A NEW INSTITUTION FOR THE
MIDDLE WEST.

The coming of big things into this
community seems to be at hand, the
railways, the big stock yards. the
nany, many improvements of our
corn fields, but on all these indus
trios there must needs be some insur-
artee, and we now have in our midst
the Natl American Fire Ins. Co.,
company with the endorsement of the
leaders of the above mentioned in
dustries, together with their capital
and as sure as the packing and rail
way industries, so sure is the insur-
ance business.
The coming of one of the largest
insurance firms in the U. S. is this
big $3,0OO,OOO firm with it's paid up
capital. Most people are not familiar
with the inner workings of the big
companies of the U. S., but from the
conception of insurance there has
never been failure of one with
million dollars capitalized for the
reason of the close scrutiney of the
law to protect the interest of the
stockholders in every respect
What $3,000,000 means to policy
holder in this immediate vicinity: The
investing of hundreds of thousands of
dollars in mortgages, loans, state
bonds, and in fact the keeping in the
west and mostly in our states of Iowa
and Nebraska, in place of these mil
| lions of dollars being sent to the east
yearly, to, in turn, be sent out west
again.
To show the appreciation of this
new company, the west half of Har-
rison county has invested nearly
$1G0. 600.
w. A. Smith of California Jet,
President of the State Savings Bank
of this city, and interested in many
enterprises in this county, has invest
ed heavily in the Company, and is
! Vice-President Mr.. Smith is a con-
sarvative business man, and invests
his money only where he knows re-
turns are assured and his investment
safe. He realizes that foreign COM
panies in Germany. Austria and Rus
sia have taken millions out of the U.
S. yearly, and now this middle west
company, with headquarters at Oma-
ha, will keep this vast wealth at
home, invested in home properties.
The Natl American Fire Insurance
| Co. will write Fire, Hail, Tornado, and
Automobile Insurance. and win, with
in a few days, have field men in this
district placing agents.
Sc1oe 81 banks in Nebraska and
Iowa haze invested in this company,
together with the other large finan-
cial interests, as they firmly believe

spect.

SKINNER STOCKHOLDERS ARE
AGREEABLY SURPRISED.

Several of our Harrison county
readers, who have stock in the Skinner
Packing Company, have been down to
see the new plant during the past
week. All report that the plant is
much larger and better than they ex-
pected to find.
Their sub basement which will hold
100000 pounds Of beef, is the only
one of it's kind in the world. Besides
they have basement above the sub
basement that is almost as large.
Their entire storage capacity is
sufficient to hold almost $5.OOO,OOO
worth of meat.
Each department of this great en-
terprise is managed by man of in
tegrity and one who has spent years
in the department he now occupies
with the Skinner Brothers. These
years have all been successful years,
as the Skinner Brothers only procure
the services of men who do things
and who stand out above others as
ones who have made a greater sue
cess than any others in their line
This eliminates all possibility of any
failure for the institution or it's stock
holders.
Messrs. Paul and Lloyd Skinner are
personally acquainted with several OF
our readers, and all who have met
them, speak in highest terms of theil
ability and the courteous treatment
the Skinner Brothers give themwher
! in Omaha.
/ Nearly 100000 of their stock i.
held by Harrison county people. Sev
eral of our readers have written il
to purchase some of these holding
before they are over-subscribed.

.DEN|NG HAS PUT
UP BPBRASSRLANTS
ALL OVER WORLD
One of Industry's Big Men
Arrives Here to. Build
FairmOnt Plant.
WILL RUN It lFTERVAR1
Has Worked at Practically
Every Department of
Brass Plants
WILL RUN IT AFTERWARD

One of the most remarkable men in
the copper and brass industry is Fer
dinand Deming, who has been select
ed by the West Virginia Metal Prod
ucts Corporation as superintendent of
the plant which the corporation is to
build at once in Hickman Run. Mr..
Deming will be in charge of both cree.
tion and operation of the plant.
Mr.. Deming started mis- experience
with the brass and copper business
when in 1869 he hired out as an APP
prentice in brass foundry. From
this apprenticeship he rose to foreman
of the drafting room with the same
company.
In 1874 Mr.. Deming went to the
Farrell Foundry and Machine COM
pany, of Waterbury, Connecticut, as
master mechanic and engineer. His
connection with this firm was ter
minated only by the death of Mr.. Far
rell and dissolution of the concern.
In 1900 Mr.. Deming was commits
stoned by the Farrell Foundry COM
pany to builda brass foundry for the
Rome Brass and Copper company az
Rome, N. Y This plant was built by
Mr.. Deming and most successfully
operated.
His next commission was to build
a large brass and copper rolling mill
at Toronto, Canada, for the Brown
Brass and Copper Rolling Mills.
The Spanish government in 1905
was planning large copper and brass
mill IN connection with their arsenals
and secured the services of Mr.. Dem
ing for the erection of such a plant at
TRIVIA, Spain. This plant was used
to produce copper and brass for the
manufacture of shells for the Spanish
army.
England next heard of Mr.. Deming
and in 1905 he was chosen by the Al.
!en-Everett company, OF Birmingham,
England, to operate their large brass
and copper works there. While with
the Allen-Everret company Mr.. Dem
ing perfected a number of machines
which resulted in great economies in
the operation of the plant.
The Dominion Copper Products COM
pany, of Montreal, Canada, called for
Mr.. Deming in 1914 to design and
build them copper and brass plan.
which would enable them to meet the
tremendous load that was placed upon
them by the war. Mr.. Deming de-
signed and built their plant to their
complete satisfaction.
In 1918 Mr.. Deming was asked to
design and superintend a plant of the
United States Copper company at
Cleveland. Ohio. This plant has now
been completed and Mr.. Deming ar.
rived in Fairmont last night, to be-
gin operations on the plant here. Mr..
Deming will spend all his time In
Fairmont with the exception of what
time will be spent in New York City
in consultation with engineers.
