Before the t xplosion the plant belonged to Hiram Shaekley (we called him Hy) who was the founder. After the explosion a company was organized and called the Shaekley Wheel Company Which rebuilt the building on the same ground where the old factory stood, bat it was extended west to the street and is now the main part of the sale barn on First streqt. This is no guessing for I know. 1 lived at that time on the corner of Jeff rson and First streets and worked the summer after the accident and part of the winter for the company.

This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema, that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Because of its germ-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the Bobing, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a clear, ■ smooth skin in piece of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for im-' provement. It quickly shows. You .can get a little jar of Rowles Mentho-j [Sulphur at any drug store.

Pay Your Doctor Part - If You Cannot Pay All. Your doctor knows the merchants in this town. He knoxvs hoxv you pay them. He knows that you could pay part of your bill, if you cannot pay all —and that there is absolutely no excuse you can give for not at least letting hirn know what you intend to do. See him at once, and arrange to pay a little each week, or pay half and make a definite promise xvhich you will keep to pay the balance at some definite time. Anyone who really desires to remain honest can settle any bill in this way. Only a real “dead-beat" will consciously remain absolutely silent and let his creditors think what they will. As long as you simply stow his statements away with never a line of explanation or a word of apology to him about them, he must conclude that you are willing he should class you as dishonest. For the money you are xvithholding from him is not actually yours you know. It is his. He gave you his time and cheerful services, assuming that when he was done you would pay up like a man. He did not “look up your credit” as the merchants do. He just came when you called. He did not ask you before attending you and your family how you expected to pay. He gave you freely of his time. Now you should pay him. Pay your doctor part—if you cannot pay ail. As you think this over, your doctoi is thinking, too. What is he thinking about you? Advertisement.
