NEW BUSINESS VENTURE.
De nison Young Men Start New eak-
cry on East 6roadway-Wisf Rum
Pie and Bread Wagon.

A new business enterprise has been
launched in Denison this week, which
will be known as the Home bakery.
H. F. Harthun, Otto Andersen and 4.
S. Mcbride are the proprietors of the
new concern, which bids fair to make
a success in the baking business in
this city. The new concern opened
up for business this morning in the
Sonksen building on East Broadway.
The room is especially adapted for
the conducting of bakery as there
has been installed in that building for
some time a large bake oven. The
proprietors tell us that they will have
a bread wagon, which will make daily
calls to every home in the city SO that
the busy housewife may have bread
delivered to her door without the
trouble of telephoning for it or of
walking up town for her supplies.
They will do regular baking bus
mess and inform us that at all times
their bake rooms will be open for
inspection to the public. The new firm
is indeed a strong one. Mr. Otto
Andersen will have charge of the
baking. He has been engaged in this
work for some time and has been
employed by the S. P. Jacobsen bak-
cry here. F. S. Mcbride, who has
been employed by the Geo. Menagh
Co. for over year, will be a good
manager, and we suppose that H. F..
Harthun will have charge of the adj
vertising end of the business, as his
experience in the office of the Deni-
son Zeitung will prove beneficial.
The new firm have an ad in this
issue of the Review. We trust that
the firm will be successful

BARN BURNS TO GROUND.
LARGE Structure Belonging to Henry

Struck by Lightning.

Dir. Henry Macentum sustained a.
large loss last Saturday afternoon.
when his large barn on his farm near
SchIeswig was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground. Mr.. and
Mrs. Macentum were home alone, the
children being away at the time. The
barn was struck between and 5
o'clock in the afternoon, and before
the fire was discovered it had made
such Roadway that friends and neigh
bors were unable to save the building
and it was with considerable difficulty
that they were able to keep the house
from catching fire as strong wind
was blowing. Mr. Macentum was able
to get the horses out A straw shed,
hay shed, machine shed, granary
with 400 bushels of oats, 20 bushels
of wheat, 70 bushels Of corn and
cow barn were also destroyed. Mr..
and Mrs. Macentum wish to thank

National Bank.

Under the national banking Law a.
charter is given for period of twen:,
ty years. The charter of the First
National Bank Of Denison expAaes, Or
July Goth of this year The McHenrys
applied fog renewal of their charter
and have been awaiting the usual spec
ial and rigid examination given be-
fore the granting of an extension of a
charter made by an examiner direct
from the comptroller's Office, and they
are much gratified to receive the fol-
lowing letter:
Treasury Dept, Washington,
April q, 1912.
$40 the President and Board of Di-
rectors The First National Bank of
Denison, Denison, Iowa. Gentlemen:
Referring to the proposed extension
of the corporate existence of the First
National Bank OF Denison for period
of twenty years, you are informed that
in view of the report of the recent
examination of the bank made April
~, 1912, and the banks letter at
tached thereto, certificate authorizing
extension will be mailed on July 26,
1912, the date of expiration of the
present charter. Respectfully
"(SignedD T. P. Kane,
Deputy Comptroller"
This indicates the favor in which
the McHenry bank is held in Wash
ington by those officials familiar with
the detail transactions of the bank
and granting the renewal of their
charter without the special examina-
ton is a signal compliment.
Commenting upon this action of the
department and matters pertaining to
the bank, Mr.. McHenry said that dur
ing it's existence the First Naional
Bank of Denison has never borrowed
a dollar upon it's note or by certificate
of deposit and that at no time has any
stakeholder of the bank ever been
indebted to it in any manner. Such
a record is unusual and shows its
strong position as we'll as the fact
that patrons of the bank have had
the full benefit of the loanable funds
of the bank at all times.
