interest in the progress of Fruita was
at all times alive and keen and he
can be said to have done great deal
for the upbuilding of that town. In
1897. the store was sold out and Mr..
Osborn moved to Pueblo where he
and his son opened a large grocery
establishment. For two years they
remained i'll Pueblo. and enjoyed a
splendid trade but i'll health result
ing from the smoke and fumes of that
city caused them to return to our
beautiful climate.
In 1900, Mr.. Osborn came to Grand
Junction. With his sons, o. L. and
u. NJ Osborn, he engaged in the flour,
feed and live stock business at $50
Main street. The firm handles hay.
grain. flour. feed. cornmeal, cereals.
barrelled oats and so forth, and in
addition does a general whole sale
brokerage business. Last year their
increasing trade demanded more space
and II new wareroom was constructed
beside the old one. Today Mr. Osborn
is numbered among the most substan-
tial and highly respected business men
in Grand Junction.

during which they conducted livery

localities about Grand Junction. At

COLORADO FRUIT BELT.

Other sections of Colorado raise
fruit. in greater or less quantities,
but the real fruit belt of Colorado is
the famous Grand Valley, the largest
and most fertile valley i'll the state
The lusciousness OF the fruit has Civ
en- it a reputation which reaches Ear
and wioe. 1t will in very few
years produce greater amount of
fruit than any section of the west.
Tens of thousands of fruit trees are
planted each year. Notwithstanding
there is vast acreage still undevel-
oped. it will only be few years until
this great valley is one vast garden
spot. As has been said elsewhere.
this great valley has climate un-
surpassed for raising fruit.

THE PROGRESS.

Nothing else perhaps has contribut-
ed so much to tightening the drudgery
of the housewife as the perfection of
the modern system of baking and the
establishment of bakeries in all our
towns and cities. Family baking day
has no longer any terror to the house
wife, for fresh bread or rolls can be
had delivered at ones door daily and
at such prices that it is really econo-
my to buy of the baker In saving
the above we refer particularly to the
Progress bakery which is one of the
most popular bakeries and grocery
stores in Grand junction.
George Lander, the proprietor of
The Progress, learned his trade in ST.
Louis when he was still very Young.
In that city he was born in 1874. AT
the age of IA he struck out for him
self and came west. He worked in
several different places in the west
ern states, meanwhile gathering much
valuable business experience. In 1900,
Mr.. Lander opened The Progress bak-
cry. His trade has been on the in
crease since then so that now he has
one of the best paving businesses in
Grand Junction.
The Progress furnishes to order at
reasonable prices wedding cakes,
birthday cakes, fancy iced cakes,
small cakes. and all kinds of pastry
fresh every day. 1t supplies the lead
ing hotels, restaurants and groceries
as well as large portion of the fam
lilies of Grand Junction. An excel
lent line of groceries and canned
goods is also carried. The Progress
is located at 300 Main st. Phone 1913.

The person who can say that he has

may we'll be regarded among the pic

Coloradan.
JW Osborn came TO this state from
Georgia. the place of his nativity.
away back i'll the year 1876. In Geor-
gia Mr.. Osborn spent the first % years
of his life. There he had been ell
gagged in the flour milling business.
1t was in the year 1888 that Mr..
Osborn came into the Grand Valley
to live. He first located in Fruita
where he engaged i'll the cattle bust
ness. Following this he started
general mercantile store in Fruita.
which store proved eminently success
full. After five years. W. @. Osborn.
a son, was taken into the business.
Those qualities that win customers
for IA concern Mr.. Osborn possessed.
He was ALWAYS honest in his dealings.
