BUILDING AND loan
COMPANY ORGANIZED
Articles of Incorporation Filed for
Webster City's New Business
Institution.

The articles of incorporation of a
building and loan company were FL
ed in the county recorders office to-
day. The name of the company is to
be The Webster City Investment
Company.
1T was organized and is to be man
aged by w. B. Rood, cashier of the
Webster City Savings Bank, and is
to have an authorized capital OF
SIS, 900. Associated with Mr.. Rood
in this project are many Of the re-
sponsible and progressive citizens OF
this city.
1t is the plan of the company to
build new and modern homes in
suitable locations during the coming
year, and to sell them on the month
ly payment plan. In this way many
who cannot afford to purchase a
home. paying spot cash for it. can
own one thorugh this system. There
is no questioning the good such an
institution, properly managed, can
do for this city. and the Freeman
Tribune believes that this company
will be a success in every way, and
be of material assistance in building
up the town.
The company also propose to han
die all forms Of securities and to
with some of the large insurance
companies in the east, who will fur
nish money for this purpose. Success
TO the new company.

PROGRAM OF MUCH VARIETY
Parts are Well Balanced and Voices
Beautifully Blended-Solos,
Readings, Etc.

Those who turned out to hear the
state college glee club of male voices
from Ames at the Methodist church
last evening were we'll entertained.
The organization is a creditable one
to the educa tiona1 institution it rep
resents, although a little discrimin-
alton in certain selections might not
be amiss. Many of the voices in the
club are very fine and their work on
the whole is clever. The different
parts are we'll balanced and their
voices blend in beautiful and eff
fective manner, the evident result of
a great deal of training. The club
appeared upon the program for four
regular selections and these were
added to in response to the applause
rendered by the audience. The en-
semble numbers were interSperSed
with solos. readings, etc, making an
entertainment of much variety. The
octette, Come Where my Love Lies
Dreaming" by eight picked voices
from the club, was one Of the most
enjoyable selections Of the evening.
The tenor solos by Mr.. Edwin West
brook, the soprano solos by Miss
Gladys Ufford, and the baritone
songs by Mr.. C. r. Armour, added
much to the enjoyment Of the occa-
sion. Mr.. Clyde II. Lissenden's read
ings also deserve mention, while the
cello solos by Mr.. Joe Kippel were
artistic performances. Mrs. Selma
Plagge as piano accompanied show
ed ready ability in this minor but
nevertheless difficult position.
This is the first visit Of the Ames
glee club to this city. They are a
jolly lot Of college boys and deserve
success on this 1913 Easter tour.
