Robinson doing the wood work for
wagons, buggies, etc., and Mr.. Nc
Carly the iron work for wagons, etc.
He does all kinds of iron work except
horse.shoeing and employs 8 men.
Both have been here since 1870. They
do none but first class work.
Before 1 go further let me tell you
that Mr.. House intends having him.

photographed by Miss Sadie ReImert,
the best photographer in and artist in
Eastern Kansas. My, but she does
excellent work. She does the aristo
or platino, the latter is the new pro-
cess and makes from minettes to
like sized photos. She also does
oil and crayOn work. She has an
elegant studio of 8 rooms en-sUite.
The backgrounds are handsome. You
should see her new tense. 1t is great for
group work. Her prices are right,
the inventor says, and he knows.
Then she is such a pleasant lady to
patronize. She is the favorite of the
CITY both in business and social cir
Giles. We wish her success.
AS Mr.. House does not intend to
spend all bis time in the air with his
bride he has purchased, as all sensi-
BILE people should, considerable prop
erty from our old friend ID. w. Bost-
wick, the real estate boomer and In
surance and Loan agent. Let me tell
you about BOstwick. In the first
place he has been here about 80 years,
which is big recommendation, in the
next place he does more to boom lola
than any other man in town, and an
other thing no sane person would list
property with anybody else but him.
He has made more loans OIL farms
and located more families in this
county than anybody. He has all
the improved and unimprOved land
i'm the county, that is for sale or ex-
change, on his lists. Mr.. House also
has his ship insured in the Western
and Orient Companies handled by
him.
AS the inventor sauntered down
the street he passed the drug store of
Campbell & Christian. He entered
this store struck by its design and
handsome appearance. The store is
done in Egyptian style, rarely ever
seen except in large cities, and has
l
equal outside Kansas City. He was
kindly treated and could not help
noticing the place. On every side
the coy store was filled with a most
complete line of the various sundries
usually carried by drug firm. On
one side were rows and rows of drugs
in attractive bottles and on the other
| side of the room were shelves upon
shelves of patent medicines, toilet ar.
ticles, etc. Everything was clean
and fresh and up to date. Cigars
wall paper, gypsine, stationery, sport
ing goods and painters supplies are
specialties with this firm. That the
firm does a big business is evidenced
by the large number of callers which
came in while he was there. Both
! gentlemen are scarcely over q and
| hustlers and unmarried. Here's
your chance girls.
Right here / want to tell my read
ers of the firm who supplied Mr.
House with his lumber to build the
air ship and his elegant house. Why
you should see the interior of the ship
and also the residence. Both are
fitted out in oriental splendor. Hard
wood of all kinds enter into the fin
ishipgs of both the ship and house
Hundreds of feet of this kind of lum
Der was used by Mr.. House and
thousands of feet of the commonel
goods. This firm is the old stand by
A. l.. Taylor. He carries the most
complete line of dressed and un'
dressed lumber in the county. He
also has thousands of feet of the high
class woods. His yards are 110xl5(
feet in size and piled high with lum
Der. Besides lumber this firm sells
brick, tile, paints and all building
materials. Mr.. Taylor has the larg'
est lumber sheds in the state and his
lumber is all under cover which keeps
it bright and clean. Mr.. Taylor is
Hoo Hoo and genial fellow.
