Another Rensselaer Boy Continues Forward Movement.

They get there. We are speaking of Rensselaer boys. And their odd friends In Rensselaer are always glad of it. The latest evidence at hand is the progress Louie Wilcox, now and for some years engaged in the monument business at Springfield, Qhio. The company of which he Isa member is the Kelly & Wilcox Co., and the Springfield Sun of Feb. 15th tells* of a transaction by which that company has cpme into possession of a valuable business location, the corner of Wittenberg avenue and West Main street. A modern 2*. story brick building with two store rooms below and a'suitable room for light manufacturing business above will be erected yet this year. The monument work§ will occupy one of the downstairs rooms. Ever since Louie bottled up and sold mineral watbr from the Surrey well, establishing a market all over the country, we have seen in him a apirit of enterprise that was certain to exhibit itself in substantial success in future years and we are glad to place him in our gallery of Rensselaer ’boys who have gone to the front in their fields of endeavor.
