Elsie Janis is internationally

that while George Jean Nathan

he has an illimitable following
among the reading classes.
Gilbert Gabriel, of The Sun,
almost approaches the ideal
critic, combining an unimpeach-

humorous viewpoint that makes
him always readable.

During the revolutionary periods III
Mexico from 1910 to 1920 the retail
branch stores through northern Mex

protection and to avoid risk of losses.
In 1918 q wholesale grocery was
started by the concern in Douglas and
has grown into one Of the most
soundly established businesses in the
entire southwest.
The company decided to withdraw
entirely from Mexico in 1924 and to
operate exclusively in the United
States. That policy has been fol-
lowed since.
Since that policy was adopted the
flour mills in Aqua Prieta have been
sold to the International Commission
company. The sale was completed
June /, 1926.
Firmly established and doing a
business of 100000 a year, the com

1899 to a concern having a capitaliza-
ton of 100000 and doing yearly
business of 100000 is the progress
made by the Sonora Mercantile COM
pany, S. A.
At the present time stockholders in
the company are being bought out
and the firm is being incorporated
under the laws Of Arizona as the
Haymore Mercantile company. The
new company is taking over the as
sets and liabilities Of the old COM
pany.
Millard Haymore will be president
and general manager; J. A. Haymore
vice president and David E. Haymore,
secretary and treasurer. These three,
with Walter t. Haymore and Ed
Haymorc, will make up the board OF
directors.
In 1888 Il. D. Haymore, q native
Carolinan, made his way into the
state of Sonora, Mexico. He later re-
turned to Utah, where he had moved
from North Carolina in 1867, and
started with his family back to So
nora.
They traversed Arizona, crossing the
Colorado at Lees Ferry, and passed
through the Apache reservation. They
reached Bisbee in November, 1896.
Then they passed on through Doug
las and into Mexico, but there was
no Douglas then-not a single house.
Haymore established his retail store
at Colonia Oaxaca in 1899. In 1906
branch store was established at San
Miguelito, Sonora. At about the
same time q branch was put in at
Colonia Morelos, also in Sonora.
Another branch was established in
1906 at Colonia Dublan, Chihuahua
This was closed in 1910 and whole
sale and general store put in in Aqua
Prieta, Sonora.
The business was incorporated un-
der the laws of the republic of Mex

the Sonora Mercantile company.
