trusts. On this subject he said
The democrats say am afraid to
talk about the trusts That settles

This combination OF capital for one
purpose or another is not a political

We must stand prepared for the

Houses OF Florence.

ON November 4, 1897, The Flor

many was formed, and its market
established by two enterprising
youpc men, Watt NJ. McClintock
and George W. Pence. From the
very first success crowned the ven
ture to a full degree of what must
naturally follow as the result of
long experience, strict integrity
and an aggressive business policy.
On January p of the present
year the former partnership was
dissolved by mutual consent, and
Mr. McClintock became sole pro-
prietor of the business which is
continued under the same name.
Mr.. McClintock has been a
butcher practically all his life, and
for fourteen years prior to his To-
eating in Florence he was foreman
Of one of the largest packing
houses in the west, an experience
which eminently fitted him for
the responsibility of conducting
business of his own.
The F. p. q P's. market, which
is located on East Main street. op-
posite the McCandless block, is
one that appeals strongly to the
epicure. Everything in the line
of meats, both fresh. and smoked,
is kept on hand, as we'll as large
stock and full assortment of fresh
and salt fish, canned goods, fresh

the future of this house present
