 K Dunn- is afiisf-llass grower. He 



was for some years foreman for J. A. 

 Budlong and later for Hoerber Bros. 



Phil Schupp says that the J. A, Bud- 

 long establishment has no reason to 

 complain of the business done in the 

 last half of September, though the first 

 half was dull. • • .
