No Reason Why Not

their big 5 ton truck loaded with
splendid Grown and Capitol flour
and excellent feed. THIS is the
only mill selling IN such quanti-

the best, their salesman, Mr..
Pieratt, the most obliging, and
further, this Mt. Sterling mill is
the only one that would help on
the first bridge ever build in Pow

while other mills, then selling
ten times as much flour in Clay

we're not now going to. We be-
lieve all they say and more too.
President Harding is now plead.
