Big TRANSACTION
HAS BEEN MADE
Ford Garage Changes Ownership and
Large Addition Is to BE Built
to Accommodate Increasing
Trade

The Ford Garage building owned
by s. r. Nielsen of Atlantic has been
sold during the past week to Lake
Martinsen of this city. The struc-
ture was built three years ago but q
year ago was sold. The property IL
valuable and we'll located.
Mr.. Martinsen has already made
the excavation for q twenty-five foot
addition. This will hive a basement
in which will be located a splendid
machine shop. This change has be-
come necessary to take care of the
increased business that this garage
has enjoyed. A large force of men
are regularly employed, but with the
new addition q still larger force will
be necessary.
John Martinsen and his son Lake
have enjoyed a tremendous business
ever since they took over the Ford
agency. They rank with the best
agents in the state and were it not
for the difficulty in getting cars they
could almost double their annual
sales.
The repair department will be-
come one Of the strong features of
their business. They need more room
for display and with the new addi-
ton they will only have the neces-
sary room for present requirements.
The Ford garage is veritable bee
hive of industry and next spring
when business opens up in full
bloom 1t will be SO busy around the
place that loafer will scarcely dare
to light.

FLETCHER'S LECTURE
Was INSPIRING
First Number Of The Lecture Course
Proved to be The Best That Has
Ever Visited the City of
Audubon

! The opening number of the lecture
course in Audubon, which is conduct
ed under the auspices of the CONNER
cial Club, was given at the Presbyter-
ian church last Monday evening. The
attraction was the famous lecturer,
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, of Marion,
Ohio, and it is the common consent of
all that 1.-THE Martyrdom of Fools
was positively the most inspiring lee
ture ever delivered in the town either
on the Lyceum platform or at our
Chautauqua.
For two hours he held the large
audience spell bound. There never
was moment that he did not have
the strictest attention. About eight
years ago Mr.. Fletcher appeared here
on the Chautauqua platform and
there are hundreds today who still re-
call his masterful lecture. 1t certain
ly was delight to hear him and there
is already strong demand for his
return to Audubon on the course next
year.
Mr.. Fletcher is filled to the brim
with physical and mental energy. He
dashes forward upon Introduction and
plunges eagerly, almost furiously, in
to his subject. His personality is mag
netic. He is master of every phase
of dramatic art. A graceful Delsart-
can one moment, thunderholt hurl-
ing giant. the next; he combines i'm
FASHIONED oratory with the calm reas-
oning of judge. He is master in
the use of language. whether it be
biting sarcasm, scathing sondemna-
ton, tender pleading. or strong ex-
hortation. And all this power in
language and dramatic art is combin-
ed for one purpose-to startle, TO
awaken, and then to burn into the
soul Of his hearers. moral convictions,
in matters political, social and relig-
ious. No one unless he is a cynic or
one who never allows his feelings any
|itertv. can listen to Thomas Brooks
Fletcher without having a burning de-
sire to go out and annihilate some
brute of injustice and to stand erect
on 10th feet with shoulders squared
for every phase of civic Righteousness.
His straight from the shoulder STYLE
Of dealing with modern conditions.
his honest sincerity his powerful con-
victions his contempt for any ATTEMPT

the admiration Of his audience: for
the world admires fighter and pas
sionately loves him if his cause is
just.
