It is n well known fact that there
is no one instituttion in the com
munity Ilia has met with greater
favor with Hie public than this well
known establishment.
This is the day und age when the
public demands not only magnan
imous service, but best in quality
at a reasonable price. Thoroughly

nothing to rot, nothing to rust, and
nothing to decay.
There is probably no other com
munity of this size in the country
that is better equipped in this re
spect, for this well known and pop
ular concern has provided modern
and scientific tile and concrete pipe
equipment.
As the world’s greatest authori
ties have approved the recent in
ventions in all kinds of equipment
the have been immediately adopted
bv this company, and this, coupled
with the maintainance here of one
of the most modern and up-to-date
lants in this section, is responsi-
le for Ihe very satisfactory service
rendered patrons over the country
and for the feet that every patron
of the concern is also a loyal sup
porter and a consistent booster for
it.
S
Nor has the management and as
sociates in the company been satis
fied with merely providing for the
immediate needs of the people of the
section. With a broad vision of the
future they have made improve
ments with the view to a greater
expansion of their service and have
been most loyal supporters in the
movement for a “Greater Home
Community.”
In conclusion, however, we wish
to state that the manager and as
sistants have taken a commendable
interesl in all propositions that fur
ther public improvements and that
they have been willing and anxious
to aid in the growth and expansion
of the community at all times.
Therefore, it has merited the popu

ceived and we predict for it the con
tinuance of its steady and prosper
ous growth.
