in capitalizing opportunities. and this
is why fortune smiles along the path
way of NJ. p. Wheeler. who came to
Casper in April. 1890. At that time
Casper was just a spot in tho sage
brush at the end of the Northwestern
line . Merchandise was shipped over
land to Thermopolis, RLffalo and Ian.
der by what was known at that time
as string teams, which consisted OF a
string of from eight to twenty-fou
horses. Or oxen.
Mr.. Wheeler was born In Ashtabula
Ohio. and in his early manhood he
took up the occupation of teaching
school. He taught in Casper in the
early pioneer days. and being a man
who had an eye to the future. and
having great confidence In the devel-
opment Of Central Wyoming. he de.
cided to make this his permanent
home. Consequently he purchased
a ranch about four miles southwest
Of Casper.
IF anything is worth doing at all
1t is worth doing right" That Is one
of Mr.. wheler's principles. picked up
when he was n boy. and he has never
deviated from It since. The early
days Of this ranch found Mr.. Wheeler
experimenting. but continually build.
ing up. He raised horses. hogs and
rar sheep. and finally entered the
dairy business.
II you want to sec what a real
dairy looks like. go out and give Mr..
wheeler's place the uncover. 1t is
a revelation in equipment and m
cheney. After you have seen It,
you will agree that this institution
is a valuable asset to the community
of which It is n part; and you will
also agree that the service which this
dairy gives, follows as the result OF
Mr.. Wheeler's early resolve Of doing
things right
The reports of the state Of wyo-
ming show tina no other dairy equals
the Wheeler dairy in size, quality ana
equipment. The area comprises 1851
acres, 617 OF which. Ia owned by Mr..
Wheeler, tho balance is under lease.

The members of this firm having
had so many years experience in this
line. 1t may be said of them that they
are thoroughly conversant with the
business details and are offering to
the people of Casper and vicinity a
splendid medium for purchasing mer-
chandise of quality and value which
will be as represented. They are
also in a position to advise wisely
on what to buy.
Mr.. Sha6iy's two daughters. Jose

's4. which homestead the Mountain
Realty and Title corporation has han
died since 1910 in the form of city
lots.
In 1910. Mr.. Butler put on an auc-
ton sale of lots on what is now east
Twelfth street between Durbin and
Bonnie Brae. selling the lots al prices
ranging from $25.0 0 to $4,000. Many
a man lives to regret that he smiled
at Mr.. Buffers optimism and turned
away without a contract for a few
lots in his pocket: those who believed
in Casper are having their smile now.
These lots now sell for $2.5OO.0o and
this year the pavement is to be ex'
tended through this section.
Shortly after plating Butler Add
ton. Alex T. Butler died without
knowing that his hopes would ever be
realized. He had done all in his pow.
er to build up Casper and to make 1t
possible for all who wished to have
homes. He did not live to see the
first home built on his homestead. AT
ter his death his heirs continued to
pursue his pet policy and. as a re-
suit, all of east Butler Addition. that
part of the city Lying east of the hos
pital. East Burlington. Sheridan
Heights and some other smaller sec
tons have become h sites of happy

The Mountain Realty and Title

East Casper through this pipehne
which, until recently. has beer no es-
pecial benefit to the company except
ing that the City of the Dead has been

wonderful city. The city has never
been asked to reimburse the company.
When Miffin NJ. Butler. the son OF

The company makes It possible for
any man or woman to have a home
and be happy and this has always
been the policy of The Mountain Real
ty and Title corporation.
Mrs. Butler-C romer, who is presi.
dent of the company predicts that
Casper will be a city of one hundred
thousand in ten years. She is not
alone in this prophecy and in the
meantime the fortunate man will have
a close-in home in n restricted district
where he will always be proud to live.
Remember fair treatment. courtesy
and ~leniency have always been and
always will be the policy of this COM
pany which is conducted by the peo-
pie who have lived in Casper when
things looked rather dark and have
learned to sympathize with people
in their struggles.
People of Casper appreciate the fact
that they are to have a chance to
vacate the Easements. cellars. chick

has a right to live. No man is SO poor
that he may not live in Butler Add

be rich today. 1t is not too late-
Casper is still in its infancy. As OF

function Is to assist the American

To say that Mr.. Shady knows this
class of merchandise would be put
ting 1t mild. When Just a mere lad.
he received his initiation into the
business world. Being naturally
adapted with ability for this class of

opportunity year by year, until at

proud of his excellent achievements.

Rushville. Nebr., and Mr.. Shady was
connected with the latter store six
years prior to his. taking the man
agership of the Casper store. The
local store opened up for business on
September 1, 1929. And from the

Chinese Take to Frozen Meat.

Argentina is giving Australia a run
for her money in supplying China and
the Far East with frozen meat. While
the Chinese have in the past preferred
the taste and smell of fresh-killed
meat, they are gradually being edu-
Gated to eat the frozen variety, says
Consul General Thomas Sammons,
Melbourne, in report just received by
the Department of Commerce, and
there is general belief that they will
ultimately become accustomed to using
frozen meat freely. On the other hand
Australian butter is selling well in
China and Japan, While canned fruits
and jams from the island continent are
being taken in increasing quantities.

Novel Aerial Switch
Cuts Out the Leaks

The weak point Of most aerial sys-
TENS is the lightning switch. This is
true especially in wet weather, the
radiation often being halved, or in
very bad cases the spark jumps direct
ly to ground, making use of the
wet switch base in so doing. Various
methods of setting the switch blade
and jaws on insulators to overcome
this leakage have been described,
but in most cases the construction has
been rather complicated, and consider
able time and energy have been re-
quired to make neat job. The switch
illustrated in the sketch was made in
the spare hours of an off afternoon,
and the time spent was fully repaid In
the comfort derived from it.
A regulation 500-volt 100 amp. S.
P. T. d. knife switch, mounted on a
composition base that leaked badly
at the least sign of dampness, was
used. Three electrode ball insulators
were procured, care being taken to
see that the iron rings were in line
with each other and fastened tightly.
If they are not in line and rigidly fas-
tened the jaws will either be mounted
crooked or will wobble.
The blade and jaws were removed
from the base and three-quarter inch
holes were drilled one-half inch in
from the edge, directly opposite the
original ones, as shown in Fig. 2
These holes must be -;ounterSunk on

Tremendous Strides
by Radio Past Year

The tremendous strides taken by
radio during the past year are revealed
in the annual report of the Radio Cor

Gently. The company did business
of almost S15,0O0,000 in sales in addi-
tion to the handling of between 30 and
40 per cent of the trans-oceanic COM
munication.
The outstanding developments of the
year. as summarized by the organiza-
ton, are:
Handling of 20 to 80 per cent of
volume of business across Atlantic
ocean, competing with II cables.
Handling Of from 40 to so per cent
Of business across the Pacific ocean.
Cross sea radio delivery service es-
tablished.
High power vacuum tubes used for
first time in long distance wireless
telegraphy.
On three occasions during the year
the radio circuits met the emergency
caused by failure Of cables and tele-
graph lines.
