Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 74, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 March 1910 — Thornton’s Dairy Cows Brought Good Prices. [ARTICLE]

Thornton’s Dairy Cows Brought Good Prices.

The dairy cows sold at public side by M. J. Thornton, the milkman, last Saturday, all brought good prices. Thirteen cows and four calves and heifers were disposed of. The sale totaled SB2B, the cows bringing an average of $57.80 each. The highest price brought was $75, the lowest $42. Five cows sold above S7O per head. The cows were purchased by both town and country people, many bidding high prices through fear that they would be unable to secure milk in the fftture. Their fears were groundless, however, as Spencer Bros., of Wolcott, have leased the place formerly occupied by Thornton and have purchased hiß outfit and will begin delivering milk Friday. 1 A full line of bulk garden seeds, onion sets and seed potatoes at John Eger’s.
