Western Boot Company, Local
Concern. Has Rapid Growth
A machine that turns out l r
| 000 patches in eight or ten hours
| time, is the marvel conceived by
| J. A. Youngs o f this city who op
erates the machine in his shop
on Mountain avenue known as
“ The Western Boot Shop.”
Mr. Youngs, with Tits wife,
covered the territory of the west
ern states and even the middle
east in connection with his work
with the manufacturing houses
for tires and cord patches for a
number of years. With the years
a change came about, tires
changed, baloon tires came into
vogue, and the machine was made
to fit the necessity of progress.
20THTENTURY MOVES
M a ke* H o m e H e re .
About five years ago, Mr.
Youngs, his wife and two young
daughters, came to Ashland to
make their home£ According to
Mr. Youngs, thq^ had traveled
all over the United States and
had thought Akhland the one

age and it became necessary to

mediately their thoughts turned
to Ashland, “ and here we have
been for five years,” said Mr.
Youngs, and I trust maybe for
many more. “ We like Ashland,
and the shop is increasing in
business rapidly.”

His business is growing so fast
and work is becoming so heavy
that he may be forced to expand
his manufacturing plant in the

that Mr. Youngs employs in his
re-manufacturing plant.
About six months ago Mr.
Youngs made a business trip to
San Francisco where a nationally
known tire and rubber company
noticed his articles and recently
wrote for information regarding
prices, etc. This shows that Mr.
Youngs work is graining recogni
tion for quality.

in hi{ lecture at the local Con
gregational church
Thursday
evening, given in this city in
connection with the “ world wide
peace movement,” sponsored by
different organizations through
out the country.
Dr. Wirt is secretary and or
ganizer o f the council for pre
vention o f war with headquarters
at San Francisco, and during his
btirtil g address at the local
church last nig’it outlined the
obiect m d nature of the state
organization which has its head
quarters in the Stock Exchange
building in Portland.
Dr. W'irt
stated that with the present con
ditions prevailing in Europe, a

abilities within the next ten
years unless the American people
were prepared to prevent it.
However, once started, America
will almost be forced into the
fray.
Dr. Wirt recently returned
from Los Anegels where he spoke
before 50 different high schools
and various organizations, in re
gard to the promoting of the
peace movement.
A local council was organized
with H. B. Carter named as presi
dent.
Dr. W’ irt spoke before the
southern Oregon normal student
body this morning and appeared
on the program at the local Ki-
