COMMERCIAL RANK.

AS one of the strongest financial insti-
tutions south of the river. dating its
existence from 1884, that has been of
untold advantage in aiding the develop
ment of both city and county, the Com
mercial Bank stands pre-eminent. With
an advantageous location, and owning
its own business hOuse-erected at a
cost of SIG, ,0O0-which is provided with
all modern safeguards for the preserva-
ton of its valuables, and elegantly
fitted up, no similar institution is better
prepared for large and lucrative
patronage. With capital of $75, 900,
and a surplus of $4,000, the bank S
scope of usefulness is practically unlim-
tied; and with the Union National, of
Kansas City; St. Louis National, and
National Bank of Commerce. New
York, easy and quick exchange is OBJ
tainable to customers. In receiving
deposits, making collections, loans and
issuing exchange, every facility is
afforded by its officers and directors.
This bank also carries the county funds,
and under the efficient management of
Robert Taubman as president, and j.
II. MOOrehead as cashier, has had a
career of financial success, since its
incorporation, that is alike gratifying tC
its stockholders and creditable to the
! business sagacity of its sterling officials

wINKLER FURNITURE co.

As one of the prominent manufac-
turing concerns Of central Missouri, the
Winkler Furniture Company, of this
city, has attained wide celebrity for
their products throughout this and
adjacent states. The business of this
firm was begun in 1857 by Henry w.
and John F. +. Winkler, on q small
scale, but owing to a rapidly increasing
trade larger quarters became necessary
and in 1870 their present factory was
built, affording employment for thirty
workmen. Among the line of goods
manufactured are coffins, caskets,
(either in wood or metal,) school and
church seats, mantels in oak, cherry
and walnut-from $500 upwards,
stair rail work, newell posts, portico
columns, scroll work, and furniture in
every variety of design. Their whole
sale and retail warerooms are located
on the corner of Tenth street and
Franklin avenue, where may be found
everything needed for furnishing the
home, store, or office, at prices far
below those obtainable in larger cities.
Both partners have two sons each, who
are associated in this business, and by
their youth and energy are important
factors in the firms success. As under
takers and embalmers no one is as well
qualified for these labors as the firm
whose name forms the caption of this
sketch, and the presence of an institu'
ton like this adds greatly to Lexing
TONS manufacturing interests.

sANDRING 4 BULLARD.

In December, 1898, Messrs. A Sand
ring and A. b. Bullard bought out the
photograph business of 4. ID. Saunders,
who for nearly forty years was en-
gagged in this business. Under the
management of Mr.. Bullard, who is
known to all our citizens, having been
born in this city, and engaged for
nineteen years in all branches of the
Photographic art, the firms success has
been remarkably rapid. These art
parlOrs are located in the Meyer block,
and consist of elegant reception rooms,
operating room and finishing rooms
provided with all the most modern
devices for doing high grade of work.
Every branch of the business, such as
pastels, India ink, crayons, views and
photographs find representatives on the
walls of the firms studio, and in ex-
preston, pose and fineness of work,
are unsurpassed. Such finely ap-
pointed studio is seldom met with in
cities of this size, and it is gratifying
to know that a well deserved patronage
has been accorded Messrs. Bullard and
Sandring since their assuming its
ownership. To all our readers we
would say, that while in health, have
your pictures taken by these artists,
thus securing to yourself and friends

Every community has its examples

example, worthy of emulation, Is
afforded by glimpse of the career of
Gus. Haerle, Esq, who, having lived
in this community nearly all his life, is

years Mr.. Haerle has been entirely

forded one of the finest tielfe ~
development Of a prosperous a -
ishing financial system, that -
exponent in the creation and gf0U<1'ok
the Lexington Savings Bank, that
began its existence in 1869. With
capital stock of $4,000 and surplus
OF SIC, 900, ample funds are always on
hand to meet every requirement OF
trade, while its responsibility is un-
questioned, owing TO the high financial
standing OF its officers and stockhold-
ers. The bank building is Of elegant
design and was erected NJ cost OF
$4,000, being provided with every
modern protection, and tasty in its in
terror appointments. With the La
Clede and Continental National, of st.
LOUIS; National Park Bank, of New
York; National Bank of Commerce,
Midland National and Citizens
National, of Kansas City, Missouri, as
correspondents, exchange is quickly
effected for patrons. The president,
John w. Waddell, is a son Of one of
this county's pioneers, and bis name
alone after so successful life spent in
this community, stamps tins institution
with financial success. As vice-presi-
dent, w. ID. Rankin, needs no intro
duction to our citizens, he being one of
the largest property owners and at the
same time one of the most prosperous
men in the state; while with +. Chans-
lor as cashier, who has been con-
nected with this bank for fourteen

A time honored and well equipped
drugstore, that is one of the oldest in
Central Missouri, having been estab-
lished by its present proprietor as far
back as 1857, deserves n more than pass
ing notice in chr0nicling the business
industries of Lexington. With the
exception of fifteen months Mr.. Tevis
has done business at the same stand,
and his present large store that is
eighteen by 100 feet Is owned by him.
having been erected in 1856 and de-
signed for this special business. A
native of this state, Mr.. Tevis has been
closely identified with its interests, as
we'll as those of this city, and his long
experience as pharmacist renders him
unusually prominent. For number Of
years he was the c0unty's assessor and
discharged the duties of his Office with
satisfaction to all. AS a careful COM

Lexington has no one who is more
capable or painstaking. For full lines
Of high grade drugs, patent medicines

fumeries, paints, oils and glass, few
stores in this section carry as large q
stock that Is sold at as reasonable prices
Having q wide acquaintance in this
county, Mr.. Tevis' skill in pharmacy
and his high financial standing, has
given him high prominence which add:
no little to the commercial strength o
this enterpriSiug county seat.
