Ha. Faith in Cresco Property.

Curtis Miller has closed the deal for
the purchase of another Cresco business
property. This time the D. Amundson
building on Elm street, occupied by
Clark Bros, at consideration of $500.
Mr.. Miller is firm believer in Cresco's
future and prefers to invest his money
here rather than in Canada or Western
land. Had others been of like mind,
thousands of dollars made in this vicin-
ity would have brought as great re-
suits and would moreover have remain
ed to help build up the town and farms
in this vicinity.

Pioneer Bushes. Man Honored.

The Cresco Commercial Club tender,
ed a banquet at '"The Cresco" Thurs.
day evening of last week in honor OF
P. F. O'Malley, who recently retired
from an active business career in Cres.
co of nearly half a century. The gath.
ering was the largest the Club had had
for nearly two years, every member
feeling deeply sensible of the appropri-
ateness of signifying their apprecia-
tion and regard for one who for so
many years had been one of its most
reliable business men, and, as DR.. Kes-
sci, the toastmaster, aptly remarked,
"a man who never needed to add
Square dealer" to his. name in his
business announcements, for that fact
was universally recognized all over this
territory
The banquet, q five-course affair, was
prepared by Mr.. Freeburn, and its
serving was in charge of James Ora
hsm as head waiter, assisted by seve-
raj capable young ladies. The ban
quet, both in viands and serving, was
fully up to the standard of banquets
served in larger cities on pretentious
occasions.
Following the banquet the gathering
was called to order by ]. ]. Sobolik,
president of the Club, who introduced
as POSTMASTER DR.. Kessel who pre-
sided in his usual happy manner, pay
ing beautiful tribute to the personal
and business career Of the guest of the
evening.
L. P. Barth gave very interesting
history of Mr.. O'Malley's business ca
reer in Cresco, commencing with the
firm of Geo. w. Platt & Co. of which
O'Malley was member, which com.
menced business in 1866 in a frame
building, on the site of the present
O'Malley block, the material for the
building and the stock of goods having
been hauled from Conover. He also
spoke of Mr.. O'Malley's work in build
ing up the creamery interests of the
county, and touched upon some per-
sonal recollections of Mr.. O'Malley's
kindness which time had not dimmed
or obliterated.
DR.. Connolly's address dealt chiefly
with the place in the business world oc-
cupied by the retail dealer.
s. A. Sonverse was called upon TO
~ - ! ~ = y
supply for N. s. Durein xhs wes 70
Sfvs some sariy day eihiniscences.
but was detained at home by illness.
Mr.. Converse responded very accept
ably with some personal experiences
during the pioneer days at New Oregon
and Cresco in its infancy.

Others were called upon for i'm
promptu remarks. D. A. Lyons furn
ished hearty laugh by his story Of
the sign .'Platt & O'Malley" which he
hastily read as "Pat O'Malley," on his
first visit to Cresco.
T. j. Lomas gave an interesting ac'
count of his first visit to Cresco, when
he and his brother Henry CHANGED to
overhear complimentary remarks of the
new and thriving town of Cresco. The
point made that good word for Cresco
spoken then brought investors to Cres-
co, is just as true now as then.
John Farnsworth gave an indication
of the troubles of Mr.. O'Malley and
the other pioneer business men of the
town in financing their business so as
to accommodate their customers and at
the same time maintain their existence
by relating an incident of the applica-
ton made by Cresco man to the old
firm of Kimball & Farnsworth for a
loan of $S5. 90 which he understood was
to be paid into the bank by Riceville
man $500 was big amount those
days, when money was so scarce.
Mayor Barker made neat little
talk, relating his first meeting as boy
with Mr.. O'Malley, and referring to
the floral decorations on the table, COM
mended the giving of flowers and COM
pliments to the living instead of wait
ing till our friends are gone and scat
tering flowers upon their graves and
speaking words of eulogy to the living.
DIR. Kessel called upon Mr.. O'Malley
who returned his thanks for the testi-
monial given him, and stated that al
though he had ceased from active busi-
ness, he W II still retain lively interest
in Cresco and it's Commercial Club and
will be found working for and with
them in the future as in the past.
The gathering was a generous and
sincere testimonial to Mr.. O'Malley' S
worth as a citizen, business man and
as an example which the young busi-
ness men should emulate if they would
secure and retain a hold upon the af-
fections of the community such as
has Mr.. O. 'Malley.
