your oysters, sub. Taste like home,
don't they? You never before found
one north of Masons and Dixon's
line that made your mouth water like
these Sealshipt oysters, did you?
They're the real thing, sub. They
have the genuine salt water tang that
makes people who have lived near the
coast just homesick to get back where
the oysters grow. Yet I've opened
them right on the beach where they
were unloading them and they weren't
bit fresher or more luscious than
these.
Give you my word as a gentleman,
sub, | can't believe these Sealshipt
oysters are bulk oysters. They taste
OF the shell. I come here almost
every day to get oysters with the sea

The suicide of John G. Lund at
Minneapolis last Wednesday has at
tracted state wide attention. Lund
began his career as real estate
hustler at Candy, and since his re-
moval has been doing a wholesale
business in that line all oyer the
Northwest and in Canada. He was
only 40 years old, and while the rash
act is not ascribed to financial trou-
BILE, the circumstances suggest that
possibly he has been going too swift
a pace in his business. His wife's
death last year and the troubles
of his brother Oscar in connec-
ton with a $500 check, together
with bad health following an opera
ton for appendicitis, are given as
contributory causes for the rash act.
