sale of hogs is something that will
make any farmer smile and Guy Gil

Thursday of last week handed him
their check in payment for Cd hogs for

firm shipped two cars Of hogs to Chi
cago and on Tuesday evening they
shipped 3 cars of cattle to Sioux City.
| This is five cars all sold in less than
one week, which fact testifes to the
popularity the firm enjoys as buyers.
