At Utley's business is rather quiet just now,
but better times are looked for every day.
Mr. E. Moeller is in the same boat and so is
Mr. C. Baecher in G. F. Hedge & Son. Of the
new firms, Messrs. Cullis & Devine and Mr.

from his trip to Denver, and he was looking
hale and hearty, and good humoredly remarked
that " business was rushing, and the factory is
a year behind on orders,'' and then he winked
the other eye. He says, however, that business

trade will go to the other extreme and in a
measure even up matters.
