In another column appears the dividend
notice of the Atkinson House Furnishing
Company, which must be gratifying to
those interested. The Atkinson Com

Laws to do General House Furnishing
business, and now operates ten Stores In
the State, doing business of nearly 81,
900 900 per yeir. Their Stockholders
number over 400. This is the 9TH regular
semi annual dividend paid since the com.
pany organized. Surely with such invest
ments in cur midst, 1t is unnecessary for
investors to seek either mortgages or
other securities In the far west or south.
A ten per cent, annual dividend aud
knowledge that the capital invested is
not only growing but absolutely safe.
must be productive of contented mind
to the Atkinson Co. stockholders.
