Thursday afternoon, nominations on
two party tickets, the Red and Blue,

which they had to sell patent medicines, decided
to form a cooperative company and manufacture
line of remedies for which they could stand al

Old fine "CurI Up" Skates.

Few of the present generation of
skaters ever saw pair of old fash.
Toned curl up" skates or know what
they are, but if they are native born
their parents or grandparents can
probably tell them about these old
time appliances for Swimming over
the ice. The boys and girls of today
have quick fastening, light and hand
some skates, and in many cases keep
them attached to shoes that are used
only for skating and are put on at the
pond side.
In the old days straps for the"curl
ups were unknown, leather thongs
or stout strings being used with
sort of harness to keep the skates
on the feet. The term curl up''comes
from the manner in which the for
ward ends of the skate irons were cuFl-
ed, extending over the toe of the foot.
Aoubtlass many Of the old folks can
remember when the cheapest skates
consisted only of wood bottom for
the foot and strip of metal for an
Ice surface. These were "cheap'in-
