the great demand for poultry and
the good prices paid for eggs and

do not go into the poultry business.

The commercial history of Prescott discloses no
business house which for the time 1t has been
established has gained greater favor with the public
and attracted attention than that of the
Scott-Mayer Commission Co. house of this city.
The stock occupies spacious and commodious quar-
tiers in the Scott building, the west side of the
track, and is large and complete-capable of sup
plying every demand of the grocery stores in the
southwestern part of the state, which territory it
covers completely The parent house, in Little
Rock, has a capital stock of $500 900 with also
large branch house at Hot Springs The
pany has for years been leader in the wholesale
grocery trade of the entire state, and from the
start. February LIST, of this year the Prescott
branch of the house has been a success, and
important and growing factor in the trade of an
extensive territory tributary to this city. The
locating of such an important wholesale house in
our midst is but another evidence and recognition
of the fact that city occupies central and com
handing position distributing point in one Of
the most valuable trade territories of the state,
and aside from the prestige and trade advantages
the locating of such industry means to our city
it is a matter of great convenience TO Prescott
merchants as we'll as to those of the many smaller
towns and trading points around for man%
miles An immense Wholesale stock is carried,
consisting, in the aggregate. of a line of the most
popular and high-grade goods in staple and fancy
groceries, coming from the foremost manufacture
ers and other sources Of supply. Among the many
lines In the house the Omega Flour
