Dear Uncle Jed: The slave trade was
carried onaprincipally by England. En-
gIish vessels went to Africa and brought
slaves to America. The slaves were
treated very badly on the vessels. often
being chained together in the hold of
the ship. They received just enough
food to keep them alive.
After being brought to America they
had to work hard, some in the fields
and some in the houses. They Were
bought and sold like merchandise after
being separated and the members sold
to different masters never seeing each
other again. Some of the masters
treated the slaves kind but many Were
very cruel to the Negroes, Furnishing
them in different fashions. The slaves
lived in little huts on the plantations,
far from the masters house. They
were continually watched by a man
called the oyerseer.

PAPER
TOUSE WRENCH
AS A PREMIUM

Tie wrench company held an adj
journed meeting Monday night of
the stockholders. Interesting subjects
were talked over regarding the
wrench company and A. G. Allan re-
ported that he has closed a deal with
the Chicago Herald & Examiner, one
of the large papers and one of the
A. r. Hearst publications, to use the

8 inch wrench as soon as the wrench
company can assure their delivery.
Mr., Allan, the president of the COM
pany, not only talked with the Chi
cago Herald & Examiner but other
publications in Chicago and closed
deals with several of them. The S.
Blake Willsden Co. Of Chicago have
been promoting premiums. for thirty

large manufacturers and they want
to take on the promotion of the Kant
Slip wrench manufactured in Bara-
boo as soon as possible. Mr. Allan al
so states that he calico on some of
the largest jobbers in Chicago last
week and sold everyone he called on.
This company has quite a number of
orders pending now and is preparing
to take care of a large volume of bus
mess in the near future.
The stockholders agreed on a plan
that is believed will work out sue
cessfully in selling the z per cent
accumulative preferred stock. Some
of the stockholders after making a
thorough investigation have. agreed
to put more money into the company
to take care of the rapidly growing
business. Now is the time when
Baraboo people should be interested
in supporting. a manufacturing insti-'
tuition that is making good. The
wrench factory extends a cordial in
vitation to anyone to go through their
factory and ascertain for themselves
the progress the company is making.
