JEFFERSON FOUNDRY AND MA
CHINE SHOPS.
Nothing too Small for Our Careful At
tention and Nothing Too Large
For Us to Undertake.

The rapid growth and expansion of
Jefferson is strongly emphasized by the
establishment of the Jefferson Foundry
and Machine Shops. This enterprise is
owned and conducted by a man of abil-
ity and experience who has done much
to advance the material interests of
the city. This plant was established
in 1890 by G. B. Mcdonald, the father
of the present owner. The site occupied
by the present buildings, has for over
forty years, been the location of a
plant working in iron. The jefferson
Foundry and Machine Shops has always
been recognized as leading establish
ment OF its kind, and has enjoyed a
large and very satisfactory trade, which
has, been built up by turning out only
first-class work at reasonable prices.
Z. B. Mcdonald, J. T. Mcdonald and
G. B. Mcdonald, Jr., the sons of the
founder of this plant were all practical
ly raised in the business and have be-
come machinists, mechanics and bust
ness men or more than ordinary ability.
J. 7. Mcdonald is president and man
ager of the Jefferson Ice, Light Y Power
Company, and G. B. Mcdonald owns
and conducts foundry and machine
shop at Longview, Texas, while z. B.
Mcdonald now owns and mar ages -ne
foundry and machine shops established
by his father. This Establishment
would be credit to any town, not even
excepting Fort Worth or Dallas. 1t

MIR. ALLEN URQUHART.
One of Our Prominent Business Men
Enterprising Citizens and Sue
cessful Merchants.

AS our country grows older and all
ments and disease become more preva
lent, greater attention is paid pharma-
eeutical excellence, and the people are
fast learning to depend upon the drug
gist to administer and compound prep
arations of relief and other remedies.
A high standard of excellence and per-
lection in pharmacy is maintained by
the enterprise owned and conducted by
Mr.. Allen Urquhart. This store takes
front rank in all that pertains to purity
and accuracy in drugs. The stock car
ried is singularly complete, and is of a
high order. Drugs, medicines, proprie
tary goods, toilet articles, druggists
sundries, stationery, books, cut glass,
hand painted china, paints, oils, varnish
-es, etc, are carried, and all sold at
prices which defy competition. This
drug store is first class in every respect
and IL one of the most popular business
houses in Jefferson. A pleasing fea
ture of Mr.. Urquhart's popularity and
success in our city which deserves more
than ordinary mention, is the care ana
attention given to the selection of his
goods. In all the extensive stock car
ried there is not one single article Of
merchandise or drugs the excellency
and purity of which cannot be vouched
for. Mr.. Urquhart is pharmacist of
twenty-six years. practical experience.
In addition to his other efficient work,
Mr.. Urquhart is an experienced expert
in the compromising of prescriptions.
This house is a favorite with our To-
cal physicians as we'll as all citizens.
Among the up-to-date, metropolitan bus
mess concerns of Jefferson, none stands
out more prominently than does the drug
store of Allen Urquhart. Pride has
been taken by Mr.. Urquhart to give the
people of Jefferson a drug store of
which they might justly feel proud,
sand it is evident that he has succeeded
in his efforts.
For two years he has been in the
New Moseley block.
Mr.. Urquhart is descendant of the
pioneer of Jefferson who blazed the
way for the many thousands who came
after him. The city of Jefferson today
is: laid out largely. on the land plated
and owned by Mr.. Urquhart's grand
father, who also bore the name of

those who come within this category in
the grat furniture house of G. T. Hag-

This edition will undoubtedly find its

To those who may. contemplate an
investment in real estate in this local

are guaranteed to be just as represented
and are sold at price that are fair and
reasonable. There is no store in this
section Of the State that carries a
larger or better stock and the citizens
of Jefferson are to be congratulated
upon having access to so complete a
trade emporium as is Mr.. J. J. Segal s
establishment.
Mr.. Segal has done more than any
one person to make Jefferson a popular
! trade center and cotton market. He
buys ninety-five per cent of the cotton
that comes to this city, always paying
the highest market price. Other buy
ers have found it hard to compete with
him in securing the white staple, as
his liberal buying drives them out of
the local market.
The Jimplecute is pleased to note the
success of Mr.. Segal's large and 1T
tractive store as it shows what can De

