Harrison from their son, Edward, who in company with Roy Wolkos of Milwaukee, is touring the west: Longmont, Colo., July 18, 1920. Dear Folks--Seeing today is Sunday and we got back from our trip in the hills, as the people call the mountains out here, I will try and write a few lines. I will tell you a little of our trip and what we are doing out here in the west. We had a very nice trip. Left Chicago about 10:30 a. m. Monday Had a fine trip thru Illinois and Iowa. Everything looked about the same as it did at home. We changed cars at midnight at Omaha, then we slept a little, but it was soon day light. By that time we had a nice start thru Nebraska. The crops looked pretty good, some of the grain being in the shock, and they were busy cutting, but after we had passed Grand Island, Neb., the crops and land didn't look so good, but as we grot nearer the mountains and Denver, Colo., where they irrigate the crops things looked better. We had to wait in Denver one hour for a train to Longmont, which proved a nice trip along the mountains, and saw some nice scenery. We arrived in Longmont about 7:30 Tuesday evening. Louis Whiting was there to meet us. We had to wait a little while for it to slack up raining Before night we started out. They had a nice thunder storm and shower, but Louie didn't get any where he lives. They say it never rains on the flat near the mountains, but it has rained every day since we got here in the mountains, but none at Louis' farm. We spent one day hoofing around. Went to Longmont and spent one day fishing. Caught a few sun fish, which we had for supper on Thursday. Friday we. went to work and worked a half a day. Saturday we worked on a school house. We get $5.00 a day for eight houss. We go to work at eight and get thru at 4:30, which gives us plenty of time for visiting. We board at Louis.' Today was the best of all. We went up in the hills. There isn't any use of me trying to tell you what they look like, as it is impossible, because the sights are the most beautiful I ever saw. We took our dinner along in the car and kodaks to take pictures and camped away up in the mountains, but no where near the top. Roy, Gerald and I thought we could climb well. We did and every time we would get on top of one hill there would still be one higher, so we had to give it up and went back for dinner, which surely tasted good. I think we will go trout fishing next Sunday and camp up in the mountains over night. That will be nice. I am going to see what I can while I am here and I wouldn't take twice what the trip cost me already not to take it. There is plenty of work, but they don't pay any more than they do around there. I have a chance to go as separator man with a threshing machine, but don't know as I will accept, as they don't pay enough for the hours one puts in. We are working for a nice man now. We meet people from all over the U. S. With love to all, Edward. SOLON MILLS Black Cat hosiery at Erickson's. Leonard Anderson spent part of last week in Chicago.
