Certain hogs Grated as express ant
awaiting the arrival Of the trair
brought q curious crowd about then
on the depot platform the other day
The price Of those hogs was given or
tag on each crate and ran from SITE
to $500. One youthful porker was
starting life at SITS. They were Mar
shall county hogs being shipped here
and there to improve the breeds in less
favored counties. Perhaps it was the
first glimpse many Of those who stared
had of the fact that Marshall county
breeds and sells hogs equal to any in
, the wOrld.S4s The SITS hog did not rep.
resent the top price of Marshall county
breeding stock, not by several rows of
hundred dollar bills.

shall county and Marshalltown are
wOefully deficient in knowledge of Mar
shall cOunty's prominence in livestock
as, they are Of the big industries that
call Marshalltown home. Marshalltown
is known around the world by it's man
ufactures. They, some of them, go in
to every civilized and most of the I'M
