ardson's Bank has shipped 1900 tons;
South Park, 1000 tons and small
shipments from other banks, 500

There are entirely too many CANNES
running at large in this burg. We
would like to see the committee on

corner in the sausage market. We
are of the opinion that Crested Butte
needs a cleaning now just as Irwin
did so long ago and at the present
price of sausage-well, it's a sure
thing there would be a reduction in
price.
