Wholesale Lumber Broker.

Mr.. VI. j., Roess has opened up a
lumber brokerage business in this
city and has his office in the Mer-
chants Block, Room, No. 6.
His business will be wholesale en-
tirely and he will make a speciality of
railroad material. He will be in cor
respondence with some of the largest
lumber concerns i'm the country and
viii be in a position to place very
large orders and the lumber mills o
the country will do well to keep in
touch with him.
Mr.. Roess is a splendid, accurate
and enterprising young business man
and since living in Florida has been
closely identified with the lumber in
terests.
We believe that he will make a sue
cess of this business and expect TO
see it grow into very large proper
tons.
Mr. Roess still retains his in
terest in the Northern e Southern
Lumber Company at Cornell of which
company he has been a partner ever
since it. was organized several years

ed and saddened to learn of his

his life was full of bright promises.
He was the oldest child of Rev. and
Mrs. c. NJ. Gray. who formerly resid-

them for several years. He was a
splendid looking and manly young fell
low and it will be hard for his friends
to realize that they will see him no
more.
