"Lou” Wilcox Has Made Good In Ohio Capital

If you ever happen to be in Springfield, Ohio and are in search of a friend, just ask for L. M. Wilcox. Don’t make any difference who you ask whether he be street urchin or the leading citizen ox the town. Everybody knows Lou Wilcox. Some few years ago there appeared in Springy field a man by the name of Wilcox, and since his first appearance there, he has made things hum. His pep, ambition, personality, progressiveness and hustle soon won for him the friendship of anyone of any note in Springfield. Lou has not been still a moment since he located there and he has made his presence felt in the business world of-that place. Since his first appearance there he has done things, and is stilt doing them, even if he is not in a very live business. “Lou” has already “arrived,” has accumulated considerable property since locating in Ohio and has made good with a vengeance. At the eleventh annual meeting of the Ohio Retail Monument Dealers’ Association, just closed, Mr. Wilcox was selected as vice-president of the organization, whose membership is made up of men from all over the state. An extended account of the meeting is contained in the Springfield News, along with Mr. Wilcox’s picture. Mr. Wilcox is the son of George M. Wilcox, formerly of Surrey, and a brother of Mrs. F. C. Leek, of this city, and well known to all Rensselaer people, who will be extremely gratified at the success he is attaining in the business world.
