undertaking. The Socorro gem

The idea of having a perma-

agent with his Office in Chicago
was happy one. This will fa-
cilitate matters and insure the
prompt dispatch of all business of

important lines. Mr.. Purer is
reported to be a master of his
trade, having been in the farm
land and emigration business for
more than twenty-five years, and
that very successfully.
Robert l.. Pitte is a Chicago
banker and real estate dealer of
considerable wealth and conSid-
cradle prominence among the
Bohemians of the country. He
enjoys the unlimited confidence
of American Bohemians every
where. There is no need of
further assurance that Mr.. Pitte
is the right man in the right
place.
+. J. Sistek is a member OF
the Pilsen Brewing Company
of Chicago. and has a pretty
thorough knowledge of the brew
ing business. He is so much
taken with the Gem City that il
he could have his wish gratified
he would remain here. He as.
sureS his Socorro friends, how
ever, that he will probably locate
here in the near future. He will
be heartily welcome.
