In Memoriam.
In loving remembrance of our infant son, Marvin, who departed this life one year ago, March 18, 1930.
When evening shades are falling and we are sitting all alone,
In our hearts there comes a feeling if you only could come home.
You shall never be forgotten; never shall your memory fade.
Sweetest thoughts will always linger 'round the grave where you are laid.

Sadly missed by parents. Mr. and Mrs. Eldo Schutte.

Card of Thanks.
We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Postville fire department for their prompt and efficient work last Wednesday night when the building in which wer were doing business was threatened with destruction by fire, and also do we wish to thank the public for their assistance in removing our stock from the building and saving us from suffering a still greater loss. Fred W. Groth
