NEW ELEVATOR
AND SEED HOUSE
Jacob Weiss & Sons Purchase the
Temple Lumber Yard Property and
Will Erect Large Elevator
A WHOLESALE CANDY FACTORY
Wm. Savery Purchases Ground Just
West of Temple Lumber Yard Prop
erty for Factory Site
The year 1919 promises to be a ban
ner year in the history of Denison
from the standpoint of improvements
and new business ventures. At the
annual meeting of the Commercial
club held the fore part of this month,
George Naeve intimated that before
another month passed there would be
an announcement that would open the
eyes of the people of Denison and
mean much to the growth and ad
vancement of the city. Yesterday Mr.
Naeve made the announcement to the
two Denison newspapers which will
be of great interest to everyone.
New Elevator and Seed House
Jacob Weiss & Sons have purchased
the W. R. Temple lumber yard prop
erty, located at the foot of Sweet
street, and contemplate the erection
of a large concrete elevator and seed
house. This property was purchased
a few weeks ago by Mr. Naeve who in
turn sold It to Mr. Weiss. The loca
tion is most desirable, being on a
paved street fronting on a sidetrack
of the Northwestern. The lot is 97%x
189% feet.
Mr Weiss, in speaking of this im
provement with a representative of
the Review, said that the present quar
ters of the Denison Seed company are
too small to adequately carry on the
fast increasing business. It is his plan
to erect a large concrete elevator and
reed warehouse on this excellent site.
The elevator and warehouse/will be
fireproof and all of the latest machin
ery and appliances will be installed
to handle the business.
Plans have not yet been drawn for
these buildings and it is possible that
the improvement will not be made un
til building conditions have improved.
Mr Weiss, however, hopes to have
the building underway this summer.
The Denison Seed company Is one
of Denison's growing institutions and
the concern is known throughout Iowa,
Nebraska and Illinois. It was estab
lished only a few years ago by E. C.
Baum, who sold out later to &£ob
Weiss & Sons. Albert Weiss has been
managing this business for the past
year or more, his father assisting him
during the busy season of the year.
Under the management of Albert the
business has grown by leaps and
bounds until now it is one of the larg
est establishments of its kind in west­
Wf
3
ern Iowa. The company handles only
the best of seeds and has a reputation
for honesty and integrity. The com
pany deals in all kinds of seed. Dur
ing the past season they have been
wholesaling seeds in car load lots, fur
nishing other seed houses with seeds
grown in this community. Mr. Weiss
tells us that Denison is an ideal lo
cation for a business of this kind, lo
cated as it is in the heart of an agri
cultural conynunity which has t'ne rep
utation of growing the best of seed.
This will be a great improvement for
Denison. Jacob Weiss & Sons have
great faith in Denison and are never
found wanting when it comes to back
ing every worth while project. We
congratulate them on their enterprise
and know that they will enjoy an even
greater business in years to come.
New Factory to Be Built.
Denison is to have a real manufac
turing establishment. Wm. Savery
has purchased the three lots on the
corner of Sweet and State street, lo
cated just across the street west from
the Temple lumber yard. Mr. Savery
will erect a good brick building on
this site which will be used for the
manufacture of candy and ice cream.
A portion of the building will be de
voted to storeroom for the lines which
he is wholesaling in this territory.
When interviewed yesterday by a
Review reporter, Mr. Savery stated
that he will put up a substantial brick
building and one that will be a credit
to the city. It is his intention to man
ufacture ice cream and candy in quan
tities which he will wholesale in this
territory. All of the latest machinery
for the manufacturing of candy and
ice cream will be installed which will
include an ice manufacturing plant.
Mr. Savery intends to erect two
bungalows on the two west lots for
his sons who will manage this plant.
Few people in Denison appreciate
just what a factory of this nature will
mean for Denison.. The plant will
employ a number of men and girls
and the goods manufactured here will
find a ready market in the middle
west. Mr. Savery spent a number of
years in the bottling business and
thoroughly appreciates the possibili
ties of an ice cream and candy fac
tory.
The Review believes that such a
concern will prosper in Denison under
the able management of Mr. Savery.
George Huffman called at the Re
view office yesterday and arranged for
advertising the Cleveland tractor
which he and his father have the agen
cy for in this territory. George has
one of these tractors on his father's
farm west of town and says it is one
of the most successful ones on the
market. It is of the crawler type,
which insures more traction, shorter
turning radius and has less ground
pressure. George will be only too
glad to demonstrate this tractor to in
terested parties. Read his advertise
ment on page 7 of the first section.
PACKED HOUSE
GREETS QUARTET
Overseas Quartet, Under Auspices of
Boy Scouts, Greeted With Very
Lorge Audience Monday Night
HAD FOUGHT WITH CANADIANS
Boy Scouts Increased Their Bank Ac-,
count to "the Extent of $100—
Now Building a Cabin
The Overseas quartet, which appear
ed here in concert and lecture at the
opera house on Monday evening, was
greeted with a packed house. The en
tertainment was given under the aus
pices of the Boy Scouts of the city,
and through their efforts the affair
was widely advertised and a large
number of people from surrounding
towns as well as from our own com
munity were present to enjoy the en
tertainment.
The company was composed of four
men, one American, two Scotchmen
and one Irishman, who had all fought
with the Canadian army and all dis
charged owing to physical disabilities.
Harry Bull, the American, who was
the lecturer, was seriously handicap
ped with a cold which affected his
voice and made it almost impossible
for him to talk, but he made a brave
effort and delivered a talk which was
listened to with profound interest by
the entire audience. Private Bull
played an important part in several
battles and was severely wounded in
the battle of Hill No. 70, from which
he did not recover sufficiently as to
be able to again enter the service,
having lost one limb.
In his talk he touched upon the re
ligious life of the soldier and also told
many interesting incidents of every
day life among the boys while in ac
tive service. He paid the highest trib
ute to the Red Cross and the good
work it has accomplished throughout
the entire period of the war, and as
sured the audience that in contribut
ing to this cause they were giving to
the most worthy cause in the world's
history. He spoke briefly of the atroc
ities committed by the Germans, class
ing them with the heathen and un
civilized population of the world. The
speaker paid his respects to the pro
Germans here in the United States
and told how the German thrift stamps
had been sold right here in this coun
try while we were at war with Ger
many. He advised that the pro-Ger
mans be taken care of before the boys
came iback from the other side or there
would be something doing. His talk
lasted for over an hour and during
that time he held the wrapt attention
of the audience and his remarks
brought forth hearty applause.
Other members of the quartet en­
This unprecedented event offers
every suit and overcoat in stock, re

