 $10.00 cash with order. A new press would cost 

 you $25.00.

Special Notice by A. I. Root 



OFF TO FLORIDA A.S SOON AS OHIO VOTES DRY. 



First and foremost, if you are a voter, for heav- 

 en's sake, and for the sake of unborn generations, 

 " get busy," and be sure your vote goes in on the 

 right side. And even tho (I am sorry to say) the 

 good mothers and wives can not vote jtist yet, thev 

 can wield a mighty influence if they choose; so, all 

 of you just get busy when you see this printed page. 

 Mrs. Root and I are planning to start on election 

 day, after my vote is in ; and when I am down in 

 my Florida home in Bradentown write me just as 

 many letters as you cnoose, and just as long; but if 

 you want an answi-r please do inclose an addressed 

 postal card. I think I can manage to give you each 

 and all prompt answers if you will not ask me to 

 answer more than I can easily crowd on a postal. 

 Of course I am happy over the brilliant prospects 

 now opening uj) day by day, not only for a dry Ohio 

 but for temperance, "peace, and good will" thruout 

 the whole -wl'Je world. 



Your old friend, 



Oct. 18, 1918. A. I. Root.
