TO THE PUBLIC.

In order to supply the sand
contracted for delivery to st.
Gertrude's Convent and to
avoid delays in loading, we, the
undersigned have taken over the
Martzen sand pit for a period up
to January LIST, 1921. We will
operate the same, will have men
there in charge and anyone
wanting good sand at a reason
able figure, can have same by
calling us up the day before, so
we can have it ready.
Before entering the field, you
will find a gate. which will open
at 7 a. m. and close at 6 p. m.
and any entrance before or after
these hours is forbidden. We
also caution the people to be
careful when approaching sand
bin. as we must use more or less
dynamite and will give signals
before firing any shots.
We will charge $3.50 per yard
for the sand itself and $1.00 per
yard for delivering it into the
bin, total of $3.50 per yard and
expect everybody to prepare for
settlement at above basis at the
office of our company.
We do the shooting, drilling
and all the hard work. All you
have to do is place your truck or
wagon under the bin and in one
minute you are ready to leave.
We must pay for the sand, the
powder, the gasoline and labor
and furnish all the tools and can
not allow any reduction, what
ever, from the prices set.
When sending a team, be sure
to notify us or send an order
signed by you, as we would
otherwise be compelled to refuse
loading. Contractors must give
us the names of all parties haul
ing for them, so there is no ques-
ton to put up when presenting
bills for payment.
