say to you who have signed the pledge
that it is no fault of ours that we
aren't going to be able to put an
agent in the field TO handle your

men enough behind the movement to

ready to ship will not have to hold
his stock more than week for the
load to be made up. Now, friends,

told that some have refused to sign
because We haden't stated what 1t
would cost to ship. Will answer by
saying that if we cannot get better
terms than we already have, We will
be sure not to make any trade. Some
refuse to sign because we have not
