HELENA, June 4.-May records
shattered April figures in the number
OF brands recorded at the Office OF Sec.
retary Raymond of the state DO ard of
stock commissioners. Three hundred
and twenty brands we're recorded last
month, two more than the total for
April, which was the high mark of the
Office since it was establised years ago.
During the first four days of June
eighty brands were recorded, and If
the record is continued during the
month June will take Mays record.
The reason for this great increase in
Montana brands when so many of the
big outfits have gone out of business,
is found in the tremendous influx Of
settlers.
