LIST OF BUSINESS MEN
AND OCCUPATIONS.


the train man as the Chicago & Alton
train glides into picturesque,
clean looking town in Prairie town
ship, Audrain County, Mo. There is
a hustle at the station which inter-
ests the passengers-they look to the
south at business thoroughfare.
And stretching away, either north or
south, until lost to view in rows of
shade trees on either side, are resi-
dence streets, with pretty cottages
and larger modern homes where
dwell those who call Laddonia home
who make and keep the pretty
town with a pretty name a good place
TO live in. There is thrift in the faces
of LaddOnia's business men; they
show the faith that is in them by the
clean, well assorted stocks of goods
they offer and the live-andlet-live
prices they make. The stranger looks
over the business district and says
"If these goods were not demanded
these men would not have them;
Laddonia is making a strong bid for
the trade of rich district, and she is
getting it,"
And there is civic pride on the
faces of the women of Laddonia who
are workers to make their town the
Little City Clean and Beautiful"
Let's take a peep at the result of
the combined work and civic pride Of
Laddonia men and women.
