If you have anything to sell or trade, or if you wis!: to buy
goods cheaper than ever before, then make it a point to be in
Pierz on SATURDAY, APRIL 2. There will be buyers here
from many outside points and if tliey find it worth while more
wili come next time.
The management is doing all in their power to makePierz the
best market in this section for the farmers' products and if the
farmers will cooperate as they have done so far, there is no
doubt but what tney will succeed.
There is a movement under foot to add new features to the
market day program such as athletic contests, ottering of prizes, etc., and arrangements will probably be made to have the
services of the cornet band.
