The picture of the Slawson Brothers outfit was taken in the fall of 1876. The late Mr. Loton Horton was at the time a foreman and canvasser, having just been promoted. Mr. I.A. Van Bomel remembers well all the faces in the picture and he has prepared the following memorandum relative to each man shown.

Left to right, seated: Orson W. Horton, Charles Cox, I.A. Van Bomel, Charles B.Carpenter, and Emmett Stoddard. The little boy between Emmett Stoddard and Charles R. Carpenter is G.I.
