kept stock and prompt service.
 For twenty-one years Jacob Salz- man has beer a resident of Will jams, and during the entire period has been in the mercantile business either under his own name or asso- ciated with his brother.
 The sale of his mercantile inter- ests here to the firm of Babbitt Brothers & Co. will deprive Will jams of one of it's foremost and most progressive citizens-a man who has continually. during his long residence here, ever been on the alert for anything that would mean greater population and a more substantial asset for the city. In fact, his reputation for public spirit has often been a means of imposition and many have been the times when he was really too generous in his advances towards subscriptions and public needs pre- sented to him.
 His friends number by the score and naught but the best words are heard concerning his innumable business dealings and transactions over the period of years which rep resent his residence here.
 Mir. Salzman's first business venture in Willia ms was in build ing next to Mike Reneke's present location, where he opened up some eighteen years ago. Later his business was totally destroyed by fire. c. E. Boyce came to the rescue and provided a building near the present Santa Fe tracks where another stock was offered to the public a short time afterward. Later he was associated with his brother, Max Salzman, and event. ually bought out the stock which for the past few years he has operated.
 Although it will be necessary for Mir. Salzman to remain in Will jams few weeks in order to settle up his business and straighten out his accounts. he will undoubtedly
 leave the territory within a short time. Just where he will locate he has not yet decided. His selling out and proba ble subsequent departure is learned with regret by the many friends he has made during his long residence here, and all are sorry to see things shape themselves that will cause the departure of the family anc himself.
