Show EGG MERCHANT. An affable gentleman, a member of an extensive wholesale boot and shoe firm of Chicago, well and favorable known by our merchants, was recently traveling and camping for pleasure in some of the northern valleys, and by common consent became the commissary of the outfit. In seeking supplies, especially in Bear Lake county, he frequently enquired at the stores for eggs, when he was invariably asked "How much are you giving for eggs, sir?" He was mistaken for a traveling egg merchant-"an egg middle man." |
