Successful at DeS MOineS.

Messrs. Huber & Petersen scored a
big success at the Des Moines State
Fair with their metal corn crib. They
took orders for several, aggregating
about 81, 500, and the morning after
their return home received an order
accompanied by $l65 check for
another crib. Moreover, their crib, in
competition with others on the ground,
was q center of attraction, and Messrs.
Huber & Petersen, together with M.
]. Macarthur and V. Baatz, assisted
for half day by C. u. Nichols, talked
and handed out circulars to 1000 inter-
ested farmers from all over Iowa,
thereby advertising the cribs and
Cresco in most thorough and effect
i've manner. The sales effected on the
grounds will be but small part of the
good to accrue to the firm and to Cres-
CO in future sales.
The boys are already planning on a
bigger and better display at Des Moines
year hence, and for their enterprise
in heralding abroad that Cresco is on
the manufacturing map, should have
the hearty support of our business men
and farmers in establishing this new
Cresco enterprise.

has of late been working his interests
back to the state of Maine, and it is
hoped that he may be present to enjoy
many more pleasant reunions OF the

welcomed was George w. Libby and

In existence. Mr.. Libby took q promi-
nent part in the Confederate army dur
ing the war, but as he remarked when
called upon, there is now. no north and
south, but one country. and to prove his
statement he said that he had present
with him that day, his little grandson
whose other grandfather had fought as
earnestly in the Northern army as he
had in the Southern
