Neubert Company
Does Big Business

Free Press stated that while most
every line of business is feeling the
great depression in business, the poul :
try business has suffered but little
from the tight money market, and un-
settled condition of the country. He
attributes this to the fact that all
farm journals, and agricultural ex-
perts agree that poultry is one of the
most profitable branches of farm in
dustry. Feed is very low now, only
about one fifth the price it was year
ago, while eggs and market poultry
is very high, and there is no danger
of over production as in corn and
other products of the farm. The mar
ket price of one dozen eggs at the
present time is equal in price to two
bushels of corn. Mr.. Neubert says
that little over one bushel of corn
will feed one hen an entire year.
The r. F. Neubert company invent
ed the incubators it puts out, and also
an oat sprouter, which sprouts the
grain in five days, making the best
of green feed for winter egg produc
tion. Another invention OF the com
pany Is an anti freezing water, foun-
tain for poultry, all of these inyen-
tions are in great demand.
With the firm of r. F. Neubert &
company has been merged the bust
ness of Mankato Incubator company
and Larkin & Harzberg.
The r. +. Neubert company Is Of
ficered as follows: r. F Neubert, pre-
sident and general manager; Frank
H Miller, vice president; Otto Brock
meyer, secretary and treasurer and
manager of the poultry department
The Mankato free press., 1921-12-30

Members of the r. F. Neubert COM
pany of this city has long ago, come tn
the conclusion that the raising of the
little red hen pays the owner big re-
turns. This is evidenced by the fact
that the firm, which deals in poultry,
eggs for Matching, incubators, brood :
ers, etc., last year did sIZ0,800 worth
of business. During the same period
the firm used 200 papers in adver-
tising, and sent out $4,000 catalogues
to all parts of the United States, Ca
NADIA and Mexico, and even some to
foreign countries. During the busiest
seasons OF the year the firm receives
and answers in the neighborhood OF
200 letters a day. The incubators ana
brooders are manufactured by the
firm in this city, and find ready mar
ket in all parts of this country Cana
da, and parts of Mexico.
Mr. Neubert says that he receives
orders for chickens and eggs from
most humble in life to the most veal
thy. 1t was not long ago that he re-
ceived an order from John ID. Rocka
feller for several settings of Matching
eggs for his poultry ranch at his
country home.
There are thirty five persons EN-
ployed by the firm, and the annual
pay roll amounts to $500 per year.
During the busy season OF the year
the factory, farm and office ship about
five large truck loads Of express daily
in addition to several dray loads of
freight, and hundreds of articles by

Wife Is Broken Up.
Winnebago, Mimi, December 2S.-
Mrs. w. L. McDonough, wife of the

her husband had admitted the crime
in Minneapolis, and also that he had
a prison record in Iowa.

It is believed McDonough told his

Shows Some Remorse
Minneapolis, December 2S.-Earl
Slater was silent prisoner In the
Hennepin county Jail last night. To
JaNer James Merrick he. made only
one comment on the murder.
"Guess my wife and Kids didn't have

case of Slater is perhaps unequalled
in the history of crime in Minnesota.
Deputy Macbeth Talks.
Deputy Sheriff John Macbeth in a
statement to The Free Press this
morning gave an account OF the activi-
ties of the local officers in the man
hunt which closed Tuesday morning
in Blue Earth when Slater was ar
rested.
Saturday morning at two o'clock
Deputy Macbeth phoned to Sheriff
Brown of Hennepin county that there
was not question but that the crime
was committed by mau from Fair
mont and vicinity and that he had
much evidence to that effect. The To-
cal deputy called Sheriff Carver at
Fairmont and that official with his
deputies made several trips checking
up on various persons who nigh,
of the case down there. Deputy Mac
beth was not in possession OF the
name Of the slayer, he said, but he
had a we'll grounded belief that the
residence of the man was in that part
of the state and was working on that
theory for several days.
Probably no man hunt in years had
been carried on with the same relent-
lessness as that shown in the Slater
case. Sheriff Brown Of Hennepin
county was not out Of his office to
sleep from the time ne learned of the
murder until the killer was arrested.
Chief Phil Landmark of the Mankato
police was up all hours Of the day and
night during the chase and was at all
times accessible on the phone for
transmission of information and fol-
lowing up clues. Mr.. Macbeth said
today that his days have all run to-
gether since Friday. He has also been
a day and night follower of clues.
Traffic Officer Henry Kachelmyer,
whose tin was the direct clue which
led to the actual arrest by Deputy
Macbeth and Deputy Mcclure, spent
two strenuous days in the successful
chase. The hunt was spectacular in
many instances and was successful
largely because of the unremitting
watchfulness of all officers Of the law
in the state.
The report that Frank L. Kelley was
deputy sheriff under Sheriff Anton
Osten is erroneous. He never held
any such position.
Sheriff Brown Of Henuepin county
informed The Free Press that never
before had he received such hearty
cooperation from officials in running
down a person charged with crime
as that which has been given him by
those in Mankato and Blue Earth
county.
