An Aurora, III., Record
From P. J. Goodwin, General Agent
We have read with a good deal of inter¬ est Mr. Hughes' letter in the June issue of The Harvester World regarding the record of one of his canvassers whereby he sold §2,361 of goods in one week. This certainly is good and we are pleased to see that our neighbors are doing so well.
However, in last week's report coming to us we find that our F. J. Anderson sold the following goods: Three grain binders, eleven mowers, two hay rakes, one tedder, one hay loader, two side delivery rakes, one 20-horse power traction engine, two wagons, making in dollars and cents §2,929.
Perry Dakin also sold the following: Three grain binders, four mowers, one side delivery rake, one 2S-horse power traction engine, one spreader, three cream harvest¬ ers, making a total of §2,868.50.
We have another canvasser who sold |2,47S worth of goods, and still another who sold §2,057.50. We had five other can¬ vassers whose sales in dollars and cents ran over the §1,000 mark. We do not believe these records are bad.
We have not time at this writing to even think of a story to suit the occasion, but we hope that our neighbors can show as good a record in the near future.
A Milwaukee. Wis.. Record
From T. N. Funston, General Agent
We notice in your last issue of Thb Harvester World a letter from Mr. Hughes, of Peoria, which shows he has a salesman on his force who is capable of doing things. We have noticed quite a number of these reports but none of them have come close enough to our J. H. Wolfe to make us take notice until Mr. Hughes got in with his report of sales made by O. Heffler.
For the week ending July 2, our J. H. Wolfe's report shows the following ma¬ chines sold: Five grain binders, two mowers, one 24x32 Belle City thresher with truck and blower, one 6-roll McCormick busker and shredder, one corn binder, one 10-inoh feed grinder, two A2 Belle City cutters, one 12-horse power portable en¬ gine, one IS-horse power portable engine, one 20-horse power tractor engine type C.
The retail price for these machines amounted to §4,490, which entitles Mr. Wolfe to credit amounting to 41 binder equivalents. By this you will seo that we have a Wisconsin Wolfe that will be hard to catch.
We have three other men that are run¬ ning about §2,000 for the same week. If any of the other fellows on the force think they can catch our Wolfe, turn them loose.

A Compliment
"I wonder what the teacher meant about the singing of my two daughters?"
"What did he say?"
"He said that Mamie's voice was good, but Maude's was better still."
