JOHN G. KEENE,

No association can do business and
prosper unless it has good secretary.
In this respect the Brightwood Citi-
zens' Association has been peculiarly
fortunate.
The Office IS now being very ably
filled by Mr. John G. Keene, who has
always taken a lively interest in the
welfare of all the other suburban COM
munities, as well as in his own
home town, Brightwood, and his
brother Arthur L., the first sec
retary of the association, whose
death a few years ago was sin
cerely mOurned by large follow
ing of close friends and acquaintances,
was actively engaged during the last
year of his life in devising means for
the relief of suburban people. He was
one Of the active organizers and Sec
retary of the Brightwood Avenue Citi-
Zens' Association (which was born
and named i'm the Office of the Subur-
ban Citizen) from it's organization un-
iii the time Of his death.
There is no use of trying to tell the
people of Brightwood anything about
John g. Keenp for he was born and
raised there and is highly respected
by many Of its people, We have been
told to say that some of the fair sex
really love him but we won't do It for
fear it might around
A few months ago he went into busi-
ness for himself and opened a shoe
store at 90S G street, N W. He is n
man of great experience in the shoe
business having been connected with
one of the large shoe houses on f
street for eight years. and now that he
has gone into business for himself at
90S G street n w, where he has fitted
up an elegant shoe parlor. we bespeak
for him a liberal share of trade from
suburban people, in whom he and his
whole family have been deeply inter
ested for the past twenty years or
more,
His father, Mr. j. r, Keen, is county
superintendent of schools in the
Brightwood district, a position he has
held with great credit to himself for
number Of years.
The suburban citizen., 1900-11-03

it was not until 1874 that he located
on Brightwood avenue Since that
date his business has grown to i'm
mensc proportions and his goods are
sold all over town and in the suburbs
as well as at his various stands in the
markets.
He thus affords excellent facilities
for the supply of his goods to the
public. Nothing but the choicest
meats enter into his sausages which
the public know to be all and wholly
manufactured by him on his own
premises whore he employs about
thirty hands.
Being the largest sausage maker in
the city he does a hourishng whole
sale business in connection with his
retail trade
Mr. Lochier is business man Of
sound Judgment, noted for his equita-
bic methods Of doing business and is
well worthy the great success he has
achieved
He is one Of the Oldest members Of
the Bightwood Citizens Association
and is always willing to help along
their good work

WILTON ]. LAMBERT.

Wilton J. Lambert was born in the
District of Columbia in 1871, was the
only grandson Of the late John Van

and most successful business men N
Washington, having been among the
founders of such enterprises in the
Capital as the Great Falls Ice Com

ington Brick Machine Company and
Southern Maryland Railroad He is
the son Of Tallmadge A. Lambert, the
well-known lawyer for many years
president of the Great Falls lee Com
panY and a prominent candidate for
the recent vacancy upon the District
Bench when Illness compelled his tenn
porary retirement from active work.
Mr. Wilton j. Lambert received his
early education at the private schools
of Profs o. c. Wright and c. b, Young
OF this city, and his college course at
Princeton, where he was a member Of
the class Of 1892, after which he enter
cd Georgetown Law School and became
president and one of the leaders of his
class. He entered the bar in 1894,
standing among the first three in the
competitive examination, and at once
began practice with his father, the

tions and has been prominently identi-
fed with many leading District cases,

DR., HENRY DARLING.

The fourth yice-prcsident Of the
Brightwood Citizens Association, Or.
Henry Darling, has practiced medicine
in ard about BrightwOod for so many
years that IL is unnecessary to say
much about him except that he stands
second to no man in his section in his
knowledge of medicine, and his large
practice attcsts the fact that he studies
moro to keep people on this side of
the earth than he does to put them
where they will be of no use whatever
to themselves or their kinsmen.
For nearly a year past he has been
moro or less laid up on account of in
jury received through the criminal
carcicssness of a motorman on the
Brightwood line, but he is gradually
becoming more active and his friends
hope he may eventually thoroughly re-
cover and be himself again as of yore.
He has been an active and willing
worker in the Brightwood Citizens
Association whose entire membership
respects him for his genial ways and
the pleasant word he has for every
body
The doctor has decided views politi-
cally and otherwise but he has the
happy faculty of expressing his views
i'm such a manner that when he opens
his mouth he does not put his foot in
it.

member of various important commit
tees and his Judgment is usually

VIM. F. GUIDE.

Bad luck and good luck have been
defned as being, the one, a man sitting
on a fence with a straw in his mouth
waiting for something to turn up, and
the other as a man with his sleeves
rolled up working with might and main
to make something turn up.
Every community is made up OF these
TWO classes of men, and according as
one or the other dominates its affairs
so will its prosperity and progress be
satisfactory or the reverse. If the
good luck" class predominates the
very air becomes surcharged with en-
ergy and even the drones are thrilled
into action, as the machinery In the
remotest corner of a large factory re-
spends 20 the force of the mighty en-
ginc in the basement.
While Brightwo0d has long had many
citizens Of push and vim and untlring
energy, the community has recently
had very notable accession to that
class i'm the person of Mr.. VIM. r. Guide,
junior member of the firm OF A. Guide
a Bro, the florists, whose magnificent
salesroOms are at No. 1924 + street,
N. w.
Mr. GUIDE moved into the neighbor-
hood last spring and Is most pleasantly

j. A, WINEBERGER.

