Here it is: He is the floorwalker at the Style Shop. Marvin Sogard and Edward Judge find it cheaper to live in Gilbert than finance the weekly trips; so it is due to their enterprising natures that the little town has a shoe shine parlor.

By a series of grafting, Victor now picks a crop of apple pics and dumplings oft! his trees at Mitchell villc, and “Tubby” Kooscr is the inspector and sampler. “Tubby” finds his occupation exceptionally satisfying.

Nevin limes is in a state of mental doubt. He doesn't know which line of work lie should take up—that of a clown or an undertaker. B. Where’s lua Reins? W. Ina marries “Stub” Watkins in 1923. Her wedding is one of the most extraordinary events on the social calendar of Ames. The bride is gowned in a creation designed by Helen McDowell, modiste employed by Seal's, Roebuck Co. Mrs. Vera Barker Rumpscy is matron of honor. I see Imogenc Dean,, Elsie Elliot, Jessie Bourland, Neva Scott and Elizabeth Bateman as bridesmaids. Anna Lindauer carries the ring in a buttercup.
