Higher Prices For Threshing.

wish TO say to whom it may con.
Germ that under the seeming neglect
fuluess of our Congress, pronteering
has continued until the prices of
everything we buy, 10 the line of
machinery especially, has gone sky
ward. For example, threshing
machine cost $500 four years ago,
now $1,000. An engine line belt that
cost $50 four years ago now costS$225.
Other things have risen in proper
ton. and wages are high.
For these reasons l am forced to
slightly raise my prices for threshing
and will charge as follows:
Wheat SC bushel, Rye &C, Oats &c.
These are the going prices over the
prairie at this time. but l will give
per cent discount for cash within 80
days.
