FLOUR, FEED AND SEEDS.

One of the inevitable results of the
development of a town built up from a
large and fiourishing trade of farm
ing community is the demand for a
place to have their grain ground into
-four and feed, also place to purchase
their seeds for farm and garden pro-
ducts a place, known to be relia ble
which they can reach conveniently
without great loss Of time and labor.
AS result of this demand johnson
Creek has an elaborate feed mill and
also large store dealing in flour, feed +,
grain and seeds Of all kinds. The
firm conducting this business is com
posed Of two as jovial business men as
one cares to meet, men who under
stand their business and will 60 out OF
their way to please their farmer trade.
Messrs. Pitzner and Huebner are
the gentlemen who are conducting
this fourishing business and their
establishment is located on Watertown
street on the east side of Johns son
Creek. They conduct large mill, the
machinery of which is run by steam,
and enjoy large trade in grinding
feed for all the far mers within a radius
of several miles Of the town They
also carry full line of -four in their
feed store. The brands are all we'll
known, among them being such as
Wiz gold, Cream. Pillsbury Mills,
Success, White Swan, ETC. Here also
may be found all XII Ids of .ssure-to-
grow farm seeds of the best quality.
One OF the special lines is the high
grade seed corn which they furnish to
their farmer trade They are branch
ing out in this seed business and will
carry in addition in the future a large
and complete line of reliable Northern
grown garden seeds
Like all the business concerns of
this thriving little town the firm of
Pitzner e Huebner is in a thriving
condition, which comes as a result of
their untiring efforts to please in every
detail, and their straie htforward bust
ness methods.

The company was organized in 1898
b. VIM. H. Schallert.. During the
first year his brother Herman was in
company with him. In the End and

The store Of Mr. and Mrs. Trapp is
conviently located on Milwaukee street
near the depot and presents neat and

acter Of these goods is frst-class goes
without saying; thriving and increas-
ING trade is the best witness as to the
quality of their work. When in need
of anything in tn e bakery line the
people of johnson Creek and vicinity

in satisfactory manner, and that is

HARNESS SHOP

One Of the great conveniences pos
sessed by johnson Creek is the har-
ness shop owned and conducted by E.
+. Flatch. This is the only harness
establishments in the town and car
rles full line of everything in the
line.
Mr.. Flath, the proprietor, has been
engaged in business here for ten
years, He was born and raised three
miles south of Watertown. His father
was (. A. Flath, who came from Ger

A FIRST-CLASS BAKERY.

Along with other lines OF advance
ment modern methods of improvement
have succeeded in liz htening the work
OF the housekeeper in numerous lines.
but probably in no case more than in
the matter of baked goods. The i'm
proved and up--to-daae bakery of the
present day has made it possible to
secure the best of everything in the
line OF bread, pies, cake, etc, at less
outlay of money and time than is
possible in turning out these foods at
home. In fact this has come to be
one of the leading industries of the
country, until no live up-to-date town
is without one or more frst-class
bakeries.
In this line Of business Johnson
Creek is fortunately blessed Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Trapp are conducting an
establishment here, which is not only
equal, but ia many respects superior
to the bakeries of many larger places.
Mr.. Trapp learned his trade io Ger
many, in a most thorough manner,
and has spent number of years at the
business, also, in this country before
locating in this town. Equipped with
these years of practical experience
Mr.. and Mrs. Trapp are able to please
the most fastidious customers, which
TACT is, most emphatically demonstrated
by their large and growing trade
Their bread is not only sold here in
this town but is gaining a wide rcpu-
tation throughout the surrounding
country and their trade is only limited
by the inability to turn out more goods.
Nothing but the choicest flour is used
In the bread, and the same holds good
regarding the ingredients used in all
their articles of produce
At this establishment may be found
at all times fresh bread wheat. rye or
graham, cakes, cookies. pies, dough
nuts, and in fact everything usually
found In an up-to-date bakery. They
also carry line of confectionery such
as peanuts, candies and etc., and a

brides, harnesses, housings, ankle
boots, rosettes, bits, snaps, saddles,
blankets, plush robes, fur robes, lap
busters, fly nets. trunks, satchels, etc.
In fact everything carried in a first
class harness shop can be found here.
Any of the farmers in need of anything
Ia this line will make no mistake in
calling at this store.

DREWS g. DOVE.

Undoubtedly one of the best
known stores in Johnson Greek,
or in the vicinity, for that matter
is the establishment conducted
oy Drews & DOVE This bust
ness is one of long standing,
having been inaugurated num-
Der of years ago by j. z. Grell.
The business was established on
firm foundation by the old pro-
prietor, the result Of square deal
ing and careful business methods.
Although the present firm has
conducted the business some
what less than year, they have
demonstrated the fact that they
intend to continue the same trade
drawing methods Of their prede-
ceSSOrS.
They are located on the north
side Of Milwaukee street, just a
few doors west Of the Grell
creamery and Offices. The build
is a large frame structure Of am
pie proportions to display a
large and well-selected stock In
this store is also located the
postOffice.
Both members of the firm are
young and enterprising business
men of experience. Mr.. Emil
Drews was a former resident Of
Juneau, where he was we'll
known among his business asso-
ciates as a public-spirited man of
good judgment and integrity
Mr.. Charles Dove came here
from Horizon and has also had a
number of years of experience
in business life and also bears an
equally good reputation with his
partner. In fact they are both
courteous gentlemen with whom
it is a pleasure to deal and are a
valuable addition to the wide
awake and enterprising citizens
of Johnson Creek.
Although the public like to
deal with gentlemen, still they
are also guided somewhat by the
grade of goods which may be pro-
cured at a reasonable figure.
Here also Messrs. Drews & Dove
are to the front. Not only do they
keep good goods but a large and
varied assortment from which to
make selections as well. Their
dry goods line is complete and
up-to-d date and the ladies are
pretty apt to find what they're
looking for, from a piece of cali
co to the finest silk dress pat
terms. A large stock Of staple
groceries and crockery is also
carried as we'll as a first-class
line of cigars and tobacco. One
thing that this store is noted for
is the fact that everything is
fresh and of a frst-class brand.
Among some. Of their leaders
might be mentioned Mayer
& Schoenneke's shoes, shay
proof rubbers, Richardson's
S u p e la tive arpe t S,
Butterick patterns, Merchants
Mills'' coffees and pure spices,
"Black Cat honey, J. G. G.
eorsets, Badger hats and fur
coats, Heinz bulk and bottled
pickles, gold medal and Queen
brand canned goods ETC., with
such an elaborate line of high
grade goods to select from the
prospective customer certainly