Mr j. A. Wineberger, the wagon
builder, of $500 Brightwood avenue,
takes great pride in being a member OF
the Brightwood Citizens Association
and he is willing to help in any move
ment for the general good of the pub
lie.
The business in which he is en-
gagged was established by his father,
John T. Wineberger, in 1852. Ten
years later he succeeded his father and
by hard work and untiring effort he
has built up very prosperous bust
ness.
When he first opened there was not
single house on the west side of the
avenue from his shop to Florida ave-
nue. and only five on the east side.
To-day tGG'J arc . hundred py more
dwellings to every one at that time.
While he sells everything in his line
his speciality is in building work to
order. In this field he has a most
enyiabe reputation. Our estimate Of
his character wiz be found on page

N. E. ROBINSON.

Mr. N. E. Robinson, the second vice.
president of the Brightwood Avenue
Citizens Association, also has the
honor of being treasurer of that or
ganization and as long as he holds
it's strong box there is no necessity for
anybody to hold him.
Being a property owner in Bright
wood and one of its old and highly
respected residents he naturally places
his services at the disposal of the
town in an endeavor to see that JUS
tice is done its people in all public
matters.
In his modest and retiring way he
lays no claim to extraordinary distinc-
tion. but the fact that it was N. E.
Robinson who first suggested that an
association be formed in BrightwOod
will always stand to his credit and
make him beloved to greater degree
by each succeeding generation.
He was president Of the associa-
tion from its organization until 1898
and from 1898 to 1899 he had the pleas
ure of serving as its president, the
highest honor that can possibly be be-
slowed on any man by the people Of
Brightwood.
He frequently calls attention to the
noble efforts that were made by VIM.
A. Galley, John l.. Norris, Arthur l..
Kcene. Daniel Ramey and Claude f..
King in behalf Of the association and
the town and is anxious that due
credit should be given others for the
time and energy expended by them,
but in the matter of public spirit and
sacrifice for the general good the name
of n. r. Robinson will always remain
prominent in the annals Of Bright
wood

THOMAS BLAGDEN

Mr.. Thomas Blagden, third vice
president of the BrightwoOd Citizens
Association has labored incessantly for
the past seven years in the interest Of
a street extension plan that would
make suburban streets conform to
those of the city, and of bond issue
to provide funds for the immediate
consummation of the plan.
Mr. Blagden and his family own 300
acres at Argyle on the Piney Branch
Road or Fourteenth street extended.
They have donated mile of land for
Blagden avenue, which is 100 feet wide
and when improved will make one OF
the grandest entrances to the Zoo,
and also the land for the extension OF
Sixteenth street. They also stand
ready to donate such other streets as
the Commissioners or Congress may
designate
Believing as he does that Washing
ton is destined To be the most beauti-
ful capitol in the world, Mr. Blagden
is working with the Brightwood Citi-

ANDREW L0EFFLER.

The markets of this city contain no
more stable article than Ioefiler's sau-
sage manufactured by Mr.. Andrew
L0eiIler whose residence, stock
yards, manufacturing plant, etc, are
located on Brightwood avenue a short
distance beyond the boundary.
Mr. Loefller is n native of Germany,
where he thoroughly learned the art
Of making Frankfort and Vienna sau-
sage and during the past thirty years,
during which time he has been located
in the district, it has been universally
conceded that he produces the finest
grade of goods ever offered for sale In
this market Coupled with this fact
is the other and very important one
that he is the largest sausage maker
in the district, thus earning the title
the Suburban Citizen gave him years
ago of being the Sausage King.
In 1869 he came to Washington, but

THE BRIGRTWOOD DRIVING CLUB

Thirty-three years ago a party Of
gentlemen OF sporting procliyities ac-
quired a tract of land at Brightwood
and laid off a half mile track for rae
ing purposes
It had its ups and downs AMI was
very severely tried from 1890 to 1895
by adverse legislation that came near
cleaning up every race track in the
District In addition to this the
Brightwood Driving Club has been
severely and sorely Handicapped by
poor management until by a streak of
good luck it secured the services Of
its present manager Mr. b. ManniX,
whose ripe experience has stood the
club in such good stead that they have
held two circuit meetings this year
and each succeeding one has been
more successful than its predecessor.
IL is now i'm the National Trottlng AS
socation. Such a record is unheatd
of in the history of the club and its
most ardent deyOtees would hardly
have dared to venture the prediction
a year ago that such a thing was pos
sible
Mr.. ManniX has brought to the club
ripe experience, good Judgment, an
idea as to plans that is wide in it's
scope and a broad and favorable ac-
qualntance among the very element
that has a money value to every
hacker Of the Brightwood Driving
Club.
OF genial disposition, Of sound judg-
ment, Of clever address and square
as die, Mr. ManniX seems at last to
have fitted into place that futnisnes
him with pleasant occupation and rhn

CHAS. E. EB;L.

The Bmghtwood Citizens Association
has on its membership roll the names
of many of the largest and most sub
stantial business men of the District
of Columbia, and she feels justly proud
of the fact. Among the list the name
of Chas e. Ebel has long stood for
much that is substantial in the bust
ness life of Washington. Having a
wide range Of practical experience in
nearly all lines of the butchers busi-
ness and with twenty years experience
in catering to the wants of a discrimi-
mating public he has justly earned the
goodwill of host Of select customers.
His stands in the Centre Market, Nos.
SAC and 64S in the Ninth street wing,
are always kept in such a neat, clean
condition that they invite patronage
which has been steadily growing, year
by year. until it now embraces several
Of the leading hotels, restaurants and
private boarding houses and a select
line of private families who want the
very best obtainable and who appre-
ciate prompt service and courteous
treatment
Mr. Ebel ikes to see the improve
ments coming his way. He likes good
street car service, good roadways good
sidewalks, weu-lightcd and well-policed
streets, and he has the good sense to
realize that the Brightwood Citizens
Association, to which he belongs, has
been the leading force in securing these
improvements for his section, which is
entitled to very careful consideration
at the hands Of the authorities, owing
to the vast sums that are annually
poured into the District treasury by its
nNOnIa.
