doolttlc, who was running
a grocery store on South Third aven-
ne. George Wiligrod, who lived with
his parents in what is now the Iug
property, corner of Third avenue and
Linn: and Frank Stewart, whose par
ents then ran what is now the MUIR
ply house. and with whom Mr.. Deuel.
engaged board. He did not expect to
stay after finishing his canvass of the
town but changed his mind and has
been here ever since.
In the fall of 1878 Mr. Deuel. secured
the agency for the Chicago Daily News,
and that was the beginning of his
news business. In the spring of the
following year he established his news
depot. which he has run continuously.
Shortly after Garfield was shot, July
g 1881, he took charge of the city cir
culation of the Daily Times Republic

sheet with patent insides." and the
circulation in town was 420. DEUEL.

1t to 700.

periences and when luck seemed against
him, he never deeried his town. He
has never knocked" and never intends
to. He is for Marshalltown first, last
and all the time

.CEREsOTA" is HERE
The Best Flour Made is ceresota-
Henry Weber Is Wholesale Jobber
-Grocers Are suppIied-The "Mon-
ey Back" Guaranty.

There is one brand of -four that you
can buy at any metropolitan estab-
lishment In the United States. That
brand is "Ceresota" Why? Because
it is the best flour made. Because 1t
never changes quality. The mill that
grinds it turns out 10000 barrels every
day. 1t is handicapped from the
best wheat 1t is guaranteed by the
great Northwestern Consolidated Mill
ing Company of Minneapolis. MINI.
The mills guarantee it to Henry Web
er, the wholesale jobber for a central
Iowa territory sixty miles square.
Weber says to the grocer: If you
customer isn't satisfied give the money
back" That's the kind of a guaranty
that is behind each and every sack of
Ceresota.
Ask your grocer for it. Try Ceresota
and decide for yourself. If you have
never used Ceresota flour you may
wonder why SO many housekeepers pre-
fer it to any ether brand No doub1
some people buy the first time to sat
isfy their curiosity-just to see II the
Hour is as good as its reputation-but
the millions who buy again and again
have a better reason than that. A
good baker knows good flour when she
bakes it. and while she may try a new
brand because others recommend it,
she will not continue it's use unless the
VI. t,r, ma, M ar
by the flour itself.
Marshalltown grocers carry Ceresota
Weber retails it at his stores at 80
North Center street and SOP South
Center street. Money back is the
best guaranty as Ceresota is the best
flour Try one sack.

Gentlemen: Mr.. pres
ident of the cotton mill at Union, S. C.
he don't want to see his name in
print-had two offers of 500 gallons
Of paint: $1.30 and s1.25. Took the
$1.25 and got skinned. He'd have got
three-quarters skinned if he'd taken
the other.
The $1.30 was full gallon; the S1.25
was Is per cent short. The full-meas-
ure paint was adulterated 40 per cent;
the short measure paint was adulterat-
ed 45 per cent, besides benzine in the
oil. don't know how much
Devoe lead-and-zinc wasn't sold in
the town then.
1t don't pay to monkey with paint
Devoe costs less than any of 'em
