LOCATION AND SHIPPING FACILITIES 
We are located in Southwest Iowa, tifty miles from Omaha, on well drained 
land, and have a fertile soil that cannot be surpassed in the United States. 
Three railroads (C, B. & Q., Wabash and K. & W.) afford competition in freight 
rates and a rapid and convenient shipping outlet in every direction. Two express 
companies (Adams and Pacific) also give excellent service.

Shipping — Please give shipping directions, whether by freight or express; 
also route. If no directions are given, we will forward to the best of our judg- 
ment, without assuming responsibility, as all goods travel at purchaser's risk 
and expense. All freight shipments released to the value of $5.00 or $3.00 per 
cwt., according to classification governing unless otherwise instructed. Our 
shipping season usually begins the last of September and continues through- 
out the winter.
