traveling salesmen for national selling

do a national business, that the sales
men are bidding first for this state.
They see the prospects for booming busi

where tipies are good and the people
are industrious and progressing. That
condition is a bit of cold-blooded boost

and. W. D. Yorke.
The directors of organization met
Friday and with the officers outlined
p ans for the company. The first step
by the company will be the purchase of
a lot for the home of the organization-
A committee was appointed at the
meeting of the directors to secure the

A number of prominent business men
of the city and quite a number of
farmers of the county are members of
the organization that organized the
creamery company. Creameries have
paid in other sections of the State, it
is pointed out by the officers, and there

purchase them, therwlse a lot will be
secured and a new bv/lding erected.
