would be granted to them by the allies
their own SOIL said Mgr. JouIy. IN
stead of being made safe for democracy,
The world seems to have only been
made safe for the greed Of the big
powers who began 10 use the League Of
Nations as an instrument by means OF
which they justified their acts in ccloniZ-
ing those weak nations that once stood
by them and fought their battles.
Being a clergyman Of the Ortho-
dox Church, my mission is and can be
nothing else but one of peace. charity
md brotherly love toward men OF all
.reeds and religions, be they Moham-
'nedans. Christians, DruzeS or Jews,
thus following the example Of our
Great Master, who shed His blood
for US.
But as n Christian, born in the
land that was the birthplace of our
great Savior and the country OF all
creeds and religions, l cannot but
feel the great wrong that was done
that Holy Land.
81 am here, therefore, in this great
country not only to preach the Gospel
of our Lord and Master 10 my fellow
;ountrymen, who have always proved
10 be good American citizens, and |
most heartily hope will remain such,
but also to enlighten them and the
American public regarding the pres
cnt situation in the Near East in gem
eral and the Holy Land in particular,
and to try to gain their sympathy
ind moral support if possible.

WEST END LUMBER
COMPANY AMONG
VETERAN YARDS HERE
John 7. Wilson Tells How
Business Was Built to
Present Size.

The West End Lumber company
possesses share of the unquenchable
spirit for which the Lone Star State
has long been famous, says John 4.
Wilson, the president of the company.
For, states Mr.. Wilson, the West
End Lumber company. like the Lone
Star State has passed through many
tests and hardships before it sue
cecdcd in attaining the stability and
prosperity which it has enjoyed for
the last 24 years since it has been
under its present management. The
West End Lumber company is one
of the pioneer companies of Texas
and the force and momentum of its
inherent stability has carried it safe
ly through much longer and more
adventurous life than most companies
enjoy.
The West End Lumber company
was founded nearly 40 years ago,
when in 1896 Charles Weber and G..
North Flores street. The company
changed partners several times, but
Mr.. Gahwiler continued to be the
principal owner. In 1900 Mr.. Will
son purchased half interest in the
company for a consideration of
$500. Mr.. Wilson also agreed to
assume a debt of $1,000 which the
company owed. Ellis Albaugh. nov
with the Albaugh- Wright Lumber
was at this time employed
by Mr.. Wilson.
During the ensuing year the bust
ness continued to prosper and in 1901
was incorporated with capital stock
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-02

Of $4,000, only $4,000 of which was
paid in. At the first meeting of the
stockholders. Mr.. Wilson was elected
president, Mr.. Gahwiler, general man
ager and Mr.. Albaugh, secretary and
treasurer. These three heads of the
business were also elected to the di-
rectorship. In 1902 the company pur-
chased its present site at TT North
Salado street. The present yards
and offices of the West End Lumber
company are on this block which en-,
ables the company to have railroad
trackage directly into ting yards.
Since 1902, the company's business
has increased in volume and the CAPT
tai stock has been doubled and re-
doubled. In 1902, an amendment was
filed to increase the capital stock
to $4,000, in 1907. it was increased
to $4,000 and was doubled again in
1908, and was finally increased in
1913 to 100000 fully paid in. Mr..
Wilson states that OH January 1, the
surplus showed S1JS,000.
