4 BUSINESS NAN.
Mr.. John joost to do sasinsss on sroader
and Larger Scale.

u 7 .
Mr.. John Joost, who has recently
identified himself with with the business
interests OF Walhalla, his old home town,
Is making preparations to enlarge the
scope OF his business interests. Since
his return to Walhalla he has given to
the town the neatest, most complete and
In every respect the best meat market
ever operated within her borders-in
fact, it is a safe assertion to saw the
meat market under his management is
second to none in the State. Everything
within the four walls of the market is as
neat and clean as the kitchen of the
most careful housekeeper, and the meats
served to his customers are the best that
the market affords. Under his manage
ment the market serves stallfed beef
always, and every pound of pork, sau-
sage, beef or mutton is handled with
view to cleanliness and cut with that
care and expertness that improves the
quality of all meats. His market is an
ideal one, and he deserves praise for his
efforts to place on the market the very
best meats that can be secured. His
large refrigerator almost constantly
holds fine large beef and several hogs.
Mr.. Joost is now adding to his busi-
ness another line. He intends keeping
on hand good supply of brick, lime
cement, etc, 80 that the local trade can
be supplied on the spot with all the
materials used by the mason and plas-
terer. In this line will, of course, be
Included the various grades of hair used
in mixing mortar, as we'll as numerous
other articles that go to make up the
complete list for the builder. In open
ing this branch of business Mr.. Joost is
making it possible for the citizens of
Waiballa to supply at home many articles
that are often needed and have horeto-
fore had to be ordered from abroad and
shipped in small quantities at heavy
cost. He will also deal extensively in
poultry, and intends making it a part of
his business to supply the local market
as we'll as ship chickens AMI eggs. Mr.
Joost is . thoroughly equipped business
man, believes in business methods, aud
his enterprise, push and energy make
him doubly welcome to mis- old home and
among her business men.
