CONSOLIDATED WAGON AND MA.
CHINE COMPANY

The local branch of the CONSOLIDATE
ed Wagon and Machine company, To-
Gated at the corner of Idaho and
North Main streets, enjoys an extern
sive patronage which is strictly in
keeping with the excellent reputa-
ton borne by this well known firm
throughout the intermountain region.
The Blackfoot branch is housed in
a substantial brick building, which
has over $3.50 square feet of floor
space available for the display of its
immense stock which includes, the
famous Overland and Velie automo-
biles, Balm, Cooper and Weber wa
ons, Mccormick farm machinery
John Deere plows, Velie vehicles, an
extensive line of guaranteed hand
seWed harness, sadd1ery, Stewart
stoves and ranges, and in the light
hardware department, shelf goods,
cutlery, tin and graniteware, guns,
ammunition, fishing tackle etc.
This firm is the largest buyer and
seller of goods in it's lines west of the
Rocky mountains, which largely eX-
plains its ability to undersell it's COM
petitors, as by buying in mammoth
quantities it can buy cheaper and
consequently sell cheaper than they.
Merely a repetition of the success of
such famous firms as John Wanna
maker and Marshall Field.
Mr.. j. A. Martin is the very able
manager of the local branch, and as
he would necessarily be responsible
for decrease in the company's local
business, so just as certainly should
he be given credit for the healthy
growth of the business since he took
the management four years ago
Aside from his connection with the
Consolidated Wagon and Machine
company, Mr.. Martin is an extensive
dealer in live stock, and during the
past year he turned over $4,000
worth of hogs and cattle.
Mr.. Martin is a true example of
the western hustler-the type of men
that are making this section of Idaho
so well known as the land of enter
prise and opportunity.

at the corner of Bridge and Taylor
streets.
Patrons of this market, are not

compared with the high meat prices
which almost universally prevail.
This firm handles most complete

The market is equipped with modern
refrigerator cabinets for the display
and preservation of meats, and is d

To the proprietor, Mr.. l.. B. Dore,

more important in the way of edibles
than meats-and the satisfaction of
knowing that they are clean and
wholesome and just as represented is
worth the legendary kings ransom.

speaks volumes for the thrift and en-

great Snake river valley.
The total capital and surplus of the
