has delivered many sharp thrust at the men

of his long and useful career But never has
the keen broadsword of his criticism hacked up
the furniture in that holy of holies, the Ameri-

warrant than it did last Saturday. Address

Wausau Sandpaper Co.

In the great race for industrial
supremacy the city of Wausau has
made an enviable record for city
of its size. One of the interests that
has made Wausau well known
throughout this country and one of
her best advertisers, is the Wausau
Sandpaper Co., which was organized
entirely by local capital and incor-
porated in 1900.
They are manufacturers OF flint
sandpaper, emery cloth and emery
paper, and few people in this vicin-
ity realize the magnitude of this
company, and that its output is dis
tributed throughout the world.
With the increasing capacity the
volume of business it has done the
past eight months, our people can
not help but realize the benefit de-
rived from this universal advertise
ment of Wausau. There goes out
from this factory daily about $4,000
sheets of sandpaper, which is
distributed to all parts of the coun-
try, bearing the name of Wausau
and the trade mark of this concern,
reaching all classes of tradesmer
and artisans.
The officers of the company are
G. S. Curtis, Pres, John Johnson
Vice Pres, and w. w. Albers
Treas.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1907-10-08
C. F. Dunbar Co.

The stores of Wausau are very
much better in appearance and bet
ter stocked than average cities OF
the same size. One of the things
that always strikes new conner is
the excellent quality of goods
handled which creates the impress
sion that the people who patronize
them are able to purchase, and do
purchase the best.
c.. f. Dunbar has been in the
iewelry business for the past forty
eight years and established himself
in Wausau in 1874. The business
has been conducted as the G. f.
Dunbar Co. since its incorporation
in 1901, and is Differed by G. f.
Dunbar, Pres. and Treas; Mrs. G.
f. Dunbar, Vice-Pres., and o. Lii
ieqvist, Sec. and Mgr, and the
above, with Mrs. o. Liljeqvist, form
the board of directors.
The array of goods at this store is
certainly superb and everything in
good taste without bizarre effect
They carry splendid assortment o.
diamonds, jewelry, gold clocks, cut
glass, hand painted china and Opt
cal supplies, and have watch ant
iewelry repair department which il
the equal of any in this state. They
carry only a high grade line O
goods, being especially strong il
watches, diamonds, cut glass ant
silver ware, and their selection coul(
not be surpassed in towns of mucl
greater pretentions than Wausau.
Their goods are marked at loves
figures consistent with their qualit,
and patrons are waited upon cour
teously and attentively at all times
The store is attractively furnishe,
| with mahogany and plate glass fix
lures. The members of the firr
understand fully the requirement
of their trade, and their ability t
satisfactorily cater to them is al
tested by the success of the bushes
since its establishment. The stor
is located at 3l3 Third street.

The Crystal
EUROPEAN HOTEL.

In the advancement of Wausau
within few years from small
country town to a thriving little
city, a number of the city's enter
prises have been compelled to keep
step with this march of progress.
The tastes of the people located
here are metropolitan and Mr.. Zen
der, the proprietor of the Crystal,
has shown himself equal to the oc-
casion. He conducts a European
hotel for men only, and the entire
place is neatly and comfortably fur
nished and presents most attrac-
tive appearance.
He conducts a first-class bar, its
regular patronage being very large
and of the best class, and the ele-
gance of it's equipment and the
beauty and taste of its furnishings
make it unsurpassed in the metro
politan cities.
He has a stock of the choicest
liquors and refreshments obtainable
including the best WHISTLES, wines,
brandies, beer, mineral waters and
all of the soft drinks, and the most
skilled and courteous attendants
are in charge. He also has lunch
rooms, serving lunches at all hours.
Adjoining the bar with Third
street entrance, is billiard parlor,
which contains the most up-to-date
furniture. He also has a cigar
counter containing all the imported
and domestic brands of cigars and
tobaccos and a barber shop, which
is under the management of Lee
Strassberg.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1907-10-08

