WORDS OF PRAISE
FOR GEORGE b. WALLACE


The Bradentown Evening Journal
contains the following about George
B. Wallace, who is we'll remembered
by our older citizens. The article
follows pic ure of George, who is
backed by much money, farming
utensils. children and other live
stock, and runs as follows:
Yep, it's George.
In fact It IS George B. and every
body knows him.
He is pictured above almost life
size, though, to he perfectly frank,
it must be admitted that the biggest
part OF George B. is TO be found in
his head rather than in the place
where most men carry their size
When story of Bradentown is
written it is not complete unless
mention, and pretty extensive mea-
tIon at dhat, is made of George B.
He has the happy faculty of getting
mixed up in almost everything for
the good of iBradentown and Mana
tee county. If there were more of
him there's no telling just what he
would do Anyway, he is pretty act
i've as it is
When you speak of George B.
you can address Ex4Mayor George,
President of the board of trade
George, Daddy George, Farmer Geo
rye, or about any other title that
you can think of, for he has earned
his right to them all.
George B. is very patriotic In
fact If every man in Bradentown was
as patriotic as George B. things
would grow and blossom as the rose
in this neck of the greatest state IN
the Union.
If the head of every family in
Bradenltown was as much of father
as George B. Bradenltown would
have a population of 55, 900 people.
George B. started as a merchant.
That is. we suppose that he did, for
before that time the mind of man
does not run to the contrary.
He made money selling merchal-
disc.
He stopped long enough to run for
for mayor and he made a good one.
Then he started farming. Every
10 or IL months somebody says
around town that George b. has
planted another fifty acres in or
n po.oe yl1,fe fJ,a,e, hoo, ,orrSv,or ~, e..
some time They say he tries to
plant an orange grove for each of
his children, but that is very hard to
believe for those who know the ex-
tent of his family.
He does not care a thing for cat
tIe He may admit tI1fs if he is
questioned closely and again he
may not. There lis strong rrumor
afioat that even though he is busy
with his oranges that he does find
time once in a great while to devote
TO cattle and there may be some
truth in the rumor
Tt will be hard to find a more pop
ular man in IBradentown or in Mama
tee county than George B. Wallace.
He is modern and progressive,
that is, modern in everything except
his method of transportation. He
still persists in driving a horse in
place of am automobile. Rumor has
it, THAT he has, however, made fire.
quent Inquiries for an automobile
THAT will carry thirteen people, and
maybe nineteen sixteen models vii
bring forth such car. Tt Dis pretty
certain that If such a car is buil
George B. will be an eager and anx
ious purchaser. He figures that i
will take six and half two-seatet
Gears or four -four seated cars ITO he o
any service ITO him, so, of course, h
is permitted ito be a little behind tn
/ times at present i'm this one thing.
| George B. is a good one" hi
! friends say, for has he not money
farms, groves, cattle and children
and what more should a man ask?
