Thos. Brady, the local agent of the
Cargill Elevator Co., to
the people of Langdon and vicinity
that he has again on sale at his eleva-
tor a full line Of the very best field
seeds handled here. He asks an in
spection both of the samples of seed
and his prices, as he is able to quote
the best on either large or small
quantities. The seeds come direct
from the Minneapolis Seed Co., a con-
cern in the Twin Cities which in years
past have built up a large business by
handling only the very best seeds at a
reasonable price. Samples are here
