BUSINESS BITS. 
The Chicago House Wrecking Co., of 
35 th and Iron Sts., Chicago, has pur¬ 
chased the buildings complete of the Pan- 
American Exposition, Buffalo, N. Y. It is 
understood that the purchase price was 
$132,000. The buildings will, of course, all 
be dismantled and removed from the 
grounds, and the above company will dis¬ 
pose of the material through their mail 
order business. 
It may seem incredible that a good time¬ 
piece can be bought for the small sum of 
$J. The Ingersoll dollar watch is now 
famous in Europe as well as America. 
Two million of these watches were pur¬ 
chased during the past Summer by an 
English house. A handsome and interest¬ 
ing catalogue may oe had free by address¬ 
ing R. H. Ingersoll & Bro.. Department 
£30, 67 Cortlandt St., New t'ork. 
The Home Correspondence School has 
prepared a very careful, conscientious and 
thorough course on all phases of the great 
farm Industry. The head of the school is 
Prof. W. P. Brooks, of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College. This fact alone 
speaks volumes for the stability and high 
character of the instruction offered. A 
thorough course is taught by mail. A por¬ 
tion of the spare moments and long even¬ 
ings devoted to this study, will gain the 
knowledge to enable you to get from the 
farm those profits whicn have been going 
to waste. The Home Correspondence 
School of Springfield, Mass., will send 
catalogue and a pamphlet, “Money in 
Farming,’’ with other valuable points, free. 
We feel sure it will pay you to send for 
them.
