Had I been bie to consummate my plan I aliould have shown vitli the utmost accuracy t'ae growth of this business and It founders, from the little beginning cf twenty year ago on to tbe last shipment. But 1 could tot pet at tbe files of llie Jper Dr. Hunter used to flit, end Mr. Aby's Meteor has an hiatus in Its files, from lbs to this year.

Just How I cant top to sustain this assertion but by one Mr. J. W.

And how tunny acres in fruits and vegetables?

It Is so to endeavor as to 1 simply im oinpuiabie.

Indeed, to engraft a much larger business npon theirs would be lietier than St irling a new establishment, for the reputa'ioti of the firm would at once secure purchasers, and they know their ens-t mers. Thus a prodigious enterprise would crown this bustling town and greatly swell the tide of its prosperity. Perhaps no l-iter test of the great repute of this firm's goods could given than the fact that ortrs to purchase are already in f-om Jobbing houses in St.

The worm that bores into the tomato Is a pest. too. In wet weather, when the Acme cracks badlv, Livingston's lteauty is shipped.
