tant place in the upbuilding of her
business and social life. The town
wouldn't seem just right without this
popular dispenser of meats-this man
who with his good wife have reared
a splendid family of boys and girls

is with sincerest good will that we
hope for many more years of John
Kurz as business man.
John Kurz was until three or four
years ago OF German extraction. Now
he is purely American, all wool and
a yard wide. He purchased liberty
bond and has given literally to the
war relief fund. proving his loyalty
to America. II Is whispered that he
even refuses to. talk German dialect
to the foreign women who patronize
his store, referring them to Clarence
who with a school acquired German
can almost understand whether they
want to buy a leg o. mutton or sell a
half hog.
The Kurz market is a permanent
