The Green Forest tribune., 1913-12-19

A business man who has covered every inch of the ground that dls- tinguishes a citizen who measures up to the true standard of enterprise is Iiarve Villines, manager of the Green Forest Hardware Co.,, and who is groomed for cashier of the Bank of Green Forest upon his retirement from that business January l 1914, when the Walker Hardware Co.,, ac- cording to arrangements cOnsummat- ed some time ago, will succeed to the ownership of the hardware business.
 It would be impossible to find T more universally popular business man than MT. Nillines in this or any other town.
 The Tribune is not given to flattery, but if such were our stock and trade, we are sure that we could not over draw the standing of Harve VillineS with his patrons and associates. He has as nearly all the true elements

 MT. Oldham came here from Win field, Kan. in 1905, and has worked in several different mills, his services always being in demand, for he never failed to demonstrate that he knows the milling business thoroughly Pre- vious to his removal here MT. Oldham had been engaged in the milling busi- ness in the celebrated flour town of Winfield. Kans., and in other mills in that section since the early seventies, and had long been credited with the title of an expert flour maker. His whole soul is wrapped in the busi- ness. So much pride does he take in doing things correctly that he had rather lose nights sleep than to turn out a single sack of flour that is not up to his own high standard. He has, however, had every reason to sleep soundly since the 10th of Au gust.
 NIr Oldham not only takes an all absorbing interest in flour making, but he is continually encouraging and in structing the farmers along the line of

This enterprise was made possible for Green Forest by it's gentlemanly manager and that veteran miller M. A. oldham, who was induced to invest in the corporation and take the man. agement of the business.
 The selection of the machinery and the installation of same in the min utest detail were made by and under the direction of MT. Oldham, and when the undertaking was complete, he as sured us that if his judgment was

An institution that is of incalculable value to the community is the Green Forest Milling and Elevator Co.,, which plant was launched brand new in every particular this year. This mill turned out it's first sack of flour August 15, 1913, and the machinery has been run ming daily ever since, manufacturing "Oldham's Best" and "Foresta" by the car load. with the usual amount of other products turned out by four ing mill.

 In the management of the mill Mir. Oldham is assisted by his daughter, Miss Persis, who, while possessed of all the womanly graces, can with as much ease as any employe of the mill, toss a tWo-bushel sack of wheat six fCot high into a bin, or start the giant 10-horse power oil engine that propels the mill machinery with as much alacrity as the engineer himself. Miss Persis has been a companion of her father in the mill since sine was a tot and the things that she don't know about the operation of flour mill are not many, and it is certain that were

TROUBLE OF BAsHFUL MAI

That Prevented the Coupling

A bashful swain took violent lik.

brought his courage up to the sticking
point and made an evening call at
her house. He found her busily en-.
gagged pressing a garment with tai.
lor's goose. She, however. received
him very courteously and continued
her work. A bevy Of the lady's fe.
male friends dropped in a few minutes
after the poor man had subsided into
silence. for he found It absolutely i'm.
possible to maintain q conversation
with her. The sudden entrance OF the
visitors. instead of relieving. only
added to his embarrassment. and he
sat in silence until It became a matter
of serious concern to the company how
to put him at ease. for he was well
known to all Of them as a man of
great worth. bashfulness being his
only weakness. The young lady finally
got through with her work and called
out to the servant in the kitchen;
"Jane!"
The door opened and the domestic
replied:

feet In an instant and exclaimed:
