The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1910-04-29

H. Plowhead would cast an eye on a
man and then, taking his money was
like falling off a log. No wonder
Mr.. Plowhead is a successful banker.
He would be a success at anything.
He has the right spirit, the energy
and enthusiasm to get results at any
calling. He is a representative type
of the community, and in saying that
/ we f1atter the business man generally
rather than Mr.. PIowhead personally.
But he could not do it if the people
were not of the right mould. You
go into a bank and you run up
against men like Clark, Smell, Camp
bell and Simpson. If they are not at
home wou lose nothing because you
will find men like Wiley, Ollie and
Plowhead guarding the ramparts.
They are men who have at heart Lht
good of the community and are will
ling to help in its upbuilding. You
drop into a clothing store and find
Kelleher, Kahn or Merritt awaiting
you and pleased that you are there.
They come through with the coin so
willingly that you want to go back
and get a little more, and you can
do that too if it be necessary or eX-
pedient. Then you kind of DRIFT
into a dry goods store. If that store
ho 10 = -
Fair you will miss nothing by the
visit. These gentlemen pungle up in
a manner highly creditable to them
selves and the community. All you
have to do is to show that you have
at heart the interests and welfare of
Caldwell. It's not SO much the money
they subscribe as the manner in
which they do it that appeals to us.
The hardware men are the same and
lantyne with his perennial smile,
Fred Boyes, handsome and good ma
tured, Maxey & Schnabel, young men,
willing and anxious to help in
the good cause. If all the business
men of Caldwell were hardware
dealers, life would be a snap. The
grocers are just as good and a lit
tie better We wish they were all
grocers. Just at present Doan &
Hay are the deans of the grocery bus
mess in Caldwell. They got started
first but Ackley and Cook, Baker &
Harris and McArtor are coming on
now and show evidence Of giving the
early business men of Caldwell run
for their money, in public spirit, en-
terprise and city pride. There should
be more grocers in Caldwell. The
business seems to make good men
out of it's deVotees. But when you
come to good men Caldwell certainly
has them in every line of industry,
profession and trade. There are the
implement dealers. B. M. Holt sells
implements, runs the Touring mill
and presides over the Commercial
Club. He likes to crack little joke
now and again, but otherwise he is
a pretty good citizen. If Holt isn't
in Cowden or Watkins is sure to be
and they are some men themselves.
Then you go up to Jesse B. Gowen
who has associated with him couple
of Won Washers. These gentlemen
are really among the best in Caldwell
and that is the limit. The implement
dealers are a little the best that is.
At this time we do not wish to fin
ish up the whole bunch. In running
a newspaper the great thing is to
another secret. In order to do that
you want to keep the best for the
last. This we have done and in an
early issue will take up the drug
gists, real estaters, bankers and
other professional men, milliners,
printers and councilmen
and such other whatnots as properly
come within our scope. We have re-
served the real things for thte last.
At this time we simply wish to
commend the business men generally
upon their public spirit. They have
certainly shown themselves broad,
capable men of affairs. With such
men at the head Caldwell cannot help
but go ahead by leaps and bounds
the next year. A spirit of hope, con-
fidence and security is at large in
this city. Everything is moving along
in fine shape and will so continue for
the next few years. There is nothing
on earth that can hold Caldwell back.
Land Restored.
