firms who are permanently located in
the community and whose record has
earned them the confidence of all their
customers and the people with whom
they reside.
These remarks are certainly applica-
bic to the firm of Mason d Nelson, of
lola. The business was originally es-
tablished by Mr.. Mason about ten
years ago and was changed to the above
last year. They undertake all kinds of
transactions pertaining to the field of
the energetic real estate dealer. Their
books contain splendid list of lola
city residence lots running from 500 to
$3.50, while in the line of country
property they have ranches and farms
from 40 acres up to almost any desired
size. Collections of rents and manag-
ment of property for non-residents is
given special attention and settle
ment rendered monthly.
The firm consists of j. NJ. Mason
and G. NJ. Nelson. The former is II
native of the Empire state" but was
raised i'm Indiana. He was for many
years identified with the merchan-
dizing and milling business, but has
for the past ten years confined him
self to the real estate business. He
is II man Of shrewd business judy
ment, thoroughly straightforward
and one whose career has been such
as to win the respect of his fellow
citizens.
Mr.. Nelson is II native of the
Buckeye State lie came to Kan
sas in 1869 and located in Butler
county, where he engaged in the
stock raising business for fifteen
years. In 1884 he came to Allen
county and started farming, which he
followed until 1892, when he was
elected to the Office of county treas
urer. such satisfaction did his SER
vices give the people that they awarded
ond term. \ year ago he
was elected n member of the
Board of Education, of which he is
vice president. 1t would he super
fluous for us to further comment ON
the standing Of Mr.. Nelson in the
community MS an honorable, trust
worthy business man for the fact that
he is held in such esteem by his
fellow men, speaks for itself

AN EMPORIUM or FASHION.

\ Fine Stock of Millinery Creations
That are Exquisite.

The love of personal adornment is
inherent in almost every human be-
ing, and consequently everyone, es-
pecially every lady, is in duty bound
to make herself as attractive as posi-
bic, and nothing is 81 conducive to
this end as III artistic head dress.
In many of nuI smaller cities, citi-
zens are compelled to journey to the
metropolitan cities for their millinery
goods, but in lola this is absolutely
unnecessary, for the millinery parlors
of the above lad, Y are certainly superb
and there is nolhing wanting In her
stock.
Her establishment Is replete with a
most elegant stock of bonnets and
hats, everything being new and com
prising all the latest designs and
fashions and the most elegant trim
mugs to he found in the market.
All hats and bonnets trimeh in this
establishment are models of taste and
workmanship, as Miss Prlbolh has
that Natural gift which transforms
whatever she handles into thing of
beauty and u joy forever.
The store employs an average OF
three young ladie4, is commodious,
being 25X60 feet, and nicely finished
OIL. Miss PrIboth established this
business last spring, and it has been
conspicuous success from the begin
ming. She came here from Piltsburg,
Kansas, where she owned a business
OF the same kind but had to be given
up on account of her health. AS II
lady, she is cultivated and agreeable,
and her good management and fair
treatment of patrOus has been largely
instrumental in building up her pres
ent trade. In business and social re-
lations Miss Pribolh is highly es.
Ieemed by all whom she m cts,
She extends cordial Invitation to
the Ladies of Allen county and our
city to call and inspect her stock
which contains the very latest pa
terms from the east.

AN undertaking is that of the lola
Brick Company. The Inauguration of
the above concern was the result of
considerable labor and much search
after n suitable quality of clay. 1t
was largely owing to the persever-
ance and work of Mr.. a. w. Beck
that the company was originated, and
ii stands today Il monument of what
tenacity of purpose can achieve. This
undertaking is located about onc-half
mile east of lola, on about seven acres
of ground on which have been erected
the necessary buildings.
These have been fitted with every
modern appliance known to the brick
making art, so that the company
ranks with the foremost in the land.
1t was started in April of 1897, and at
once acquired business that has
kept il working To its full capacity.
They make all kinds of dry press,
vtriiicd and building brick, also drain
tile. The cOmpany's business has
hitherto been almost confined to sup
plying the local demand which has
kept them working steadily, but they
are prepared to ship all over the
state. That its product possesses all
of the requisite qualities, is evidenced
by its extensive use locally for there is
hardly II building of recent erection
that does not contain its brick, while
its use for sidewalks is universal.
The Company is owned by the follow

At no time in the history of
the world has there been
greater necessity for conducting farm
ing on an economical basis than at
present. Prices for agricultural pro-
ducts are low, and it behooves every
