If you will take the pains to figure what the flour would cost you when you exchange wheat, for it you will see why we can do so. When wheat is worth 57 cents per bushel flour would cost you $1.50 per hundred. Remember we are giving 38 pounds of flour for a bushel of good wheat and guarantee the flour to be good. ■ Cash for wheat at all times. Retail price of flour $1.75. D. Gensinger, Teegarden, Ind.
