 On investigating the various makes of automobiles that would best stand the wear and tear of this section and give the most service combined with the maximum of comfort and el- egance of appearance, Mir.

In this day of fast travel, one of the most important adjuncts to the growth of any city is. a good, well equipped Garage, where skilled work men are ready to repair cars and where all the necessary parts may be secured when needed, as well as the best makes of automobiles. England is the most fortunate community in this section of the state in this respect, because since the establish meat If the J. r. Norman Auto Co.,, about eighteen months ago, the city has enjoyed the advantages of first class institution of this kind.
 When MT. Norman established his business in England, he first called it the Norman Garage and started to work with only two mechanics, with the intention of enlarging and employing rlore men as fast as his business justified. To his surprise the business grew so fast that he

The aim of the Association is to give the public the best flour that can be made and customers of the England Milling Co.,, are all agreed that MT. Oleson is doing that very thing.
 MT. Oleson, owner and manager of the mill, is interested in lands out in North Dakota, but he is greatly im- pressed with the high quality of the soil in Lonobe county, which he finds much superior to any he ever saw be- fore coming to Arkansas He is much concerned with the public spirited enterprises of England, which are forging to the front in every way possible in striving to see that the world knows of the advan- tageous location of England in the richest agricultural county in the state.

!. D. MORTON
Keeps Full Line of Electrical and Plumbing Supplies at England Including Perfection
 Storage Batteries

In every community the call is be- coming more and more insistent for the latest in Electrical things and the best in Plumbing and there are few cities in Arkansas that can boast of a better Electric and Plumbing plant than that conducted by J. D. Morton at England. In addition to carrying all necessary supplies for a town having an electric lighting sys- tenn, he makes a speciality of pushing the sale and installation of electric lighting systems for farms and homes and places of business, handling both the Perfection and well known Jupiter lines.
 MT Morton has one other line which occupies considerable space in his establishment, on account of the large amount of business transacted, and that is sheet metal work, with other inside work. The building he occupies measures 9 100, giving him ample room to carry good stock and have we'll equipped work room.
 The success of his business since he opened up at England about two years ago, is due largely to his own ability in the lines of work, combined with the general prosperity of the county, calling for much electrical. plumbing and sheet metal work In handling plumbers supplies, as well as electrical goods, he has made quite hit with the public by generally having in stock what is called for, or by ordering it from some point from which he could obtain quick service
 Seeing the great future in the busi- ness of supplying small electrical plants on farms, where electric lights and electric power is. fast coming to be considered no longer in the light of luxuries, but as absolute neces- sites, Mr. Morton looked the market over and finally decided upon the Perfection Storage Battery Co.,, as being the best in it's line, and chose for the farms, Perfection and Jupiter

plants, each one of which is rated ac- cording to the recommendations Of the American Institute of Az ricultural Engineers, as well as being thoroughly tested before leaving the factory.
 The simplicity of this system, com bined with it's economy, reliability and safety, is fast making it one of the most popular small plants on the market. In addition to being used for lighting, they run washing machines, electric irons, vacuum cleaners, and other housework light ening inventions that make life so much more worth living. The Jupiter plants are made in three sizes. in order to furnish outfits suitable for the different kinds of service expected.
 Numbers of farms and large
The Carlisle independent., 1918-07-25

plantations in Lonoke county have already taken advantage of electric ity, since they found that they could secure it in such an easy manner, and now are keeping their places lighted, running machinery and making house work pleasure.
 Mir. Morton is in love with Eng land and takes great delight in his home. He was married on 1906 to Miss Jennie Webb of Cleveland county, and now has four children, two boys and two girls. He is a Democrat in politics and a member of the Methodist Church.
 The electrical and plumbing supply needs of England are being fully met by Mr Morton, who is always on the alert to keep abreast of the times and secure the latest in utility devices.

The plant is well kept and skillfully managed. Wheat can be dumped into a vault at the platform and . moved to his storage bins by electric elevator machinery. In order to make prompt deliveries, MT. Oleson has a 2-ton auto truck which is kept busy. Being civil en gi n ger, MT. Oleson superintended the construction of the mill himself, inovating several inn provements tending to better his facilities for handling the business of his customers.
 The grinding of wheat for the farmers of England and Lonoke county has already been begun by the mill, and owing to the reputation gained by the mill during the last season, Mr. Oleson expects to do the greater part of the grinding of the entire crop for the county this year, as a large number of the planters have assured him they would go to England to mill.

As an evidence of the big business now being carried on in this space, the sales of the company have been running between $36,000 and S50,000 per year average, not counting in the sales of new ears.
 Mir Norman is one of those pro gressive men who believe in farming to the extent that he is an expert diversified farmer as we'll as auto mobile dealer He farms 250 acres now planted in cotton, corn, wheat and other crops especially adapted to this section. Then he raises reg istered Duroc Jersey hogs and other stock, while the farm is well equipped with buildings, such as tool houses, 9 fine residence, and tenant houses.

 Big Trade Far Out In County
One of Chain of ThrySx Stores Doing Bushes in State

Although only having been estao- lished in England for period of two years the general merchandise business of The Fair Store is prov ing exceptionally popular with the people of this community.
 The Fair Store is one of chain of thirty-six stores doing business in the State of Arkansas. They carry line of general merchandise and notions embracing clothing and fur nishings for men, women and chil- dren. The immense purchasing power of this concern. being able to order car load lots to be distributed among their large number of stores, enables them to buy at the very low est prices and they therefore can supply their customers at a low price for the quality they offer. During the last year the total sales of the thirty-six stores amounted to over million dollars. They carry large line of about every thing needed by everybody except the heavy articles of furniture, tools and implements.
 The manager of The Fair Store is T. L. Helm, who is widely eXpe- rienced in the line. He was born and raised in Arkansas and five years to his coming here to take up the management of the England store, he

 There is no better mill in Central Arkansas than that at England, either in point of capacity or equip men5 to turn out the best of wheat flour, corn meal and mixed feed. In addition to grinding meal and making four, the company handles grain of all llinds, and makes a speciality of buy.ag up the farmers grain, as well as U grinding and milling for the prodlcer's benefit.
