but those who were back of it have
had little difficulty in interesting a
large number of our prominent farm
ers in purchasing stock in the con-
cern, and before summer enough stock
had been sold to insure its being a
go. Farmers believe that it is neces-
sary to have two or more elevators in
the community in order that they may
receive the highest prices for their
grain. and of course they are right in
this belief.
The new company was incorporated
and under the articles of their incor-
poration they may branch out into
other lines besides buying and selling
of grain.

business, having been connected with
the Menagh mills in Denison for a

most satisfactory manner. He is
ably assisted at the elevator by Mr..
