address Mr.. Elmquist rendered his

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
ON BARAER PLACE.

A demonstration Of the Fordso1
Tractor is being given by the Rhodes
Auto Company out on the Barker
Place, where one of the powerful lit
tie machines is putting big field in
apple pie order in the fastest time
ever made in Henderson County. Il.
K. Stepp, who is a pretty good autho-
rity on farm work, says that he has
never seen a better job of plowing,
and it is done at the rate of from eight
to ten acres a day, the whole outfit
being handled by one man, who hac
had less than half a days experience
in handling the tractor before starting
in on this field. A big double-1isc
harrow is also used, and after both
machines have been put over the
ground it looks like somebody's pet
garden. Parties interested in seeing
the demonstration are invited to ge:
in touch with Mr.. F. S. Wetmur.

wa5 rho1ed Into its present home.
The business as it stands today is {.
splendid monument to good nerve,
'lard work, sni fair dealinsg and final
success has ~ CT wrung from repeat
td diaster. Ore of the largest mer-
camille businesses in this section OF
the state, it is housed in quarters that
would do credit to the retail district
Of any city in the country. The store
now employs fifteen people regularly,
and adds many more at busy seasons.
The two floors "a by 1O8 feet, as well
as the large mezzanine floor, are tax
ed to their capacity by the demands Of
the business, and arrangements are
now being made to convert the large
hall on the second floor into a stock
room. Many thousands of dollars are
invested in the handsome furniture
and equipment, mahogany and plate
glass ale everywhere, while overhead
81 modern cash trolley connecting the
cashiers desk with every part of the
store is kept busy handling it's load OF
money. While the stock of goods lite-
rally includes every item of clothing
which can be wanted for man, woman
or child, from the top Of the head to
the sole of the foot; nothing is omit
ted
The atmosphere OF the whole es-
tahlishment is one of prosperity anG
growth; of success; Of good business.
And it is deserved. This sketch gives
but an outline of the difficulties which
have been met and overcome in the
building up, Of this establishment. The
rsul: is one which has been achieved
by hard work and unfailing nerve, by
close attention to every feature of the
business, and by unvarying fair treat
ment of the patrons of the store.
In addition to achieving business
success Mr.. Patterson has written his
name plainly as one of the most gene
rous and public spirited citizens of the
town. In outright gifts for different
charitable purposes over $500 was ex-
pended last year, and Mr.. Patterson's
name appears unfailingly opposite a
generous subscription in every move
