mercial travellers well known in this
territory, who have made Norfolk their
home for three years and who own
property here. Two of them are prac-

will be covered by the new industry
will be bounded by Cheyenne Wyo,
on the main line of the Union Pacific;
by Hastings, Superior and Lincoln on
the South Platte branches of the
Northwesterni all of which radiate
from Norfolk; by the end of the North
western line in the Black Hills; by
the ShoshOni and the Big Horn coun-
try in that direction; by the Rosebud
reservation on the north; by the Mis-
souri, river on the east. All branches
of all lines in this vast field will be
covered. Five commercial travellers
will be put in the field to solicit bust
ness for the firm. The firm has been
incorporated under the state laws of
Nebraska for twenty years. Norfolk's
location and other advantages offered
here are considered by the firm as Of
fering advantages over Omaha, Sioux
City or any other point for this insti-
tuition. The machinery and fixtures of
the plant will be Immediately installed

Will Manufacture Fine Candies.
The new firm will, besides doing a
wholesale business in all sorts of con-
fections, cigars, California fruit juices
and fancy groceries, will manufacture
all of it's own candies and this will be
one of the most important features of
the industry. Everything in the candy
line will be made, and the product
will be made so as to compete with
II, NF all rte tlO
American market Stick candies,
chocolates and bon-bons of all kinds
will be made and it is said that the
output will be the equal in quality of
any confectionery product made any
where-not barring Omaha, Chicago, |
New York or Boston. Only the finest
of machinery and the very latest mod |
els for this work will be installed, and, |
since two of the firm are experienced
candy men, there is no reason why
the quality will not at once become |
the standard for this territory.
Who the Men in the Firm Are.
The following three commercial |
travellers, who have owned homes and
lived in Norfolk for the past three
years, are members of the new firm:
M. M. Faucet, president; w. e. Ha-
ger, vice president; S. R. Carney, Sec
rotary and treasurer.
Mr.. Carney has for years been a
my company, hardware jobbers, of
Omaha.
Mr.. Hager has been a representative
for the Richardson dry goods company
Of St. Joseph, Mo.
Mr.. Faucet has been with Palmer
& Co., candy manufacturers in Sioux
City.
Mr.. Faucet and Mr.. Hager are prac-
+,Cal candy men, having had expert
81 &c in this line, while Mr.. Carney is
4 very thorough business man and one
we'll acquainted with wholesale meth
DDS.
On January the new firm will buy
)ut the business of Faucet & Carney,
md will still continue to distribute the
California fruit juices which are now
being handled in this territory by Mr..
Haucett and Mr.. Carney.
1t is thought that it will take sixty
lays before the new plant can be got
n shape to do active business.
All Wholesale, no Retail.
The firm say that at every point of
heir preliminary transactions, such as
getting the building, ETC., they have
,een met with surprise at the fact
hat the firm will do all wholesale and
10 retail business. There will be moth
ng but wholesaling done by the insti-
ution and, as one of them puts it, 1t
will be impossible to get even so much
IS stick of candy at retail.
The five travelling men who will
over the territory will be placed,
at the following points, in
