came here u few years ago. in 1883,
a native of famous Oneida county,
New York. Az is always the case
with the average citizen of the EN-
pire State, he possesses a full sup
ply of energy and business acumen.

omically and wisely, 10 careful in
representation of wares, sells goods
at hard pan prices, Is liberal in his
dealings with customers, and mer-
its the trade that has been built up.

Der yards here. Started in 80, by p.
r. Slater, who came hi,her from the
Blue Grass State, TO which he IL ma
tive, aud who has we'll identified
himself with local interest. He has
ever since had charge of their af-
fairs here. This concern have many
Wholesale distributing agencies and
retail yards scattered over Kansas,
Oklahoma aud Missouri, and even
beyond. In the yards and ware
houses, is displayed an adequate
stock of every description of rough
and dressed lumber, doors, sat h.
and all other building material.
They are fully able to furnish any
thing and everything in wood, that
enters into the construction of a
building of any class. Various.
causes have operated TO depfess
prices in the past few seasons, when
10 taken into account the labor in
volved and the vast outlay of cap
ital necessary, nothing like fair
profits have been realized by the
trade generally. As MIR. Slater re-
marked: "That is one of the cir
cumstances which has 10 be en-
dured with fortitude." 1t remains,
however, that the public have been
buying lumber at less figures than
allows reasonable remuneration. II
must occur TO any fair-minded per-
son, that the sooner values adjust
themselves 10 more healthy con-
dition of the trade, the better u viii
