The New Year of 1910.

Has come and is going like the speed of an automobile, with the fine March weather and with prosperity prices of hogs and horses and of course the hens are doing their duty a little better now, but still hen fruit is well up in price. Now, just think of one coming to the city of Rensselaer and buying a fine rubber tired buggy for what you would have to pay for five 200 pound hogs and a guaranteed job at that. Not as good as others, but better than the best. You can find this kind of work at C. A. Roberts’ buggy store on Front street, Rensselaer, Ind. P. S. I have a small line of high class single harness to sell while you are in for a buggy, and I have several valuable articles that are worth your time inquiring about.
