Salem Businessmen
Working with Legislators

About 100 members Of the CONNER
cial club assembled at the Senate room
last evening to discuss with the Senate
the bridge proposition and to impress
on the senators that Marion county not
only wanted a bridge, but that it
wanted the bill passed that would per
NIT Marion county to build it. But
there was no session of the senate and
after conference with Senator Bishop,
they were asked to call again at $3.50
this morning. But this morning the
senate got into wrangle on the road
bill and had no time for other troubles.
So the business men of the city were
asked to call this afternoon. For the
third time men representing the best
interests Of the city assembled at the
capitol to ask that something be done
that would relieve the situation here.
The bill is to come up for the second
reading and the future Of the bill seems
to depend on whether it IS sent to the
judiciary committee or to the committee
on counties. There seems to be well
founded impression that the judiciary
committee would kin the bill.

There ISN'T any question bu that
the huge elevator of Moser & Fry
singer at Rockford is an important
factor in the commercial and indus
trial life of Mercer county as they
are extensive dealers and one of the
largest buyers of grain of all kinds
in these parts. The proprietors are
very liberal in their dealings with the
public and attract trade from the
country for many miles around.
The farmers have come to know
that they can get from them the very
highest price that the market will
permit for grain OF all kinds and
hence they seek no further market.
Messrs Moser and Frysinger have Il
reputation far and wide as elevator
men of wide experience and straight
forward methods and it is not sur
prising that the volume of their busi-
ness is ever increasing.
The MOser and Frysinger Elevator
is in every way thoroughly reliable
and its manager ana proprietors are
men with whom it is pleasure to
transact business. They treat all
customers honOrably and alike, doing
as they would be done by, and this

j. e. Lloyd and Sons Garage at
Rockford is one of the best in this
section of the county as center for
autosuppli es, repair and livery, as
this is a concern that would do cred
ii to a much larger city and where
the service and work are metropoli-
tan in every particular.
This establishment has become
known as one place in Mercer coun-
ty where automobile work of the. most
efficient character is executed prompt
ly and on time. They thoroughly un-
derstaud the business and are famil-
lar with all makes of automobiles.
No matter Wnat may be your need in
the line of service, repair or supply
work, Lloyd and his men are compe-
tent to execute it. They are well
equipped to tuIn out in the most sat
isfactory manner and their charges
are most reasonable. In fact, the
matter of price has always been a
hobby with them.
One Of the country's wisest men
has said: "lf your competitors talks
ABOUT you put MIN On lHe pay TOll.
This is based on the undisputed fact
that the most belittled product in any
line is tie Ole that has attained the
greatest measure of popularity. No
other Car comes in for as much dis
cussion as the Ford and not all of
this criticism is favorable either. Yet
this car gains in popularity each year
and Ford owners are today better
pleased and III greater numbers than
ever before. There can be no ques-
tioning the fact that the Ford COM
pany chose wisely in selecting J. E..
Lloyd and Sons to represent them in
Rockford and surrounding country.
For those patrons who wish a
high grade car at a very low figure,
either roadster or touring type, he
offers the Ford. We wish to advise
our readers that an early consulta-
tion with Lloyd will be to their ad-
vantage. See them now and get your
order i'll before an advance takes
place.
