WITH KLAGGE AT MT. CLEMENS 



.\iiy readers of The Review who do 

 not already know Robert Klagge, ol 

 Mount Clemens, Mich., may become ac 

 quainted to some extent with him antl 

 his enterprises by means of the four 

 pictures here ]iresented, and the inan\ 

 readers who already know hiiu will bi 

 ;:lad to renew the ac(juaintance by see 

 ing in these pages the "counterfeit 

 presentment"' of him and some of his 

 possessions. 



^fr. Klagge 's portrait tells its owi^ 

 story both (dearly and pleasingly. Th( 

 otluM" three illustrations give different 

 views of his planted fudds. In one 

 picture his two daughters are seen., 

 though not nearlv as distinctlv as
