Rensselaer Republican, Volume 27, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 July 1896 — The Bonds Are Re-Sold. [ARTICLE]

The Bonds Are Re-Sold.

The County Commissioners succeeded last Friday in disposing of the new court house bonds to good advantage. They were sold to Trowbridge A Co., of Chicago, through W. B. Austin, for $15,700 premiumThis is $1,200 less than the snide bid of B. M. Seitz, who bid them off at the original sale, but it is a pretty good premium, after all. Especially is this the case considering how much the money market has been disturbed by tho free silver agitation. The next best bid that could be secured at this last sale was SII,OOO. This was by Hays A Co., who bid $16,555, at the original sale. The Osborne self-dump hay rake, pattern of ‘96, is the simplest, strongest, most durable,' easiest handled rake on the market. See sample machine, on Front St. near McDonald’s poultry store.
