G. D. Jones Land Co.

Marathon county is equal to, even
if it does not surpass, any county in
Wisconsin, and never had better
prospect for the investor than at
the present time. Real estate val
ues are steadily advancing, and this
state of affairs has been brought
about by the general prosperity OF
the community.
The G.. d. Jones Land Co. was
organized in November, 1901, and
the firm is thoroughly acquainted
with land and land values in this
and surrounding counties, having
an acquaintance covering the en-
tire state, and they have negotiated
number of important transactions.
1t was organized as a land holders
company for the members OF the
firm, which consisted of Messrs-
RYAN, Hurley 81 Jones, the partners
now being Hurley q Jones, OF the
law firm Of the same name.
This company has land in this and
other counties in the state, is BUY
ing and selling timber and agricul-
tural lands and they are very much
interested in the settlement OF Cen
trail Wisconsin and especially Mara
thon county. They have interests
in this vicinity amounting to about
80, 900 acres of good agricultural
lands, having sold large amount
to actual settlers, and it is their
aim to treat their investors fairly
and literally. They do no commits
sion business, but deal in their own
lands exclusively, handling no city
properties, their efforts being con
| fined to large or small tracts of tim
Der and agricultural lands.
All of their land is available t.
good roads and it is their aim t.
bring into Marathon county an hon
est and thrifty farming class that
will bring it forward to a place thai
| it's great natural advantages en-
titles it to occupy.
Their unimproved lands are val
ued at from $12 80 per acre up
wards, depending upon location ant
timber upon them, and the i'm
proved lands readily sell at from 81
to 800 per acre. Their terms ar
one fourth cash and the balance il
easy payments, with 6 per cent. in
terest, and the timber on much o
the land will pay for it.

The Wausau Realty Co.

Age, term of service, or descent
have nothing to do with winning
success. It's the ability, the capac
ity to do and doing it-that entities
a business establishment to public
confidence, patronage and approval
The Wausau Realty Co., have
lare holdings of the very best agri-
cultural, timber and cut over lands
in the market for sale, and it sells
the land. This company, whose
offices are in the Livingston Bldg,
makes a speciality of selling the best
land at the lowest possible price.
Their lists include everything from
a city lot to Il $40 acre tract. They
have been especially successful in
selling small farms, thereby catering
to the needs of the truck gardener
and poultryman.
A member of the Wausau Realty
company said day or so ago that
when one would consider the calibre
of Wausau and her resources, which
the alert real estate man would, of
course, keep in the lime light,
there can be no accurate or definite
conclusion as to the city's POSSIBLE
ties. That her sixteen thousand
people have three million dollars
deposited in her banks is enough to
prove that thrift is a shining ele-
ment in their composition. That
the city boasts of the best equipped
street railway service in the North
west; that Uncle Sam has erected
a $4,000 federal building within
her gates; that it prides itself in the
possession of upwards of twenty
five churches with thirty-five church
societies; magnificent public
library; 500, 600 club house; great
mills and factories; magnificent
banks and public buildings; elegant
homes and a vigorous press, there
can be but little speculation as to
the quality of the soil, the value of
the farms and the reasons why real
estate men prosper; why they hustle
and toll to induce homeseekers to
locate on lands tributary to Wau

Wausau Cigar and Tobacco
Factory.

The difficulty of obtaining a really
fine cigar at a reasonable price has
passed into an axiom among the
lovers Of the weed in all cities Of the
United States. However, if pToier
care is taken to ask for the goods
manufactured at the Wausau Cigar
and Tobacco factory, a man need
not experience this difficulty, the
popularity of these goods being
found in the fact that their output
is 800, 900 cigars yearly and is
continually growing.

Mrs. Jacob is maintaining Wausau's

THE ANTS EGG TRADE.
Russian Gstherer Has Insects Help
Him in Collecting.

Ants eggs come in the main from
Russia. They are the best food OBJ
tainable for gold fish, and canaries
and other cage birds thrive on them
wonderfully. They cost about bO
cents a pint. In the forests OF south
ern Russia ant nests abound. The
Russian egg hunter does not do his
own collecting there-he makes the
poor ants do it for him. Selecting
hot, sunny day, the man first erects
little piles of twigs, a dozeo or more
of them, near the thickest colonies.
and then he kicks open all the nests
in the neighborhood. The ants know
that their eggs, thus exposed to the
sun would be made sterile In few
hours, and they take them up and
hurry to place them under the nearest
shelter The nearest shelter In, OF
course, the little pile Of twigs. and
under each of these there are soon
heaped the eggs from a hundred
nests. The egg hunter, after smoke
and nap, has nothing to do but gath
er up his spoil and dump 1t In his
sack. He ships the eggs in hundred
weight bags, all over the world.

Wausau Quartz Co.

When Wausau figures up its man.
ufacturing assets it points out the
Wausau Quartz Co. as one of the
city's best industrial advertisements,
because it is a model institution in
its line and controls trade covering
a large territory. With few excep-
tons the manufacturing industries
of Northern Wisconsin depend for
their existence and prosperity on
raw material, and the output of this
factory alone is no small factor in
keeping the railroad busy.
An institution that seems to have
gotten the greatest move on itself
and whose product is in great de-
mand, is that of the Wausau Quartz
Co., which succeeded the Wisconsin
Quartz Co., and is the pioneer in its
line in this city.
They have discovered an unrivalled
deposit of pure white quartzite on
Rib mountain, it being the only de-
post of the kind vest of New Jer-
sey and east of the Rocky Noun
tains. There is enough material to
keep the factory in operation for
centuries and its quality is not
eXcelled by that on any part of the
globe. When crushed, it is hard,
sharp, and angular and can be di-
vided into pure and even grades.
These grades are unequalled for the
manufacture of sandpaper for
grinding, rock plaster, glass, core
casting, sand blasts, rubbing, bird
gravel, cement testing, sand belts,
polishing, steel castings, poultry
grit and filtering. The quartz is
pure white, always breaking angular
and contains 80 per cent. pure silica,
there being no Objectionable imPur-
titles in it and no trace Of iron what.
ever.
300 acres and is located only a few
miles from the city, and the deposit
is an interesting freak of nature.
The supply is practically unlimited.
These products are shipped to all
parts of the United States to supply
institutions of all classes which use
such material. This class of mater
ial is fast coming into use by water
works companies for filtering pur-
poses, as they have found in years of
experiment that well ground and
crushed quartz, as pure and angular
as that manufactured By the Wau-
sau Quartz Co., is the most econom-
zeal and gives better satisfaction
than any other material that can
be secured.
The users of this kind of material
will find it to their advantage to
correspond with the Wausau Quartz
Co., for nowhere will they find
more satisfactory product at so low
a price.
The company is differed by D. J.
Murray, Pres. G. G. Yawkey, Vice
