George is without doubt one of the
best known knights of the grip and
looks as well today as he did twenty
years ago. He does not work SO hard
cities, where he used to work 165. He
spends half of his time at his home in
Whitehall, Mich. He told us last week
that there was no town on his route
that he hated to give up like MARSHALL
town, for he had so many dear friends
in our city.
Carroll b. Johnston. of this city, who
last week took. a position with the
Burrows Adding Machine Company, of
Cedar Rapids, expects TO start on the
road in short time. Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnston expect to move to Cedar
Rapids in the near future. but they
will soon find there is no place like
Marshalltown. We all wish Carroll
good luck in his new undertaking.
L. L. Putzel, who has represented
the Marshall Oil Company so many
years, and has been on the sick list
so far this year, is fast recovering and
| is now able to look after the local
trade. 1t is the hope of his many
friends that he may be again able TO
resume his work on the road.
j. NJ McNeal of Cedar Rapids, sales
man for the Cedar Rapids Candy
Company, was in Marshalltown one
/ day last week on his way home. j. NJ.
is on the sick list and was ordered to
go home at once and remain there UNI
til he got perfectly well. Mr.. McNeal
has surely had his share of trouble in
the past few years.

with the Northern Lumber Company of
the same city. was covering his west
ern Iowa territory last week F. w

the road.
We are all sorry to lose Walter
Scott from the road, az ne was one
of the model knights of the grip but
we wish him the good luck he deserves
Sin the coal BUSINESSES. Lee Derby, who
has taken his territory for the Clark
!. Coal and Coke Company. is one OF
Marshalltown's brightest young men,
and we know every one out of our city
will give him lift whenever they can
as he is deserving of every ones
friendship.

ing his first trip over the Rock Islar
for the International Salt Company,
Chicago, last week. Mr.. Wise is we
\ pleased with his success in Iowa.
I could not help but notice the di
ference in the editorial in the T-R.
Wednesday and the one in the Ced
Rapids Republican of last Tuesda
The T.-R. spoke nicely of mother
day, while the Republican, spoke snee
ingly of the day. cit said in part: e
we lived in Marshalltown we shou
refuse to indulge in such a display
- is all too professional and too perfun
tory. 1t looks like vulgarization of Il
hottest of sentiments. The love and r
membrance in which a man ought
hold his mother is too delicate and t
sacred to be Haunted in such way.
To one who visits Cedar Rapids oft
1t does look as if they needed som
thing more than mothers day-a go
cleaning up day, and think they W
surely get it when the Rev. Billy Su
day arrives In their city about Oct
