HEADQUARTERS
FOR FARMERS
Is the Mammoth Grocery and
Queensware Establishment of
Val FOrtman, on Market Strest,
Opposite the Courthouse.

The mammoth grocery and queens
ware establishment of Val Fortman
on Market street is the headquarters
for the farmers of Mercer County
when they come to town to do their
shopping.
Mr.. FOrtman has one of the larg-
est and most complete grocery estab-
lishments in this section of the state,
carrying everything in the staple and
fancy grocery lines. His goods are
priced very reasonably, in fact he
buys in such quantities that he is
able to sell adyantageously and
cheaper than most stores in this line.
The trade reaches such immense pro
portions that everything at the place
is fresh, crisp and sanitary.
The place is a great trading center
in the way of country produce as the
farmers have long since learned that
Fortman will pay them the best price
the market affords, consistent with
good business. The fact that his
large country trade brings him much
produce and keeps his goods in ex-
cellent condition accounts for the big
city trade the place enjoys.
Mr.. Fortman's place Of business is
center of activity in Celina that
adds much to the towns advantages
as shopping center, thus benefiting
the whole community and many of
the other stores Mr.. Fortman is
one of the pioneer merchants of the
city having been engaged in business
here for the past 33 years.

THOROUGHLY MODERN
Is the HeIsSer Bakery Here in Ce-
lima, Conducted by Adam HeiS-
ser for the Past Quarter of a
Century.

The baking industry is practically
as old as the discovery of fire and the
methods used in ancient times have
greatly changed from the baking on
stone and in rudely constructed
ovens To-day it is quite different,
and at the Heisser Bakery in this
city the latest styles of ovens and
machinery are in operation for the
production of bread, cakes, pies and
dainties for the public. Another
feature of the Heisser Bakery is the
cleanliness which the proprietor, Mr..
Adam Heisser, insists on, both in the
sales room and in the baking depart
ment. Everything is kept scrupu-
ously clean and in a strictly sanitary
condition. Only the very best of ma
terials are used and the most COM
petent help employed.
Mr.. Heisser understands the bak-
cry business from the ground up and
is prepared to make wedding cakes
and party dainties, and will trim
them for you according to your de-
sires. He has built up his business,
both wholesale and retail, upon the
quality of the goods his reputation
for running a sanitary and up-to-date
place and the fact that he sells goods
at reasonable prices. He is one of
the prominent citizens of Celina and
interested in its upbuilding. He has
been in business here for the past
twenty-nine years, and is one of the
pioneer business men of the city.

TAMAH Grain CO.
Conduct Large Elevator at Tamah
and Do Extensive Business
In Grain and Seed.

There isn't any question but that
the elevator of the Tamah Grain Co.,
I'M AT Tamah, is an important factor
in the commercial life of the locality
in which it is located and contrib
utes to the general prosperity of the
community by giving the farmers
both a market for their grain and a
feed establishment where they are
able to secure both the local and for
eign feeds.
Mr.. B. Sidle, the manager of the
company, is one of those elevator
men who is very liberal in his deal
ings with the public and consequent
ly attracts trade to his establishment
for many miles around. By being in
touch with large purchasers, he is
able to market the products of that
whole section of the country more
advantageously than many locali-
ties are able because they have con-
Germs of smaller capacity and capital
to handle their products for them,
The large elevator has capacity OF
thousands of bushels and you can
easily see what business he does
when you know that it is tested to
its full capacity during the entire
season.
They always pay the top of the
market and many producers knowing
this, now seek no further market.
Mr.. Sidle is clean-cut, affable
business man, courteous to a degree,
who is one of the well known men of
the county. He fayOrs progression
and advancement along all public
lines and is ready to materially assist
all movements.

Ger County the public has at its beck

Buy for Less at the Racket Store
and You Will Always
Have Money Left.

The Racket Store of Leo Hierholz-
er in this city is one of those modern
institutions that are filling long felt
want in the community and where
metropolitan stock and service are
at the bid of the city or county.
The stock in this store is large
and most complete, and comprizes
thousands of those little necessary,
ornamental and useful things of life
that are found in the five and ten
cent stores of our larger cities and
in addition to this he carries a line
of the better grades of materials that
comprise almost everything that one
would expect in a store of this kind.
1t is a big store filled with little
things. Mr.. Hierholzer is offering
the people of the county the most
wonderful bargains every day in the
year.
Mr.. Hierholzer welcomes all the
ladies of the county to make this
place their headquarters when they

Among the financial institutions
of this section of the state which
have been chartered during the last
decade there are few indeed that can
show more substantial progress than
the First National Bank of Celina.
From the date Of its organization up
to the present time It has been noted
for its sound energetic and conserY-
.ative management, commanding in a
marked degree the confidence OF its
depositors and the public at large, a
condition which is the aim of any eX-
ecutive board This depository ever
alert to the interest Of its depositors,
treating all with a fairness that is
liberal and a conservatism that in
sures security, is steadily advancing
and its present flourshing condition

the best interest of our progressive
community at heart.

