terests of our depositors Very truly yours McCook National Bank P Walsh President Reason for Delay The delay in delivery of special re quest envelopes to patrons of this office said Postmaster Kimmell is caused by a change in government contract for this work and from the further fact that the last congress ordered everything in freightable lots withdrawn from the mails during tho period of weighing fTnlv 1 1907 to January 1 1908 Un der this order these envelopes were shipped by freight which has proved impracticable and has been abandoned and they are now being sent by register ed mail as heretofore and orders will be filled promptly in the future When you realize that the contractors must tarn out four millions of stamped en velopes and newspaper wrappers daily some little delay in orders can be excus ed I would however urgently request all regular users of Btamped envelopes u nlace their orders three or four weeks easier than usual to avoid inconvenience to themselves All requisition from this time on will be filled without un necessary delay Cattle Sale Public sale of Short Horn cattle at Cambridge Neb October 23 1907 A C Shallenberger and Thomas Andrews will sell