and incidentally to reduce the exorbi-
tant rates which that company had been
charging.
Two years ago they installed what is
known as the automatic system and the
phenomenal growth and increase in
popularity of this system has been felt
by our citizens, and it may be safely
said that in no city has there been more
improvements made along these lines
than in Wausau. The new system is
remarkable one in many respects and
the accompanying cut gives an idea OF
the style of telephone used. The ser
vice is always prompt, even in rush
hours of the day as well as the quietest
hours of the night. Nothing can Illus
trate or close up the automatic it new
er sleeps and it is never busy. 1t is the
same yesterday, today and forever and
would certainly appear to be one of the
steps further towards the dawn of the
promised day of universal peace.
The plant in this city was CONSTRUCTED
by the Automatic Electric company of
Chicago. 1t was not installed as a
money making scheme, but for the pur-
pose of getting iirst-class service, and
they now have over 800 phones, all of
which can be operated with only one
person at central.
The company has an all cabled in
stallation throughout the city, there
being a cable from the central Office TO
the center of each block in the business
and resident parts of the city, which is

Chris. Lund.
FLORIST.

One Of the most popular business
establishment in the city, and GER
tainly the most attractive, is that
of Chris Lund whose greenhouses
are located at GA Grand Ave, not
far from the cemetery.
The business was founded fifteen
years ago, has steadily grown, and
at present it consists of four large
houses, to which two new ones will
soon be added. 1t is time well spent
to make visit to this place, where
a cordial welcome is extended to all,
and see the large quantities of the
popular plants and cut flowers grown
there which supply the ever increas-
ing demand of this and neighboring
cities. A speciality is made of fine
roses, carnations, chrysanthemums,
and artistically arranged floral de-
signs and emblems for all occasions.
They also carry a full line of hardy
shrubs and bulbs for out of door
planting.
Mr.. Lund is also carrying on an
extensive and rapidly growing out
of town business, as the people have
found out by experience that they
can do so very much better here
than by sending away to Milwaukee
or Chicago for their flowers.

Mr.. Nath. Heinemann, who is at
the head of one of our leading de
partment stores, is Unidentified with
every movement that tends to the
development of the city in which he
has been so prosperous and success
full. He is interested in several
large industries and how he finds
time to attend to them in connec-
ton with conducting his large de
partment store is connndrum, but
he does attend to them, and does it
well, always coming up with a smile
and in a good humor.

years ago and has increased his floor

His motto all through his business
career has been Buy right, and sell

and largely, and his sales attest that
he sells right. This store is the
popular trading place for dry goods,
furnishings, mems clothing, carpets,
ladies' suits, shoes, fancy goods,
novelties and hundred other

the city.
Mr. Heinemann makes a speciality

Wausau Paper Mills Co.

The rapid advancement IN manu-
featuring arts, which so distinguish
our American industries, is subject
for interesting study. In almost
every department of mechanics do
our people excel and the products
of our manufactures stand I'M
rivaled in the markets of the world.
An enterprise in our vicinity
which has built up an excellent rep
utation on the superior quality OF
their product is the Wausau Paper
Mills Co, whose annual production
reaches SO, 900, 900 pounds of paper.
This industry is the pioneer of its
class in Northern Wisconsin, the
mills being located at Brokaw, live
miles north of the city, on the Wis
cOnsin river.
The plant was originally built at
a cost OF 800, 900 and many inn
provements have been made since
its establishment in 1899, until now
they employ from 275 to 300 work
men in the mills, besides Il large
number of men in the woods. They
own immense tracts of timber land
and this year purchased another
large tract. Their paper is manu-
featured from ground wood and
sulphite pulp, all of which they
manufacture. Their output con

The village of Brokaw where the
plant is located has population OF
800 people, is incorporated and was
built by this company The land is
set off i'm school districts and the
company has built seventy houses
which are rented to their employees
for a reasonable amount.
The village is located in a very
picturesque valley, which makes it a
most desirable place of residence:
