Anyone desiring a summer home or
rustic cottage put up is generally re-
ferred to Abel.
August Radke, is one of the old
residents having been here for thirty
years or more. His speciality is NOV
ing buildings and he has great deal
of it to do not only in town but out
side. He also owns some land on
Duck lake where he has some fine
summer cottages that he rents furnish
ed during the summer season to tour
lists.
Herman Korth, contractor and
builder has been in that business for
years and each year has more work
offered him than he can do. His old
customers will often wait at much
inconvenience sometimes, for the sake
of having him do their house building
or whatever it may be that first class
workmanship is desired for.
Ed Frederick lives on Pine St.,
and has for many years as he is one
of the oldest residents and painter
and decorator who always has work
On hand and does his work we'll which
accounts for his always having lots
Of it to do.

North Side Directory

Across the river is the mill and
yards OF the Eagle River Lbr. Co., of
which a more complete description is
given elsewhere. They are one of the
most important Industries of the town
and were in fact the first to come
with the reaction following the decid-
ed slump that took place with the end
ing of the old pine numbering days.
They employ from twenty-five to fiji
ty men all year. In the winter run
ming camps to get out their summer
cut and then as soon as it opens UP
in the spring the mill starts and after
that the planning mill, sash and door
mill and single mills keep the men
busy until time to go into the woods.
Fred Behn is the manager OF the
company and E. F. Giese has charge
of the mill and woods operations.
Leaving the mill yard and crossing
the tracks at the end of the street is
the farm home of Mrs. M. Richmond,
her son Pin and daughter Miss Stan
nard They are also counted among
the pioneers of Eagle River and have
been prominently connected with its
business life for many years.
Next are the homes of Jas. Ober-
holtzer and son Henry. Mr.. Oberholt-
ger Sr., was a state game warden
for many years having charge OF a
large territory and the work is now
in the hands of his son. Both fami-
lies are widely and favorably known
and have always been active in all
that pertained to the progress of
their town.
Coming down the street is found
the home of N. L. Kinney, another
man who has been resident here
since the early days. Mr.. Kinney
owns a large amount of real estate
in and around town and handles real
estate, in fact, has sold great deal
of it. He is a strawberry grower OF
reknown and the most successful al
falfa grower in the county with the
possible exception of G. H. Wiegand
who beat him out for first place at
the last county fair.
Another old resident lives down
the road, upon what was originally
the Kinney homestead. T. B. butcher
is the man we refer to and he has
had a hand in many of the buildings
that have been built at the resorts
and along the lakes, especially at the
Everett resort. He belongs to the
Zimpelmann & Behlow firm and is in
town about as much as though he
was living in Alaska.

On Birch street are the homes Of
D. H. Seward and Herman Korth. The
former, for many years has been the
most exaspcrating, or the most charm
ing man to a very large number of
lady customers, depending upon
whether he has just finished their
he has not yet arrived to do the job.
However, they always relent enough
to serve coffee and pie to him twice
a day oftener than their husband gets
his and after he is through, the re-
suits are always so pleasing that he
is Immediately engaged for the fol
lowing year.
Next door to the Farmers & Mer-
chants State Bank is found the Cash
Market of A. J. De Meyer Starting
in business little more than a year
ago, the store has rapidly worked up
a large trade in fancy groceries, fruits
vegetables, etc. In addition there is
a meat market in charge of an expert
enced meat cutter and the store does
a fine business all the time. For sew
eral years before going into his pre-
sent business Mr. De Meyer was the
local agent of the Standard Oil Co.
here.

