Where there are so many merchants
in any particular line of trade there
must be one, who like the great "Na-
poleon," LEADS all the rest" The
house of J. j. Segal has SO long held
undisputed possession of first place that
its rival ask no better fortune than to
rank next. Each succeeding season
shows marked improvements, not only
in the proportions of stocks and sales,
but in all those little intricate details
that go to make up the whole of the
business. The resources of J. J. Segai
are practically limitless, and with con-
stantly increasing enterprise and ell
deayor, The Jimplecute has no doubt
that the "march of time' will show
greater progress than in the past.
There are few commercial enterprises
affording capacity for a wider range
or operations than house represent
ing a general line of merchandise.
Higher qualifications are necessary to
successfully manage a concern of this
kind than are necessary in an ordinary
one-line business, the field is larger,
there are more stores in one.
j. j. Segal has successfully conduct
ed the great general store of Jeffer-
son for the past ten years and he has
built mp a large trade that extends
in every direction from the city and
his name IS household word in every
norAe in Marion county, standing for
honest goods and fair prices, and this is
one of the secrets of his great popular
ity and success as a merchant.
Through bad times and good, his
house has stood, grown and prospered,
until to day the volume of business
transacted exceeds that done by any
one similar aouse in much larger
towns This store carries large and
classified stock of dry goods, dress
goods, notions, clothing, shoes, groceries
and general merchandise, to handle
which, and wait on the trade, requires
twenty-five people. In addition to the
above lines Mr.. Segal carries, in another
store on Polk street, full stock of
furniture and undertaker's goods. In
this store is to be found and educated
and hcessed embalmer and funeral di-
rector, who is IN a position to take full
charge of funerals and conduct them
in the latest and most approved man.

JEFFERSON BoTTLING WORKS.
J. M. beware, Jr., Manager-one of the
Most Popular Manufacturing In
situations in the City.

Prominent among the old establish
ed business Aand manufacturing COLI
Germs of our city is the Jefferson Bot
Ting Works, managed by Mr.. ]. M.
beware, Jr.
In this institution we have to deal
with concern that has in way made
history for Jefferson. 1t was established
thirty-eight years ago and has the
unique distinction of having been the
first artificial ice factory in all Texas,
from which ice was shipped to many
points in the State. Besides making
ice, it made what is popularity known
as "soda water or "pop," and there
are still living in jefferson and other
Texas towns men and women, who when
boys and girls, drank the delicious brew
and connections turned out by the JEFF
ferson Bottling Works. In those days
the carbonic acid gas had to be manu-
featured right here at home, the pro-
cess being intricate and exacting, but it
was successfully done, and the finished
drink was as wholesome and palatable
as any that is made today.
The business has now grown to such
proportions that Mr.. beware has deter
mined to add to the capacity of the
plant by installing more machinery be-
fore another busy season opens.
This is one of the most sanitary bot
Ting works the writer has ever seen,
for the water used is pure artesian,
coming from a depth of 800 feet, ,gush-
ing forth in flow of clear, sparkling
living water, and only absolutely pure
ingredients used to flavor the pure
water, the result is a perfectly delight
full, wholesome and stomach toning
beverage that cannot be surpassed.
All the well-known sodas are made
lemon, strawberry, sarsaparilla, winter
green, orange, etc. All who have test
ed these high class carbonated beverages
pronounce them Al. An extensive
trade is enjoyed among our local mer
chants, and in addition hundreds OF
cases are sold and shipped to Waskom
Leigh, Karnack, Kelleyville, Lassater
Orr's Switch, Avinger, Hughes Springs
Woodlawn, Lodi, Kildare and Bivins
while in addition to this wagon line
is maintained to the great oil fields
twenty-five miles way which trans
ports two hundred cases of Mr.. De
wares famous drinks every week that
are eagerly looked for and consumed
by the thirsty workers there.
At present the plant consists of two
bottling machines, one crown and one
spring top, which have a capacity OF
seventy-five cases, twenty-four to the
case, daily.
To those of our readers who reside
in Jefferson and vicinity, we suggest
that You make it point to ask for ant
