Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 54, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1910 — CHANGE IN LOCAL BOARD OF TRADE. [ARTICLE]

CHANGE IN LOCAL BOARD OF TRADE.

We received two circular letters yesterday morning from Chicago stating that the writer, E. W. Wagner, had lately opened up a "board of trade” office in Rensselaer, in the post office bdilding, with G. W. Goff manager, and soliciting our business. The letter states that 36 new accounts were opened Hast week, which would lead one to infer that the crop of suckers in Rensselaer are as easy as ever. . As the Democrat man has no use for great wealth acquired through this get-rich-quick meth-, od, Mr. Wagner has wasted a few cents in sending these letters to us. Mr. Goff has, been local manager of the “board of trade” while under the management of Eugene Purtelle and his successor, the Swashbuckler Co., and it is presumed that Wagner now succeeds the latter.
