A cork shrinker was donated to the Marion County Historical Museum at Marion this week by Robert Freeland of Burns. It came from Freeland Brothers Veterinary Hospital in Marion where it was used in bottling various animal medicines. Mr. Freeland also sent along an interesting framed "Rink Livery" sign of the 1880s, proclaiming it to be a "First Class Horse Hotel."

Another fine business improvement in Marion is the recently opened new medical offices of Drs. T.C. Ensey and G.J. Goodsheller. The building is located just south of the intersection of Cedar Street and East Main. The entire building, formerly the home of the late Carlos Stebbins, was completely rebuilt and re-designed on both interior and exterior.

Marion County farmers are completing a record wheat harvest week — a decided record at least in yield of bushels per acre. A roundup of opinion over the county Wednesday morning placed the average at somewhere between 30 and 40 bushels.

An ad from El Dorado in this week's RECORD has said "Thank You" to all who helped in the terrific job of cleaning up after their tornado.
