this post. Some time later, Mr.. APP
pleman, in company with Mr.. E. A.
thinner, made a trip to Ohio and
saw the posts In actual use. He also
visited several of the factories now
making the post and came back thor.
oughly convinced of the high merits
of the post.
This post is reinforced with three
steel rods tied together at short in
tervals with steel plates as shown In
the accompanying cut. This method
is acknowledged by engineers to be
the strongest known. The Staple post
is so-called because it is the only
cement post In the world to which
a wire fence can be stapled fast the
same as wood, although it contains
not a particle of wood or anything
that can rot or burn.
Mr.. Appleman in bringing this
business to Plymouth is giving the
city an industry which is attracting
attention everywhere that fences arc
used. The farmers of northern Indi-
ana will now be able to buy a post
that is not only everlasting and beau
tiful. but that is within the reach
of all in price.

To the Voters of Stafford County:
have been connected with the
clerks office OF your county for a
period OF AZ years last May 1t takes
almost a life time to make a good
clerk, 1t being the only office In
the gift OF the people Of the county
that takes years of training to
make perfect. IL the people get one
they approve OF they should retain
him. If he don't meet the require
ments of the office, the sooner they
get rid OF him the better.
In my administration OF the office
have known no party sect or creed,
but have tried TO serve all. AS to
my personal political convictions. a
man is not half a man, who has
none, and IL influenced by others
he becomes nothing but a creature.
|, therefore, yield mine to no one.
The experience l have had for al
most a half century | think fits
me as no other person to fill the
office to the satisfaction OF the
whole people.
| hope | have not sounded my
own praises too highly. but have
stated what | believe to be facts.
ask you to give this matter due
consideration and vote for me for
your clerk at the next November
election.
Respectfully.