forts, backed by ample capital. /

most modern and up-todate machinery
and facilities for the manufacture of
saw mill work of all kinds, tram en-
gines, pumps, boilers, logging ears, etc.
Brass castings are made to order and
repair work of all kinds is promptly
done at reasonable prices. One enter
ing this shop is at once struck by the
extent and variety of the machinery
and he soon learns that he is in an
establishment that has few equals in
the State.
Occupying a prominent position is
a large 42-inch lathe. At another point
a 32-ineh lathe, a 14-ineh lathe, be-
sides two shapers, four power drills,
6-ineh pipe machines, power hack
saw, bolt threading machine and a
number of other machines and devices
too numerous to mention, all of which
aids the mechanic to do in minutes what
formerly required hours and days by
hand. There is no more complete
or efficient foundry and machine
shop in northeast Texas. The power
is furnished by one nine-horse- power
gasoline engines and two three-horse
power engine. The saw mills in the
vicinity of Jefferson furnish this fac
tory with the bulk of the work done
and Mr.. Mcdonald has all the work
furnished him that he can conveniently
do. There is in fact no concern better
prepared to furnish mill supplies than is
this establishment. A large and varied
stock is carried of lubricators, iniectors,
jets, steam guages, water columns, oil
cups, grease cups, babbitt metal and
aly
whistles, together with everything
needed in or about mills of all kinds.
Mr.. Mcdonald is known far and wide
as machinist and mechanic of ability
and experience and he has all the ia
cllities for turning out all kinds of
work. He has an excellent library of
technical works and lis prepared to
handle any sized job that comes to the
shop. Plans and estimates are furnish,
ed on all kinds of work, and parts are
made for any kind of machine or engine
Mr.. Mcdonald has the finest assortment
of machinery patterns, the accumula
lions of years, and can promptly turn
out duplicate of these castings on short
notice. He also has a fine equipment
of dies, taps, reamers, etc, in fact any
thing necessary for handling any con
tract he feels disposed to take. Our
citizens should congratulate themselves
on having so finely equipped foundry
and machine shop in Their midst, as il
is great convenience and advantage
in building up the city. This is a home
enterprise backed by home man and
an institution that advertises the city Is
name weherever the products of the
factory are sent. 1t should receive the
patronage of all who have the interest
of Jefferson at heart and given every
encouragement in the power of the
people. The Jimplecute is pleased tc
give the Jefferson Foundry and Ma
chine Shops prominent mention in its
business history of the city as it is
typical of the substantial character OF
our establishments and is a credit to
the town, and its founder and owner
as well.

THE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL

Good banking facilities are the life

Jefferson and Marion's county's past

complete did it not contain reference
commendatory to that sound and safe

The officers of the bank are J. B.

president; w. j. Sedberry, vice-presi-
dent; W. T. Nelson, cashier, and A.
E. Walker, assistant cashier. While all
these gentlemen are highly esteemed
by all who know them, and are thor

mention is due Cashier Nelson, this
gentleman is more directly connected
with the banks business. He is we'll
and favorably known throughout this
section of the State, and the able, con-
scientious manner in which he has
treated all patrons of the bank has
won for him many friends. Congenial
and obliging at all times, he is ever
ready to make known the material ad-
vantages to be derived from patroniz-

while as a banker he has evidenced a
knowledge of finance which reflects
credit not alone upon himself, but the
town as WELL
Taken as a whole, The Commercial
National Bank is popular with both
our citizens, and the farmers in this
locality, with the result, that it is
accorded high place in thhe estimation
anu minds of the people at large.
The officers and directors are all
men of hustle and ambition, who take
a personal pride in Jefferson and Ma

of their bank, and it is doubtful if any
oil our citizens have done more for the
welfare of Jefferson than have these
men.

of Polk and Lafayette streets. It has
been established since the year, 1902,
