said Of Catalogue house stuff, but a
farmer over in Dane county owes his
life to pair of catalogue house pants.
While elevating corn into a crib his
pants caught in the machinery, and
had it not been for the fact that the
goods were poor and tore readily he
would have been killed. He escaped
with broken leg, but there is a fea-
ture of advertising in this which cata.

big trees usually being chosen as
anchorages and the total clear span
being thus more like eight yards than
five.
The main cables or framework OF

strands of thick yellow web, and are
