THEIR 23RD Anniversary.
Hodge Brothers Long and Successful
Business Career.

Just % years ago tomorrow, March
18th, two young men, Charles
A. and Herbert j. Hodge, sons Of the
late Hon. J. M. Hodge, opened a
hardware store in the old white frame
building on Buckeye at the east end
Of Second street. They were ambiti-
Gus, energetic and popular and the
business in which they engaged has
grown under their careful attention
with each passing year. The old
white frame building, already grown
too small for their increasing trade,
was destroyed by fire and to accom-.
modate their needs was erected the
handsome Hodge Brothers block on
the same site. Both its ground
rooms are filled with one of the clean
est and handsomest stocks of hard
ware, stoves, ranges, buggies, wagons,
ETC., in Kansas while large sheds
shelter implements of all kinds and
workrooms are upstairs. Our read.
ers know this splendid model estab-
lishment and know that it has grown
from the humble start of the two
young men because during all the %
years they have given business their
close personal attention and have
made the customers interests their
own.
He who grumbles that there is "no
chance in the world for poor man"
should consider the story Of the Hodge
Brothers firm. 1t proves the con-
trary; it proves that the businessman
who is faithful to his trust, courteous,
honest and accommodating will win,
as has this firm. There is no hard
ware firm in Kansas that ranks higher
in the business world for good man
agemen. and financial standing than
Hodge Brothers Of Abilene. Its pro-
prietors will receive many congratu-
lations on the recurrence of their an
niversary-and they deserve it. Rich
ly have they earned their honors and
their success.
