Mr Petrie St Cathrines

Dear Sir we are loading our last car load of potatoes, which will be something like four hundred bags. These are extraordinary fine solid white stock. If you want them at one Dollar and five cent per bag on car at St Cathrines let us know by Saturday night. Most of these will be left in bags weighted to ninty lbs each, and the empty bags could be shipped back. Yours Truly Dyment Bros. Jerseyville. Ont.
