account of the success of the Keller
Manufacturing Co., in establishing
their wagon factory at that place:
Ground broken March 26.

The foregoing is the record of the
Keller Manufacturing Company,
whose president, Henry Keller, came
to Joplin eight months ago. seeking a
new field for great enterprise and
and who, being favorably impressed
by the advantages offered by South
west Missouri and Joplin, determined
to engage here in the manufacture
and distribution of wagons of various
design, including the "Keller
wagon" described by Mr.. Keller him
self as the best in the world. SWAY

which is contagious.

the Keller Manufacturing Company
on West Fourth street, near the city
limits, were engaged in loading the
first consignment of the finished pro-
duct of the concern, car of fifty
vehicles, which were forwarded last
night to the John Deere Plow Com

great commercial world that Joplin,
the town that jack built, is on the
map, that the city and the district is
tending more and more to become q

characterized as visionary.

covered about twenty years, she never
taught with board equal to them.
Always on the alert to help the
teachers; never SO engrossed in their
business that they couldn't spend
time to visit the school. They knew
just what was being done. Their
interest was communicated to the
school patrons, and a record of one
hundred twenty-five visitors in one
month was not unusual. So ac-
customed we're the pupils to visitors
that it caused not ripple of excite
ment.
Prof. Cook was a strict disciplinarian
and q stickler for punctuality. He
preferred to mark pupil absent for q
quarter of . day; to tardy for five
minutes.
Seldom does professor do for a
school what he accomplished in his
two years and five months here. 1t
was great work, and cannot be fully
estimated. The influence of his life
and work here was stamped upon the
lives OF the young people of that time,
and in almost every instance they
have proved themselves a credit to his
teaching and to the world.

timers" to Zee his face and read Of
