a splendid business aud enjoys q repu'

line of mixed paints. Having yards
at Millsap and all principal points
west of Fort Worth, these gentlemen
can suit the trade as to location as well
as quality or quantity, and compete
favorably with any western market as
TO price. Prompt and courteous atten
ton is one of the characteristics of this
well-known firm, and to know and
deal with them once is but
to admire and deal with them again.
Full of zeal backed by capital, we be-
speak for them success in their every
undertaking.

Cohiltree is president and Sam IL.
MiIliken treasurer, with capital
stock of $4,000. This mill runs -four
burrs day and night, making three

the elevator is five stories high, an,
is situated Immediately upon the side

mills, doing good work.
After we note so many staunch busi

going up, both business houses an
residences nearing completion, wit
the contracts now being let for schoo

certainly can claim for Weatherford
boom upon rock-bottom foundation.
