Cadillac Elected!!!

No matter who is elected President today there is
not the slightest doubt but that the Cadillac has landed
first place by an overwhelming majority of the votes
of all the automobile enthusiasts in the whole country.
The factory, the car, and the splendid service
organization of the Cadillac dealers thru out the United
States all combined to make this result a forgone
conclusion.

of the people down u way have their
threshing done, and they are more
thar pleased. We have been busily
engaged for some time in drying our
seed corn, and we have secured some
very fine seed. 7 don't think the corn
yield is as good this year as last,
and this may be accounted for by the
very wet weather, as well as by the
frost which did not permit the kernels
to mature as they should have done,
still, / don't think we have anything
to complain of. Had the weather
been all right for corn l think the
yield in that grain would ave been
something grand. We are very much
pleased, though, to say that we have
such good seed corn as we are get