Directory Continued

Coming back to the bridge, there is
of business activity on the west side
of the railroad tracks. The first plant
is that of the Eagle River Light &
Power Co. 1t and also the dam and
plant four miles west of town are
the property of the Village of Eagle
River. Edw. Eckhoff, is the manager
and since he has been in charge of
it the business has been greatly en-
larged by the supplying of current to
Three Lakes and also a line out to
Everett resort. 1t is firmly establish
ed on a profitable basis and the bust
ness is growing larger every year
with the rapid growth that is taking
place in Eagle River.
Next is the Eagle River CO-Opera-
tive creamery, a concern that handles
nearly all of the cream product of
Villas county farms. J. G. Seyfert is
the manager and makes an excellent
one. He has a large farm just west
of town in charge of his sons since
he took charge of the creamery. He
is secretary Of the Villas County Fair
Association and also has served the
Wisconsin State Grange in that cap
acity for several years and was reel
ected again at their last annual meet
ing
The next place passed is the shoe
and repair shop of Reinhard Spies.
He does a large business and is so
busy that he is rarely seen on the
streets. He has been a resident here
for years and one of the highly re-
spected ones.
Just below the Jas, Morgan resi-
dence is the Masonic Hail. That is
one of the largest fraternal organi-
cations in town having a membership
of considerably more than 100 mem
bers and as usual everywhere includ-
es the greater part of the best men
in town as members.
Next is the office of Chas. Hanke,
the drayman and dealer in coal. He
ops two teams and three or fou
trucks, all being necessary to handle
the large volume of business that he
transacts during the best part of the
year. He delivers freight, baggage all
other kinds of movable commodities
for a long distance and keeps himself
busy all the time.
The Starks-Radcliffe potato house
is close by and handles the greater
part of the potatoes sold by Eagle
River farmers. Amos Radcliffe, one of
the owners, is also with his brother
Art, owner of a large farm four miles
from town which they largely devote
to potatoes and their own crop will
annually fill a good sized warehouse.

The lumber yards and office of the
F. G. Hall Lbr. Company is owned
by Geo. H. and Frank A. Hall. They
are old hands at the game having
been associated with their father
whose firm name they carry, for
years. They carry a large stock OF
everything in building supplies and
do an immense business. They en-
ploy several men the year around
and in addition to several trucks of
their own are obliged to hire great
deal of hauling to deliver the lumber
sold by them. They are prominent
men in Eagle River George being the
village president and Frank is super
visor for the village and is chairman
of the county board. Their business
success has been excellent and well
deserved.
The Radcliffe Mfg. Co., is the name
of the concern that owns and oper-
ates the lath mill. Built new two
years ago, it has given a market to
farmers and timber owners for a
great quantity of timber that would
otherwise be understandable from be-
ing too small for saw logs. They cut
thirty to forty carloads of lath annu-
ally and with the men in their camps
and around the mill, give employ
ment to nearly one hundred men.
Inserts
On Spruce street is the home of
Jas Merical, another stone and fire
place mason who is busy most of the
year installing fireplaces and other
work in his line at resorts and sum-
mer homes.
Aug. Krieck who has his residence
at the corner of Spruce and Third
streets is another carpenter and con-
tractor who annually builds a great
many houses both in town and sum-
mer homes on the surrounding lakes.
The firm of Zimpelmann & Behlow
do a general contracting business in
building They keep large crew of
men steadily and winter does not
give ther1 much of a slackup as they
always have enough work up and en-
closed to keep them busy on the in
terror L. F. Zimpelmann lives on
First street across from the new
high school, while his partner Louis
Behlow resides across the river.
At the extreme northwest corner
of town is the home of B. Abraham
who has a small farm there and fol-
lows carpenter work most of the time
One way and another he is always
busy and not often seen down town
unless working on a job.
On the North side also lives Abel
Christensen, another skilled man in
anything pertaining to building work.

