Members and friends are invited 'X to attend. „ The Tri-County Produce Company is the name of a new business concern which opened in the Mat Weber building on Riverside Drive Wednesday morning and which will provide a new and handy market for the farmers in this vicinity, X"! The proprietors of7 the business, Peter W. Frett, and his son, Edward, have been operating a receiving sta tion for produce at Sauk City, Wis., for the past year, where they now employ five men and have two trucks on the road. They handle from 200 to 300 cases of eggs a week and approximately two tons of poultry a week, besides all of the othpr produce which the fanners supply. The branch which has been opened in McHenry this week will be a handy market for local farmers who may dispose of their poultry, calves, butter, eggs and anything that they wish to sell right here without any of the trouble of shipping or finding a desirable market. Mr. Frett states that he will buy everything that the farmers have to sell and can use all that they can supply. In additfbn to being an advantage for the farmers this will also be a benefit to McHenry as it will bring hundreds of farmers into town who will make other purchases while" here and put more money into circulation *n AHNOtJKCEMKMTf" After urgent requests I have <fe cided to be an independent candidate for the office of Mayor of the city of McHenry, subject to the wishes of the voters at the coming election, Tuesday, April 21, 1931. It is my desire to have the citizens of McHenry understand that I am not pledged to *ny particular person, group or party, but wish to be considered independently of any faction, if such exists. If elected to this office it will be with the ambition to work and act for the general welfare of the municipality and to promote such movements as will result in a bigger and better McHenry. Whatever funds are expended, if will be done in the iterests of the taxpayers, and as a business man would act for the good of bis own business. Appreciative of any consideration the voters extend to me at the polls, I am # n v Very sincerly, ' A. E. NYE. - ORCHESTRA WILL GO TO SPRINGFIELD Surprise Party "A party of relatives surprised Tony Blake Sunday evening in honor of his birthday anniversary and presented 'him with a gift as a menfento of the' occasion. Five hundred was" played during the evening and prizes were won by Mrs. Leo Blake, Tony Freund, lbs. Joe Blake, Mat Blake, Mrs. Tony Freund and Peter Blake. Refreshments were served at the close of the evening. Those present were Messrs. and Mesdames Leo Blake, Mat Blake, Peter -Blake, Joe Blake, W^ll Blake, Eteank Blake and Tony Freund?, The produce business will also be an asset for the local meat market proprietors who may buy their supplies here with convenience and economy in making purchases. According to present plans the veal and poultry will be. dresesed at the local receiving station and as the business increases no doubt more Tielp will be employed. The produce is sold at Waukegan and Chicago, where a regular business has been established during the past year. Although Mcltenry has seen little of Mr. Frett since he sold his grocery and market on Main street last May, we find that he has been a very busy man, having established this flourishing business in less than a year's time, living up to his old characteristics of" energy and progressive ness. No doubt, the farmers will welcome a market of this kind in their immediate vicinity as will also the business men of the city, and its success is hoped for.
