F. NJ. Collier, business man Of Ring

here last night en- route home from

where he went on a purchasing trip
to the markets. His family accom-

that business in the cities is not as
brisk as II was at one time but still
much goods are being handled and
business is in rather a healthful con-
dition. It does not require as much
money 10 operate now as formerly
as a car OF wheat or corn does not
represent so much money as at one
time and neither does q car OF mer-
chandise represent so much money.
