Oil station Locates in Leon.

Another new business enterprise
is to locate in Leon. For many years
the Standard Oil Co. has maintained
distributing station at Leon. sup
plying many of the towns adjacent
from their Leon station with oil and
gasoline, but now they are to have
competition. Mr.. Harry V. Flora, OF
Omaha, Neb., representing the Mis-
souri, Valley Oil Co., is in Leon maxi
ing arrangements for the erection OF
second oil and gasoline supply sta
tf0n in this city, having leased
ground for the station near the Bur-
lington depot, on land adjoining the
new switch which will be built to the
big new poultry plant of Aaron &
Co., which is now in course of con-
struction. The Missouri Valley Oil
Co. is one of the big Independent oil
and in looking around for,
new territory for their business they
selected Leon as a live wire town..
Permanent storage tanks will be
built and they will have local agent
located here and tank wagons. The
company owns line of 500 oil tank
cars, and the prospects are that with
two oil companies located at Leon
the owners of buz wagons will be;
able to get mighty cheap fuel for
their cars.

A Dandy Job Of Road Grading.

That prince of good fellows, j. b..
Leeper, of northeast of Leon, who
knows just how to grade up coun-
try road so that it is like boule-
ward, did mighty fine job of grad
ing and dragging the new street
named Corporation street, which
runs east and west between L. p. Van
Werden's new addition and the farm
of C. w. Hoffman, last Thursday.
While this road was only opened up
last year, Joe graded and dragged it
until it was as smooth as floor,
nicely rounded and the water will
all run off the road. We wish that
every road worker in Decatur coun-
ty could see this piece of road work
and use it as an example on other
roads.
