Keith cement contractors, have quilt
over three miles of cement walk IN
Blackfoot. The headquarters of this
firm are in Boise, but the people OF
Blackfoot have been so well pleased
with the quality of the work done
by them, that both Mr.. White and Mr..
Keith have spent the greater portion
of the past year in the Grove City

which they keep twelve men constant
ly employed.
Although its operations have been
confined to the building of sidewalks
recently, the firm does all kinds of
cement work. The mammoth cement
oil tank, with capicity for 19,40O
gallons of Oil, on the Manville &
Hurst fruit ranch near Boise was con-
structed by White e Keith. They al
so had the contract for building the
cement plunges and bath rooms which
are operated in connection with the
resort house at the Kelley Hot springs
near Boise, Idaho.
AS matter of fact those are few
concerns more competent than White
& Keith to undertake the most diff
ficult cement construction. Messrs.
White and Keith are enthusiastic over
the possibilities of this section, and
are seriously considering the Grove
City as their permanent residence.

BOND BROTHERS & COMPANY

Of prime importance to the farmer
is the market for his crops. In this
respect is Blackfoot particularly fort
innate with such firm as Bond Broth
ers & Company in the field as buyers.
This firm is one of the most extern
sive handlers of hay, grain and pota-
toes in the Snake river valley. Dur
ing the past year they shipped over
225 cars of produce and preparations
are being made for handling much
more this season. This firm owes its
success and popularity to the fact
that it has practiced the square
deal" doctrine and has thus built up
an excellent reputation.
The members of the company are
T. G.. Bond, president; j. H. Bond,
secretary and treasurer and J. q.
Bond, manager All three gentle
men are progressive, and are of the
type that do things in this country
where there is yet much to do. Mr..
J. G, Bond takes an active interest in
public affairs and at the present time
is serving as a mSmber of the city
council. In speaking of the Snake
river country Mr.. j. G. Bond says:
when land produces from three to
seven hundred bushels of potatoes to
an acre, it is hardly necessary to eX-
plain further why the Snake river val
ley is the greatest arming section in
the country

MIR. FRED T. HINES-THE CASH
GROCERY

The New Cash Grocery which was
established October LIST, 1909, is a
store that in every respect reflects
the enterprise of the proprietor, Mr..
Fred r. Hines. The business was
originally established by Messrs. c..
F. HUMPHREYS and L. G. Wells, and
soon after Mr.. Hines became associ-
ated with them. Then Mr.. Hum
phries relinquished his interests to
engage in the restaurant business
and the firm became Wells & Hines.
However, quite recently Mr.. Hines
has taken over the interests of Mr..
Wells and thereby becoming sole
owner. Mr.. Wells will give his at
tention to farming in the future.
Mr.. Fred T. Hines, besides being
active in business affairs, is also well
known in fraternal circles, and is a
member of the A. o. U. w. and the
Modern Woodmen Of America. Pre-
vious to coming to BalckfoOt. Mr.
Hines was resident of Sedan, kas.,
and was very prominent in bus
mess and public life in Chautauqua
county, where he was Register of
Deeds and later he became cashier
of the First National Bank of Moline
but was compelled to sever his con-
nections with that institution on ac-
count of a desire to seek a more fav-
orable climate for his daughter
health. TO say that he is much
pleased with Snake River Valley eli
mate and opportunities is expressing
it mildly. To quote his own words,
There is no more perfect climate
than in the Snake River Valley. and
nowhere are there greater opportuni-
ties
It is men like the above, who have
been instrumental in building up a
business that would be the pride of
many older concerns, that are re-
sponsible for the wonderful growth
and expansion of this great irrigated
empire. And to such men the peo-
pie of this community always extend
a hearty welcome.

stock. An up-to-date shoe repairing
shop is also conducted in connection

e,ed over the greater portion of the
United States, and to use his own eX-
preston, he has been unable to find

J. II. MCDONALD, REAL ESTATE

J. H. Mcdonald, the real estate
dealer and his business is today un-
disputable evidence that man in
business can be conservative and yet
progressive. 1t is owing to the COM
bnation of these two policies adopted
by Mr.. Mcdonald seven years ago
when he embarked in the real estate
business in Blackfoot, that has en-
abled him to build up the extensive
real estate business he today posses
SEES. Had MIR. Mcdonald been other
wise than progressive he would never
have seen the opportunities for in
vestment in BlackfOot real estate.
And had he not been conservative his
splendid record of never having in
losing proposition would not stand
today as a monument to his wonder
full foresight and business sagacity
Mr.. Mcdonald handles both farm
lands and city property, and he is
credited with having negotiated some
of the largest deals ever put through
in the Snake river valley. Mr. Nc
Donald has the disposition of the four
hundreds lots in the Mcdonald add
ton to his credit-and muchs to his
satisfaction as well as the lucky pur-
chasers these lots have more than
hundred lots in the Mcdonald add
them. AS another illustration of Lis
extensive operations he has sold TO
one man alone over two hundred
thousand dollars worth of real estate
which has since more than doubled
in value.
1t would be but natural if Mr.. Nc
Donald was an enthusiastic B ackfoot
booster-the very nature Of his bust
ness would demand it-but he is just
flied in his confidence of the future
greatness of this wonderland-a con-
fidence that comes only to one who
has seen land that a few years ago
would hardly grow sagebrush. today