The confectionery of Lehmer &
Nedeff is one of the places of the city
where metropolitan service is rend-
cred the people of Celina and Mercer
County, and the very excellent service
they are rendering has built for them
business of which they may well

IMPORTANT FACTOR
In the Commercial Life of Cellna
Is the Celina Ice Co., Managed
by the Genial Mike Hemmert.

The Celina Ice Company is an i'm
portant factor in the commercial life
of the city and an institution that is
rendering excellent service to the
people of Celina.
The Celina Ice Company packs
enough native ice to run through the
season and in the winter gives work
to many men who at that time of the
year are not otherwise employed, and
thus places the money in circulation
that is paid for the product in the
summer.
They sell their product at the low
est possible price that is consistent
with good business and render excel
lent delivery service to all parts of
the city.
The people of Celina owe the Cell
ma Ice Company and Mr.. Mike Hem
inert, the manager, a debt of graft.
tude for the great benefits they de-
rvive in the way of securing good ice
at a minimum price and for the very
excellent service he is rendering the
the public. THIS can best be paid by
a liberal patronage of the institution
and continually boosting for Nike

One of the firms that adds to Mer-
Ger County's fame as a wide-aWake
and up-to-date county is the Chicka-
saw Milling Company, at ChickasaW,
in the south part of the county
While this well known concern does
a general milling business, it is fam
Gus for its popular brand of Blue
Ribbon" flour.
Flour is one of the essentials in
every home, but not every flour
meets the requirements of good flour.
The housewife is most eXacting in her
demands for good flour and she in
sists that il not only make good bread
and pastry when she first tries it, but
also that il must be Of uniform good
quality all the time. The women
who have not gotten good results
from their baking and have not tried
Blue Ribbon" are overlooking a
means to greater success. Blue
Ribbon retains the natural nutty flaw
or of the best wheat in the world.
The Chickasaw Milling Company
is headquarters for everything in the
feed line, including bran and mid
dlings, and other local feeds, and in
addition to this they sell the foreign
feeds Their large elevator is load
ed to its full capacity during the
season as a result of the fact that
they pay the farmer for his grain the
best prices the market affords, and
their dealings with the general pub
lie has always been of pleasant
character Their place is a rende-
vous for the farmers of the southern
part of Mercer and the adjoining
counties. They also do an exchange
business on a very advantageous bas-
is to the farming community. The
large amount of trade it is enjoying
is an evidence Of its popularity and
it's success adds~to the prosperity of
the county in which it is located.
The people of Chickasaw, Celina
and Mercer County should all boost
for Blue Ribbon" flour and the most
substantial way to boost is to demand
it of your local grocer. By doing
this you are keeping local money in
local circulation and helping your
self as much if not more than the
man from whom you buy
Mr.. f. L. Bertke, the manager of
the Chickasaw Milling Company is
one of the representative citizens of
the county, and the industry over
whichhe has direction is one of the
concerns that helps turn the wheels
of progress.

REAL OLD
MECLOWNS
viii BE Seen Here With RObinsOn's
Famous Shows on 2Sth

In the days of the old one-ring cir
Gus the clown was the principal fig
ure. Beyond doubt he was the most
popular idol of the amusement-loy-
ing public.
When the three, four and five-ring
shows came into vogue, the decad-
ence of the clown began. His aud
ience was so far away, he was such
an insignificant figure in the vast
canopy, that his vocation was gone,
and he became but pantomine, with
no opportunity to display the genius
of the old days.
The Robinson's Famous Shows
have revived the real clown of the
days when he was in his glory. There
is lust as much talent, just as much
genius, given the chance to display
it, as there ever was, and the genu-
inc comedians who don the white
and harlequin with the Robinson's
Famous Shows are given full play,
and never fail to create the roars of
merriment that convulsed our fore
fathers in the days or the old wagon
shows.

Cron make, but this is only a small
part of the output of an industry of
