An Open Letter. Pocahontas, Iowa, Sept. 6, 716. ‘Dear Friends and Patrona: I have sold the creamery to Mr. George Siebels of Palmer, and take this occasion to thank my many friends and patrons for their splen did loyalty to the creamery. We have been in Pocahontas eight years, and during that time have formed many lasting friend ships._ It is with a great deal of re gret that I give up the creamery end of my business, but an over load of business and not very good health, compel me to shift, part of the load to someone else. I expect to remain here in the poultry and egg business, and feel sure that the creamery will be operated in a very efficient manner by Mr. Siebels, who has had years of experience as a butter maker and creamery man. He will devote all of his time to the work, and with his past record as a creamery man and his natural bus iness ability, will build up the creamery business and promote the dairy industry generally. Talso wish to thank the business men and citizens of the town of Po cahontas for their hearty support during these years of building up a creamery business out of nothing. I am proud to be a citizen of the best town in the beat county located in the best state in the only nation on the face of the earth that is fit to live in. : J. A. CROWTHER. What is the beat preparedness again at sickness and disease?
