Employment is given almost exclusive

the full year. The new location will
be much more convenient than the
present one for handling the product

invoicing and making repairs to ma

are given employment The retention
Of this factory for keokuk is very
pleasing as assiduous efforts have

Mr.. Weeks stands pre-eminent in the
lyceum world as an original and YER
satiIe entertainer. His offerings are
almost entirely his own composition
and run the entire gamut of things
musical and numerous. There is
withal gentle refinement about his
humor and here and there, blended
with it, is touch of pathos and the
driving home of homely truth which
proves that real mirth has it's true
mission.
He has a voice of unusual range
