with commercial men how they are
Going to keep their expenses down TO
compare with former years. IRAN
service is so poor on most roads, II we
wish to make our trade as formerly. IL
necessitates a great many team trips
and we find number of livery men
have raised on their price, owing, they
claim, to the high price of feed. Hotels
are doing their best to get little more
out of the commercial men by charging
for sample rooms. And it is claimed
that hotels in Wisconsin have raised
their rates so cents per day. Every
thing seems to be on the advance but
travelling mems salaries.

vited all the travelling men of Mar
shalltown and visiting travelling men
to visit their plants ON Saturday, oe--

pie living in Marshalltown realize the
number of factories and the help that
is employed here, and it is an oppor-
tunity that should not be missed by
those who can possibly attend.
