Two of the famous Lincoln-Doug-

ALEXANDRIA ON
UPGRADE AFTER
SEVERE SLUMP
Prosperity Due. Largely to
Rock Wool Making
Plant.

ALEXANDRIA, Ind, Sept. 90
Alexandria, which declares itself
THE Best Little City in Indiana"
announces that it is in the midst of
modest boom.
The population Is on an upgrade,
and is rapidly nearing the 5000
mark. Houses, once so plentiful
here, are becoming scarce and real
tors are considering building sew
eral new additions.
Much of the citys prosperity is
attributed to the large "rock WOOL
factory. This factory, operated by
the Banner Rock Products Com
pany, manufacturers of heat and
cold insulating materials, has an
nounced a 100000 building pro-
gram and will soon put into opera
ton new plant employing several
hundred men.
Alexandra was founded as a town
in 1877. BY 1893 it had grown to
such proportions that a campaign
was started to incorporate it as a
city. This was done in January of
that year and j. E. Sherman was
elected mayor.
In 1893 the city received a bad
setback as the result of big fire
which destroyed several business
blocks. This was overcome. how
ever, in 1900, when the gas boom
was at its height.
Factories came here from the
East aad the city soon became a
thriving plaI If around $4,000. Gas
was everywhere, I'd in such guam
titles that it seemed there would be,
no end to this valuable fuel. In
fact, Alexandria citizens claim that
had the supply been conserved. this
city would now, be one of the larg-
est in the State.
But with the gas supply wasted
and gradually diminishing factories
soon left the city, and In 1910 the
population dwindled to less than
1000, and has hung at that figure
until the present boom started.

The statement from Mr.. Walters,
strongly praising Konjola, was given
personally by him to The Konjola
Man at Hooks drug store, Illinois
and Washington Sts., Indianapolis,
where large crowds are calling daily
to find out for themselves about
this surprising new medicine.
"I am in favor Of letting the en-
tire city of Indianapolis know about
the wonderful work Of Konjola In
my case" said Mr.. Walters. Since
I have taken this medicine can
truthfully say that ! am free OF
stomach trouble for the first time
In % years, and think any medi-
cine that can make such a change
In q person certainly deserves to be
praised.
"I was suffering at all times with
NV stomach. A great many OF the
men who work with me can verify
this statement. My stomach was
constantly sore. I was always hav-
ing sharp indigestion pains after
meals, and Suffered spells Of nausea.
MY throat and chest would burn
like fire, and no matter how care
full was about eating, I always
suffered anyway.
1T felt like I would gladly give
everything I had just to be free OF
stomach trouble. I was in nlisegy
so many years and tried medicine
upon medicine, but still I suffered.
I had the very best doctors, and /
know they did everything possible
to help me, but now, everyone knows
that I was never free of my stonl-
ach trouble until got Konjola.
NV wife is the one who persuaded
me to try this medicine and 1t
turned out to be just what was
always needing. Now I am like a
different person entirely. I enjoy
my meals, because never suffer
afterward, and don't have a sign
of indigestion pains. The irritation
In my stomach is gone, and the
beIching spells do not come I am
eating better and sleeping better.
Besides ending my stomach trou-
bic, this Konjola also built up my
general system so am feeling bet
ter than have in many years, and
as I said, any medicine that can do
this deserves to be praised"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
Sts., indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits of this
remedy. Konjola is sold in every
Hook store in this city and all drug

Greater smoothness coupled with
more speed have been embodied in

the Federal trucks.
Since taking over the Federal
agency Huffard has found an in
creased demand for Federal trucks,
and business has been very good
for the past month.
Certainly there can be no dis
putting that the six-cylinder motor
truck has less vibration than the
four-cylinder trucks" said Huffard.
"The six-cylinder truck has more
speed, once under way, although
the four-cylinder truck motor may
have a bit better getaway.
