There was enough conservativeness
and enough OF the dreamer in the
makeup of the company He believed
they were on the highway OF success
and he would be glad not only to en-
dorse the proposition, but to take
some stock in it.
Bankers Like 1t.
E. S. Baker saw no reason why the
company should not go ahead, and he
was glad to assist 1t in any way.
L. j. Montgomery said he was glad
that the letter Of Endorsement was as
strong as it was, and he knew the
company meant business.
J. O. Boyd wished the company
every success on its new plans, and
he urged that more interest be taken
by the people in their industries. He
suggested that statements of affairs
similar to bank statements would not
be amiss for all concerns. He would
be glad, he said, to do all he could for
the Keokuk plant.
Retailers Indorse Plan
M e. Justice, speaking for the Re-
taiers, said he had found that it tooR
dreamers to do the big things He
said the retailer depended on the
working man, and that anything that
would bring business here would be

C. F. Skirvin brought laugh from
the crowd when he said he was for

same sort Of business.
The letter Of indorsemen t was

and it was for this that they wanted
the Endorsement Of the people Of keo-
kuk. He wanted the boys to know
that Keokuk was with them, when he
sent them out to sell stock.
Power in Plenty.
c. w. Kellogg was called on by Mr.
Nagel for short talk. He said he
had been asked the next time he had
opportunity to speak before the pub
lie to nail the lie that is being circu-
lated either through malice or isnor-
ance. that there was a shortage OF
power at Keokuk The initial develop
ment was Of 171,000 horse power, he
said, and there was a steam relay OF
81, 900 horse power, which it had been
necessary to use but once, even
though there was a variable amount of
power at times. There is plenty of
chance to develop and plenty Of power
for all who come here. We want to
see them come to Keokuk, he said,
and we will have plenty Of power for
them.
Mr.. kellogg said he would be glad
to do all he could in the way of an
swering inquiries regarding the Stand
ard Four Tire company and would be
glad to be able to say that it had
Keokuk's endorse ment.
Irwin Is For 1t.
Wells M. Irwin, called on next, said
that he was glad to see the company
taking the steps it had. and that SO
far as he could see, there was no rea-
son why anyone would hesitate il
signing the paper, either as an indi-
vidual or a firm. He said he believed
