Although e. d. Hawley g. 90. only
succeeded to the business of Chris
Malone March 1 of this year, yet in
that short time they have thorough
ly won the peoples confidence and
largely increased the already well
established business which their pre-
decessor had built up. One of the
prime factors in the success of this
firm is that they handle only such
goods as are strictly reliable and
which they can guarantee as to quail
ity, finish and durability. For in
stance they handle such well known
makes of wheels as the Columbia,
Stearns, Barnes White Flyer, Ell
bridge, Featherstone, Acme, Pierce,
Sherman and Buffalo. All of these
are high grade wheels and are too
well known to the bicycle rider to
need any further comment. Besides
the above line of high grade wheels,
Hawley & %. also handle a large
variety of other wheels of the cheap
er grades, in fact the Intending pur-
chaser of bicycle cannot fail to find
just what he wants in this store and
at prices to suit any condition of
pocketbook or fancy. This firm is
in position to quote prices on BIZ
cycles in competition with any deal
or in this section and these who buy
a wheel without first seeing what
they have to offer, will make mis-
take. E. d. Hawley & Co. carry on
an extensive business in bicycle liy-
cry and carry fine line of wheels
for this branch of their trade. Their
prices in this line are most reason
able.
Another important part of the bus
mess OF this firm is the handling of q
large line of musical Instruments and
sewing machines. They handle q
full line Of pianos and organs and
make specially of the celebrated
'Capon" piano. They are in q po-

An Extensive and Reliable Real Estat
and Loan Firm
The above firm established themselye
in the real estate and loan business il
this city five years ago, coming here from
Fremont, this state, where they were en-.
gagged in the same line since 1890.
The valuable experience of the mem
bers of the firm has fitted them as goot
| judges of real estate values, while theiI
rapidly increasing business is proof pos
tive that the firm is reliable, responsible
and looks after all affairs entrusted te
their care in thorough, safe and bust.
ness like manner. In fact they are con.
Quoting one of the most progressive real
estate exchanges in the country. They
have listed valuable farm lands in south
ern Iowa and all the adjoining states;
also special values in farm lands in Utah.
They are agents for The Bear River Land
Co., whose main Office is at Corinre,
Utah. The vice president of this COM
pany is J. g. Hammond, formerly of this
city, and Lrothef of Col. Hammond, of
the Oskaloosa Savings Bank. The Bear
River Land Co. own lands in the rich
Bear River Valley, as rich lands as can be
found any place In this country. They
own their own irrigation canal and a
failure of crops there is an unknown
thing. The land is a wonderful producer
of both grains and fruits and Pugh Bros.
have listed farms in this locality of both
improved and unimproyed lands.
They also handle good deal of level
land in Wayne county, this state, and
have recently made several extensive
sales in that land, several of Mahaska
county people purchasing farms there
through Pugh Bros, one man alone pur-
chasing 100 acres of this desirable land.
They take out bi-monthly excursions of
land seekers 10 all points west and south.
These excursions occur the first and third
Tuesdays il each month and are free TO
all land seekers if they purchase.
At present Pugh Bros. have a large list
OF farms Of all sizes and prices and any
prospective buyers need only to indicate
their desires and mention the kind of
property needed to find that this Arm can
satisfy the demand.
Their ripe experience and long acquain-
lance in the business enables them to Sc
cure better values for homeseekers or in
vestprs than can possibly be obtained by
the parties themselves, and II win there
lore prove a decided advantage to those
to write TO the firm for partic- |
llaIs in any deal into which they may |
iesire to enter. Persons desiring Ioca-
ion in any kind Of manufacturing or |
business viii find It to their
profit to communicate with Pugh Bros,
IS they handle all kinds of stocks Of mer-
handise and properties for sale or ex- |
hange. Another important fact in their
FORK IL the negotiating Of loans on farm
nd city properties. They also conduct a
enting agency in city properties and col
,ct rent, pay taxes, etc, for non-residenis.
