LINCOLN CREAMERY BUTTER
Ridgeway Creamery Gets High Com
pliment From Commission
House.

The following letter was received
by o. o. Rue, secretary of the Lin
coin Creamery at Ridgeway, and
speaks highly of the excellent grade
of butter made by that well known
buttermaker, ]. H. Bakken, who had
been the efficient butternaker at the
Lincoln creamery for twelve years,
His work in the butter line speaks
for itself, and has always stood
high test. The letter follows:
Jan. 6, 1922.
o. o. Rue, Sec,
Lincoln Creamery,
Ridgeway, Iowa.
Dear SIR
We are starting in new year
and | feel that ] want to write you
and thank you for the very nice
business that we have had from you
every week this year. | want to
compliment you also on the fact, that
you have been turning out mighty
good grade of butter, much better
grade than a good many of the
creameries where the conditions are
about the same, as John has certain
ly done great work.
You know this year has been a
year when the quality has counted
more than usual, and ] know of
creameries in the state that have lo
several thousand Of dollars because
they were not able to produce better
quality.
We have had a steady place for
your butter owing to the fact, that
it was good and certainly hope that
when your annual meeting comes off
that the creamery will go on this
year with the same set of officers
and the same butter maker they have
had for so long time.
/ am going to New York sometime
this week and will have an opportun-
ity to see your butter right there
on the market and compare it with
the others and will do this and let
you hear from me after | get back.
We are having wonderful winter.
Butter seems inclined to be a little
lower due to the large amount of
foreign butter that is coming to this
country so it is going to be very
important for every creamery to
keep their quality up where it be-
longs. A difference of two or three
points in the score would make a
difference of several thousand dollars
year. | am writing this because
] feel that | want you to know
how important it is to have good
quality and also want you to know
that you have been doing splendid
work during this past year.
Yours very truly,
HOWARD ID. REYNOLDS,
Mason City, Iowa.

held $4,000 and the shorts awoke to

Curb Market

New York. July 26.-Trading on
the curb exchange today started
higher, but before the end of the
first hour, the market deveIoped an
irregular tendency and with the ex-
ception of a few specialties, lower

some of the low priced mining is
sues was noticeable.

at 10TH after its close Tuesday at
lO7B, but substantially reacted to
1868 before support was brought
forward. International Petroleum
was actively sold below 2O1h and

q loss of half point from the open

practically neglected. Skelly Oil

New England Fuel and Ryan Con-
