Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 August 1916 — Former Milroy Resident Now at Wilmington, Ill. [ARTICLE]

Former Milroy Resident Now at Wilmington, Ill.

J. A, Tune, a former resident of Milroy tp., but who for some years has been residing at Forest, 111., writes The Democrat in renewing his subscription and directs us to change his address to Wilmington, 111., where he is now manager of the Beatty Lumber Co. Mr. Tune enclosed a clipping from the Wilmington Advocate which will be of interest to his old friends in Jasper county. It says: £ I. N. Beatty of the lumber company met his Wilmington manager, J. A. Tune, in Joliet Tuesday where they closed a contract to furnish Monahan & Bros., the successful bidders for putting in the sewer system in our city, all the sewer pipe, stone, brick and cement to be used in the building of this system. It will require nearly 100 cars to bring this material here. We are more than pleased to know that we have a firm in our city who is prepared to “go out” after business, and with a man like Tune in charge of the yards here we don’t think that any job of this kind is going to “get away,” if he can help it. Wish we had more men like Mr. Tune among ns.
