Notice is hereby given to our esteemed customers as [well as to the members of the
Farmers Union in general that the management of our business at Fredericksburg has
been transferred to Mr. AUG. P. HAHN.
Mr. J. J. Lewis, the former manager has no longer any connection with our business.
Mr. Tom Schmidt, the former manager of our branch house at Cain City, is no lon-
ger employed by our firm. Mr. V. Gates Striegler is employed as manager of the Cain
City Branch of our firm.
In connection with this change in the management we combine a change in the
system whereby we endeavor to promote the interest of the farmer in the sale and pur-
chase of his commodities.
