THEY HONORED HIM
n. Il. Hull Elected President of Mich
igau Retail Jewellers Association.

y. Il. Hull Elected President of Mich
igan Retail Jewellers Association.
There is one thing that is very evident
at this time and that is the fact that in
the business world the Belding business
men cut more than the ordinary figure in
the eyes of Michigan business men. The
late T. Frank Ireland was elected presi-
dent of the Michigan Retail Hardware
Dealers association, and later president of
the National association. E. E. Doty, our
world famous photographer has carried
off the highest honors wherever his work
has been shown and is still rakng in the
honors. Brinton F. Hall was elected
president of the Michigan Manufacturers
association last year and no one has been
elected as yet to take his place and still
the honors fall among US.
At the annual meeting of the Michigan
Retail Jewellers association held in Detroit
last week, our hustling young bushes
man, A. B. Hull, was elected president of
the association for the ensuing year, and
the members Of the association did not
stop at this but also elected him dele
gate to the National Retail Jewellers asso-
citation which convenes in Cincinnati IN
| August These two honors came to Mr.
| Hull unsolicited and are just another evil
dence of the popularity of our hustling
wide-awake business men.

THE DRAINAGE DITCH
Petition Granted By Supervisors
Though Case May Be Appealed.

The board of supervisors has deter
drainage petition case in favor of the
petitioners All claims for damages,
aggregating about five thousand dol
lars are disallowed. The cross petit
tion of Joe Prime is dismissed without
prejudice.
The action of the board of super
visors would enable the petitioners to
proceed with the proposed improve
ments but the end of the case is not
yet. The case will. in all probability
be appealed from the action of the
board of supervisors and will be taken
into the district court for further hear
ing. Notice of appeal will have the
effect of stopping the proposed work
until the cas- has a hearing in the
courts.
The case was brought by H. B. Nell
son, Leo belong, Norman Patrick, G..
A. Porter, w, A. aoyt, and ]. H..
Shultz. The properties OF these pen-
TONERS were made TO constitute a
drainage district The land is located
in the southwest part Of the county
on the north side of Des laoines river.
In wet seasons or when the water Is
high the drainage flows over the Mel.

Is created. In the words of the petit
lion, the land in question Is subject

and Second street, which by the way
are known all over the state and the
middle west, was necessary. The bus.
mess being done by Mr.. Mcclure had
already outgrown the old quarters,
The shop was too small to accommo-
date more than five cars at one time
and during the past summer the shop
has been compelled to turn away from
three to FIVE cars weekly on account
of lack of space in which to handle
the business. With the new accom-.
modations and practically $4,000 feet
of floor space, the house can accom-
modate fifty cars at one time and the
shops will be enabled to handle ten
or more cars at one time. This will
also mean a great increase in work
ing force, machinists, employees in the
several departments, etc.
With the additional floor space the
new garage viii carry large stock
of electric as we'll as gasoline cars
for immediate delivery.
Under the new contract there will
be over 200 cars handled through our
Oskaloosa house and all departments
win be enlarged and forces increased
about 100 per cent. During the past
season the Oskaloosa mouse employed
Is people in all departments, and the
coming year will employ about 20.
The Ottumwa branch will be Contin-
ued as before and the business for the
southern part of the state will be
handled at that point.
The jobbing department will be
greatly increased and special atten-
ton will be given to the handling of
hurry up orders for both the whole
sale and retail trade who will be ben
Gifted by prompt attention and quick
delivery. Special provision will be
made for the immense stock OF tires
to be carried which will be a cool,
dark place in the basement as recon,
mended by the makers. Long distance
telephone booths will be installed for
handling long distance business with
out interruption.
In fact there will be no effort spared
to make the entire plant a modern
and up-to-date place in every respect
and when completed the public will
and that Oskaloosa will have the I'm
est and most complete garage in the
state. Owners. of Buick cars will then
be able TO secure any part or piece of
a Butch car in the least possible
time and the automobile public in
general will be benefited in every
way.
During the coming season there will
be a number of touring cars kept ex-
clusively for livery business and will
be at the service of the public day
and night. The demand for cars for
rent has increased many times during
the past few years and has come TO
the point where it will pay to provide
for it.
There will be some one in the build.
ing day and night and the public will
be able to secure the same attention
at night as possible in the day.
During the winter months there
viii be a light corner set aside for
a paint shop and an expert painter
and finisher will be employed to han
die this work with the same results
as though the car were sent to the
factory.
