it would appear that it is very profitable to these gentlemen to brinr in

CHAMBER OF GREED.
The kenton Iron and Seel Company were caught between TIN o s and

Again that slogan comes in. 1t is great.

For the last month the watera and light company have kept very still

N doibt this monopoly is working beneath the surface in ark AM mvs-
terous ways 1t behooves our city council to be continually ~ hair
