The travelling men who were FORUM
ate enough to attend the merchants
paid for the time spent. It was one of
the finest gatherings Of Marshalltown
business men ever brought together at
any one time. The good that will sure
ly come from it will be great. The boys
were well pleased with the remarks
of our brother, L. j. Jarrett. Mar
shalltown today is a picture simply
beautiful with her well kept streets
and lawns, and her beautiful shade
trees. We have every thing to make
an ideal home for commercial men. No
excuse for a traveller not owning a
home in one of the finest cities in
Iowa. Remember we can show you
how to get a home by paying just a lit
tie more than the rent would be. My
attention was called to party in the
employ of Mr.. Henry Pappe, clothier of
our city, who four years ago entered
into contract with Mr.. Pappe to buy
small home by paying SIS month.
Next month he will make. the last pay
ment. taking just four years and two
months to have home of his own.
Surely what one can do others can,
by little effort.
