Richards Trades Threshing Outfit for Moon Auto
A. D. Richards exchanged his Russel threshing outfit for a new $2200 Moon automobile. The Richards family, wealthy farmers, consider the best car in the market a fitting standard. Henry Franzen of Titanka saved two cows from bloat. Dr Ball treated them. Henry Gray’s cow recovered from a bad case. Henry Breckner leaves for Colorado to settle, leaving painting and decorating duties to continue with Martin Jordan on 160 acres of land. He will be paid a salary to manage the ranch.
