BUSINESS CHANGES
PROMINENT RESIDENTS MOVING
TO DIES MONIES.

Oskaloosa Is losing two of its best
known business people and citizens,
Harry III. Rosebrook and Doctor F.
f. Parker. These men are removing
with their families to Des Moines
for permanent residence on account
of new business association that
takes them to the capital city.
Both men have become interested
in the National Live Stock Insurance
Association, Mr., Rosebrook in otih
ciaI capacity of secretary OF the big
institution, and Doctor F. F. Parker
as chief veterinarian, at the head of
the medical examination department.
The company is one of the largest in
situations of its kind in the land.
The business change lost to the
Southern Iowa Fair Association its
first secretary, whose work and exec
ptiye ability had much to do with the
success Of the big undertaking and
it likewise takes from Mahaska
county popular and busy Veterin-
arian. rs -
Doctor Parker has disposed of his
interests in Oskaloosa and the coun-
tyA to the Doctors Collins, Veterinar
ians, who have purchased both resi-
dence and hospital property located
at the southwest corner of the inter
section of Second avenue and First

sion and have spent the week with
Doctor Parker, being introduced in

Both are pleasant young men, eher-
getic and business like, and they "

in addition to quitting his work with
the Southern Iowa Fair Association,
retires from the firm of Phillips &
Rosebfook, William T. Phillips, real
estate and loan agents.. who have
been associated through a number of
years with a considerable degree of
success. He has, with his family,
been prominent in social and church
work in which Harry gained a GER
tain degree of prominence as super
Eintendent of the Congregational

honored by numerous reflections.