AS this is particularly an effort to
present the village of Eagle River in
a way that will represent the various
lines of business that individually, Or
collectively, have Z large share in
the upbuiIding of the Town, no dtUempt
will be made to cover the resort in
terests of the vicinity, which to do
properly would require fully as much
space as this edition will consist Of
The Eagle Chain being practically a
part of Eagle River itself, those
places of note to be seen in a two
hours boat trip will be noted. 1t is
our hope to at some future time give
a detailed description not only OF
them, but many others closely ada
cent to Eagle River.
Leaving the village dock, a view
is soon seen of Lake Park where
beautiful water view is obtained. A
little above is what two years ago was
built and operated as Yellow Birch
Lodge, now the private home OF
Chicago people who are making ex-
tensive improvements there this Win
ter On the right hand side is the fine
ly built summer home and grounds OF
John E. Mitchell of ST. Louis who
with his family spent the entire sum-
mer season there. Not far from there
is the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Gin
nochio, of Chicago, known once as Ga
gen Hill, of local historic interest
Since it's purchase by the Ginnichios,
the place has been greatly improved
and it is one of the justly famous
show places of Chain.
The shores are thickly dotted with
summer homes not plainly seen in
summer from a launch, until reaching
Duck lake thoroughfare where on the
right is Keystone Park Resort, with
large hotel and several cottages, pri
vate homes, including that of J. Fred
erick Palmer who owns a great deal
of frontage on that side. Directly
across from the resort is Camp Flam-
beau, boys camp established two
years ago that has had phenomenal
success since starting.
Hiawatha Lodge on Duck lake, is
the property of Mrs. Gladys Walleck.
She has a fine patronage during the
season and has furnished cottages
for rent to those who do not wish
the regular hotel Accommodations.
The Radke cottages are close by
here and also a number of private
homes.
On a peninsula between Otter and
Eagle lake is the Morey resort. This
is one of the most deliberately built
and furnished resorts of the entire
lake region. Mr.. MOrey cannot as
far as age goes, be called pioneer,
in having a great deal to do with
founding some of the largest bust
ness interests of the community, he
should be a very old man. Nearly
thirty-five years ago, with A. Nc
Kenzie they established the first bank
in Eagle River and which they oper-
ated until the death of Mr.. Nc
Kenzie and the subsequent sale of
the bank. Soon after coming here Mr..
Morey acquired large tract of land
between Catfish and Cranberry lakes,
where some twenty seven years ago
he built and started the present Ever
EFT resort, the first resort on the

must HAVE MELODY"
UNCLE JOE DECLARES

Push along all the must
cal instruments your plants can
turn out-we. need all the good
cheer and happiness music brings,
have needed it and always
will need it,
This was Uncle joe Cannon's
parting message, a few hours be-
fore he took his departure for his
Illinois home, says Music Trades.
Every day, almost every hour,
brings us nearer normal in our
commerce and trade. and with the
coming of stabilized conditions and
getting back to pre-war basis. the
demand for musical instruments
will steadily increase.
II have always looked upon music
as very real messenger OF peace,
good will, friendship, good fellow
siip-and we. now more than at any
other time need its helpful, inspirit-
ing influence in our national march
Every real, true American has
music in his heart and keeps step
to a national harmony which cheers
US onward and upward toward our
marvellous destiny"

FORTUNE GALLO
PLANS OPERA
IN HAVANA
San Carlo Company to Pre-
sent Four Weeks Season
of Music.

Like Alexander of old, Fortune
Gallo, the enterprising impresario
of the San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany, is seeking new worlds to
conquer. Mr.. Gallo will take his
,ompany to Havana the last of this
month, where he has completed
arrangements for a four-weeks
season Of grand opera at the Ma
tiona1 Theater. This win be the
first time the San Carlo Company
has ever been heard outside of the
United States. and Mr.. Gallo is
u ng a season in Havana which
promises to eclipse any previous
opera undertaking in the Paris of
West Indies.
In addition to the regular person.
Gallo, through the courtesy of Gatti
Cazazza, has engaged as guest
artists Tita Ruffo, Lucrezia Bori
md Giovanni Martinelli, of the
Metropolitan forces, and Tito
Schipa, Anna Fitziu, Marie Rap
pold, as well as many other world
famous stars.
ana mas not had any grand
opera for several seasons, the last
opera there having been three years
ago, when Caruso broke all world
records in box office receipts in that
city. With the return OF good
times in Cuba due to the large crop
and high prices Of sugar, Mr.. Gallo
says that indications point to a
brilliant success. Offers have also
been made to Mr.. Gallo to take his
company to Caracas following the
Havana season, and 1t Is possible
that the company may visit South
America in June.
