I groceries or merchandise. AS usual
lrule the merchant will pay you from a
half cent to one cent higher for your
/ butter than the market price, and
most of the butter he buys is sent
away to the refineries to be renovated
Now where does the merchant make
This profit? 1t stands to reason that
1.-THE merchant is not going to lose
money to accommodate his trade. He
does not, for when you sell him butter
he usually makes you take it out in
! trade, and if you are a close follower
of the market I think you will find
that the extra cent is tackled on the
goods that you get in return. OF
course if you can get more for your
:! butter at the store you probably had
better sell it there. But think you
VIII find, taking it all the year around
that you will profit by taking your
milk to the creamery. I understand
that you have creamery about to
open, in this city, in fact I think it
1 opened this morning: 4 am ac-
quainted with the men who are going
/ to run OF. One of them is practical
tbuttermaker and the other is bust
ness man from st. Paul; both excel
lent men. Give this business a
chance. 1t will do more to build up
i the country surrounding than any.

chance, try it and 5 think you will
find my statement correct. 5
presume you are all getting tired.
I had lot in mind that wanted to
speak of when started but have for
lgotten what / wanted to ay. have
talked at random and presume / have
not covered my points in the way they
should have been, but if any of you
have any questions to ask I shall be
/ pleased to answer them to the best Of
Imy abality. It is getting late and
tsome of you are probably tired of
hearing me talk 1t reminds me of a
Istory. 1t seems that it was the
custom that when the young men
fcalled on their girls it was customary
! for them to hold the girls on their
Flaps. A very frail young man went to
Ecall on a girl that weighed about 200
pounds and Of coure the young lady
seated herself in his lap After she
had been sitting there about two hours
she asked him of he was tired. The
young man replied, No 1 am not tired
now, was tired about two hours ago
IL am paralized now, and it may be
that some of you feel like the young
man did. 5$ 45f5s
