Central Paper c..

If proofs were needed that Wau-
sau is one of the best business cities
in Northern Wisconsin, no stronger
one could be taken than the prog
ress made by the wholesale firms.
There are many such firms in this
city and they are all prosperous,
their travelling men covering terri
tory throughout the United States.
Such has been the growth of the
Central Paper Co. which was incor-
porated about two and a half years
ago, and is supplying the trade
throughout Northern Wisconsin.
They are jobbers of paper, paper
bags, brooms, brushes, stationery,
school supplies, etc. They have two
statesmen calling on the trade at
regular intervals and they are ex-
ceedingly liberal in their dealings
with their customers, selling goods
at as low figures as the market will
allow. Through their territory these
facts are known and the result is
their steadily increasing monthly
volume of business. The members
of this firm are residents of Wausau
and are all public spirited men, ever
ready to assist in any enterprise cal
culated to advance the city's inter
ests. They include J. III. Johannes,
Pres. Louis Wiechman, Vice-Pres.;
r. H. Genrich, Treas, and f. j.
Gohdes, Sec. Their office is located
at 211 Main street.

prosperity of this community.
One of the foremost in this re-

held in the highest esteem and con-

a general banking business, utiliz-
ing every modern system which in
any way tends to enhance or benefit
financial transactions, and that its
efforts are appreciated by the mer-
camille and manufacturing COM

viduals. is evidenced by the large
and influential accounts it carries.
The German American bank was
established in 1892 as national

A modern city in every sense of
the word, Wausau has sufficient ad-

There is an abundance of good, pure

Wausau Novelty Co.

This is one of the most stable
corporations of Wausau and its
business has grown so rapidly that
the promoters of the concern can
hardly meet the demand from the
great trade centers.
The company manufactures
wooden novelties including music,
sewing, medicine and spice cabinets;
commodes; tabourettes; tables; foot
stools; children chairs; camp chairs;
settees; wash benches; clothes bars;
ironing and bread boards, etc, etc.
The company was established and
incorporated in 1892 and its past
history reveals a steady and sure
development From a small begin
ming, the business prospered, orders
came rushing in and large plant
became necessary and each year
the capacity has been increased, new
machinery installed and a large
number of workmen employed. The
output of the plant will easily reach
800, 900 annually and the pay roll
in WausaG alone amounts to about
$2, 500 per month.
The factory proper covers a floor
space of Is, 900 50. ft. and about ten
acres of ground is used for the stor-
age of surplus lumber.
The Wausau Novelty Co. ships
goods to every part of the world
and they issue an annual catalog

W. H. NabIo.
MAKER OF MEMS CLOTHES.

At this time of the year most
men are looking about for first
class tailor to make them a fall or
winter suit, and many Wausau gen

Wisconsin Valley Trust Co.

This excellent monetary institu-
ton which the PILoT takes pride in
heralding to the readers of this
special edition, does a general trust
company business in all its various
branches, covering Marathon and
surrounding counties, and is pre-
pared to handle satisfactorily any
business with which it may be
entrusted.
The Wisconsin Valley Trust Co.,
was fully organized January 1st, 1907,
and the incorporators and stock
holders are members of the firm of
Kreutzer, Bird & Rosenberg, who
have been engaged in the business
of loaning money for clients for
the past fifteen years, all having
engaged in the same business in
different partnerships until 1900.
1t is not a bank, and does not do
a banking business, but receives
money on deposit and issues its
certificates, paying 4 per cent. in
terest. This money the law re-
quires to be loaned out on good real
estate mortgages, or very approved
collateral security, every dollar of
it.
The Trust Company benefits
those who are laying by each week
a few dollars that will take care of
them in old age and provides a
place of absolute safety for the
money deposited.
One purpose of the Trust Com
pany is to take entire charge of
estates, to act as guardian, exc
cutor, administrator or trustee. In
all these capacities the manage
ment has had much experience, and
together with large capital and sur
plus, and an ample deposit of secur-
tiles with the state authorities,
gives to those interested assurance
of efficiency, security and economy
in the management of their estates.
Where it acts as executor, guard
ian or other trustee, it must keep
such funds separate from its gener-
al investments. 1t invests such
moneys in the same kind of securi-
ties as its other funds, crediting
the full proceeds to the trust ac-
count and receiving for its services
the sum allowed by law to such
trustee for SO doing. 1t is plain
that with its large experience and
being in the loaning business, it
thus has exceptional opportunities
to realize on such trust funds the
best possible income consistent with
safety.
All of its business is under the
supervision and annual examination
by the state banking department,
thus securing to the management
their satisfaction, and to the public
the protection, which such intelli-
gent public and private auditing
and examination affords.
This company is now constructing
what will be very handsome build
ing at the corner of Fourth and
Scott streets. 1t will be 40x65 feet,
three stories high and the only real
modern, up-to-date and strictly fire
proof building this side of Oshkosh.
The exterior is of terra Gotta, SINH
lar to the Wells building of Milwau-
kee, and the building will be fur
nished with the most secure burglar
and fire proof vaults.
The history of the nine months
of existence of the Wisconsin Valley
Trust Co., is proof positive of the
hold it has on the people, and this
has been accomplished by the
honorable, intelligent and liberal
policy its officers have pursued
The officers of this company are
A. L. Kreutzer, Pres. M. B. Rosen-
berry, Vice-Pres c. B. Bird, Sec'y
and Treas.

