day, Friday and Saturday was the topic
of comment among many of our citizens,
the name of the firm being left out III
order that the people might have a
chance to guess who the firm was that
took on this burdensome obligation. The
conditions were that the party who cilt
out the article and presented it at the

result was the Barre Drug Co. had nearly
five hundred copies of this article cut out
and handed in for tho prize, which they
received with great deal of enthusi-

terest demonstrated in this little bit of
guesswork is appreciated and from time
