BRUSH FACTORY TO
GO TO KALAMAZOO
Said that Gus Reidel will Move Busi-
ness from Paw Paw. Plans to 90
About MAY lst.

1t is reported that Gus Reidel, who is
the proprietor of fine brush factory
which is located near what was formerly
"Ackley lake." is about to move his
family and factory to Kalamazoo. There
are probably many people in this vicinity
who do not know that such an institu-
tion has existed in Paw Paw for several
years Mr.. Reidel is a splendid citizen,
quiet aud unassumIng, and has not made
a great noise about his business. Yet
his factory has been run on quite an eX
tensive scale, and the business in which
be is engaged has fourished He has
employed labor the year round, and has
done about $40, 600 worth of business a
year; yet be has never asked the people
of Paw Paw to give one cent of bonus
not even to furnish him a site.
1t is TO be regretted that such man
as Mr. Reidel, with the business be has
been conducting, is to leave us. The
enterprise is a valuable one, and it is to
be hoped that some ipducement can be
held out which will induce him to remain
in Paw Paw.
1t is Mr. Reidels intention to move to
Kalamazoo about the first of May.

LADY MINSTRELS
A GREAT SUCCESS
Opera House Crowded TO Hear Lady
"Black Face" Artists. Every
Participant a Star.

The Eastern Star minstrel entertain
ment was a decided success. On We'd
nesday evening the opera house was
crowded TO it's capacity and many were
turned away as every available seat was
occupied On account of the number
that were unable to gain admittance on
Wednesday evening the show was re-
peated on Thursday evening to we'll
filed house.
Every participant on the program is
worthy of special mention and it would
be hard to determine who who is entitled
to the most praise Every one proved
to be a star and was given a splendid re-
ception by the large and enthusiastic
audience. Each number was given a
hearty and cordial encore
The only out of town talent to assist,
with the exception of the director,
was Mrs. James II. johnson of South
Haven, who delighted the audience with
charming solo. She was forced to re-
spond to an encore
The entertainment was under the per-
sona direction of Harry r. Walker,
known as the Georgia Sunhower," and
he is an artist in his line of work.
Time aud space will not permit an ad-
equate description of the entertainment,
suffice il to say that it was the peer, if
not the superior of any amateur per-
formance ever given IN Paw Paw. Much
credit is due the director and everyone
who worked so hard to make the affair
the success that it was.
Mr. and Mrs Walker have made many
friends during their stay here and should
they ever decide to return to Paw Paw
the latch string will be out.
