INVESTED IN BON AIR COAL
& IRON CO.
v. J. CURMINS With The PARl !
einanciers Amazed BY Magnitude Of
Mule Market at Columbia and Take
Snap Shots of Typical Scenes on
Streets OF City.

William w. Wrigley, Jr., the man
of Spearmint chewing gum fame,
spent Tuesday night in Columbia
with W. j. Cummins and party Of
other financiers who are interested in
the property of the Bon Air Coal &
iron Co. in Wayne and Hickman
counties. They spent the night at the
Bethel House after having made an
automobile tour of the property and
lett this morning in their automobiles
for Bon Air via. Murfreesboro.

ment in the Bon Air Company, and
has recently been made chairman of
the executive committee of the cor
poration. He is the chewing gum king
of America and has been in the South

days ago he renewed his old acquaint.
ances and was the guest at round
of hospitalities.
W. J. Cummins is well known in
Columbia and throughout Tennessee
as one of the most aggressive and sue
cessful financiers of the South. His
achievement in rehabilitating the Bon
Air company is declared to be one OF
the most remarkable in the history OF
fnanciering in this country, and the
fact that he is putting his entire en-
ergies into it is an indication that il
will be successful.

their party were in Columbia few
hours last Monday on their way to
Aliens Creek where the Bon Air Co
has big furnace and extensive iror
ore deposits While here they mixed
with the big First Monday crowd
and enjoyed the sight of so many fine
Tennessee mules. Some members Of
the party had kodacks and snapped g
number of scenes typical of First
Monday in Columbia.
One gentleman, whose home is il
the North, was amazed by the scene
of prosperity and industry on the
streets of the city Of the "Dimple'
and expressed his delight in words
glowing with enthusiasm. They left
this city with q most exalted opinion
Of its Importance as a live stocl
center.
The entire party registered at the
Pettel House Tuesday night consiste,
OF William w Wrigley, Jr,, w. j
Cummins, of Nashville; J. H. Patricl
and J. r. Ofield of Chicago; R. T
