WOMAN HOG BUYER

Des Mcines la. May 5. Mrs. +. Fl.
Ellsworth, of Nashua. Ia Is probably
the only woman hog buyer in America.
1t is not I. new venture. She has been
in the business for two years. She
ships tho stock TO the Chicago market,
keeping informed on prices by news
papers and special dispatches. She has
both OF the telephones in her home. and
does most of her buying by phone. 1t
IS not an uncommon thing for rack
of hogs TO drive up before her attrac-
tive residence for her inspection. She
has become SO proficient in buying that
she can judge the weight of a hog
within a pound or two by looking at It.
Mrs. Ellsworth really drirted into the
hog business Farmers at Ionia would
cali her up over one telephone to ask
her the price Of hogs in Nashua, and
the farmers about Nashua would call
up to find ont what was being paid for
hogs In Ionia, towns on different rail-
roads. about Ia miles apart. So farm
ers commenced to say she sold their
hogs She became interested and fin
ally ven.ured buying a load. She was
successful and from that beginning
has grown a comfortable little Income.