Closely allied with the growth
and deyelopement of any city is the
progress and upbuilding of it's bank
ing institutions. In no case is this
more clearly illustrated than in the
Marathon County bank, which was
established in 1875. The extent of
business carried on in Wausau re-
quires strong financial backing to
facilitate the transaction of its
CON pI Iercidl affairs, and with the
conservative and careful manage
ment which characterizes this bank,
it enjoys a large business. The
Marathon County bank does a
general banking business, offering a
safe, secure and profitable place for
the investment of funds, and a con-
venient and reliable medium for
merchants and manufacturers to
transact their business.
The building in which the bank is
located was constructed especially
for the banking business, and its
vaults are of the most secure type.
The officers of this bank are,
Alexander Stewart, Pres. Chas. w.
Harger, VicePres., and K. G.
Zimmerman, cashier, who, with
Walter Alexander and VIM. Il.
Scholfeld, form the board of direc-
tors. All of the above are broad
minded business men who have con-
tributed largely to the material
prosperity of the city of Wausau,
not only in their capacity as officers
of the bank, but in their private in
terests as well.
The Marathon County bank re-
ssectfully solicites the patronage of
those wishing to open an account,
or contemplating change in exist
ing banking arrangements.

HADFlELD HALL, PhOPklEIOhe.
Since the opening of this theatre
under the able management of B.
Hadfeld and HI. A. Hail, the Wau-
sau public has been treated to a
series of entertainments that have
been representatives of the highest
standard and during the coming
winter season the firm will endeavor
to hold tls.s reputation and secure a
merited patronage for their house.
The theatre is located on the
northeast corner of Scott and Sec
ond streets, and is comfortably fitted
up and is a desirable place to enjoy
a first class moving picture show
The newest and Jest moving pic
lures obtainable are shown at this
place, and the theatre is open for
matinees every Saturday and Sun
day at 2:30 and every evening at

which give ample protection against
any of the dangers to which a
private house is necessarily exposed.
These boxes are of various sizes, the
rental ranging in price from 200

heated and ventilated by the most
approved system.
The National German American
bank makes prompt and economical
collections, draws drafts on foreign
countries, has a fully equipped saw
ings department and does every
sort of business that comes within
the province of a first class banking
institution. They earnestly solicit
the accounts of banks, bankers,
firms, corporations and individuals,
and offer every inducement consis-
tent with conservative banking.
The officers are B. Heinemann,

Recent Industrial Strides Have Been Without Precedent

When improvements in business
conditions warrant community in
declaring its prosperity to the world
at large, for the purpose of increas-
ing general confidence, it is fitting,
that the representative commercial
interests of that community should
formulate policy by which that
community may become more widely
known abroad, and thereby enhance
the value of its progress.
We therefore desire these pages
to proclaim that this improvement
in business conditions has manifest
ed itself in Wausau, that Il new
and brighter era has dawned, and
that no other city in the state of
fers present advantages and future
prospects to investors and home
seekers more inviting than Wausau.
In Wausau today the demand for
real estate is active, manufacturing
industries are growing, retail trade
is prosperous.
We believe this an opportune
time to show to the world what
Wausau possesses in the way of
IN anufacturies, mercantile institu-
tions, banks, professions, educa-
tional facilities, etc.
No better illustration of the
growth and progress of the United
States can be found anywhere,
within its borders than the cities of
Wisconsin. They arpear to have
attained a degree of prosperity that
is constantly reaping the rewards of
thriving industry, and, where
coupled with a love of attractive
surroundings, beautiful dwellings
and broad streets, they are among
the most inviting places of residence
that can be found. No city in the
state offers more prolific theme
for favorable comment than does
WauSau. Its fine location, the
great natural resources of the sur
rounding country and the excellent
transportation facilities, have been
the most potent factor in her
growth and development. The sue
cess of the industrial concerns To-
Gated here has often been a source OF
comment and surprise. 1t is with
deep interest that the loyal citizens
of Wausau view the rapid strides
that our city has taken within the
past few years, and contemplate it:
promising future. The bushes,
men have enjoyed large increased
trade, 4 number of new stores hav,
been opened, and the city ha
