Corl Peterson, Waupaca, Wis.
Dear Sir As some time ago /

swer TO my 'ad in the Scandina-
Wan, 1 viii with pleasure answer
the same.
Thereason l waited for some
time is that there has been other
answers to the 'ad.' AS many as
30 have been received and IT has
been impossible to answer all. /
have picked out the most respect
able. and have decided that
yours is such.
First L will tell you that / am
Norwegian and have been in this
country for 20 years. / live In In
diana, about SO miles from Chicago
and one mile north OF La Porte.
am the sole owner OF nice home,
pretty location.
There are 75 acres of land. also
all kinds OF crops. improved land.
apples, plums and currants. ] am
on boulevard road and have
Broom house, practically new. a
windmill and all modern improve
ments. situated in a beautiful SUI
burb OF Chicago. worth about s15,-
600.
All OF this is pretty near paid

alone with three small children,
from TO III years old. The small
est Is little boy. The two largest
are girls, all frislSy and we'll
lnQf m husband nv aTNfdanf five
years ago. and have since tried to
get along as well as / could with
what help i could hire. / am get
ting tired of this and I have
found that IL Is not well to trust
others with so much.
Ii Is too much for me to look
after things, and things are not as
/ want them, anyway My idea of
them Is to take a partner to whom
can trust everything. and as we
have no acquaintance ourselves,
] have decided that every applicant
l have considered favorabiy must
make a satisfactory deposit OF cash
or security. J think that Is the
erafters who are always looking
for such opportunities, as I have
had experience with them, as can
prove.
Now II you think that you are
able In some way to put up $1,000
cash vie can talk matter matters ever
worth while TO consider? would
not care for you as a hired man,
as l am tired OF that. and need a
little rest in my home and near my
children. / Will close for this time.
With friendly regards
MRS. p. g. GUINNESS.