of men's garments when they left.

In blue, gray, and brown serges, Scotli mixtures, tweeds,
novelties, and in fact, all desirable materials. All sizes are
included in our showing, from 33 to 46. The majority of the
garments offered are suits made by FRUHAUF, which means
garments made up of pure wool materials. Each suit is made

in by hand, not by machine. FRUHAUF Suits means suits
of the highest quality, garments of lasting style.
This offer is purely for your benefit—MEN—don't fail
to take advantage of it. Such an offer may not repeat itself
in years. We realize of course, that woolens of all sorts will

remarkably low prices. As we sajd before, this offer is for
your benefit—it means an actual saving of dollars, regardless
of whatever reductions may take place.

chandise of the highest quality. The workmanship on these

tertained the audience with various
musical selections, the last of which
was a medley of trench songs as sung
by the boys while u\ camp and on the
march, and which consisted of clever
parodies on well known and popular
songs. These were greatly enjoyed
and received enthusiastic applause.
The entertainment closed witii the
singing of "My Country 'Tis of Thee,"
in which the entire audience joined.
The Boy Scouts through their ef
forts increased their bank account to
the extent of more than $100. The
boys are now building a cabin in the
Weberg woods south of the city and a
portion of the proceeds of this enter
tainment will go toward putting a roof
on and furnishing the interior.
BANK INCREASES CAPITAL
First National Increases Capital Stock
to $200,000 at Annual Meeting
Held Recently
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the First National bank of
this city the capital stock was in
creased from $100,000 to $200,000. The
stockholders adopted the following
resolution:
"Because of the unusual demands
upon banks in the financing of the gov
ernment's requirements and to main
tain our ability to accommodate our
increasing patronage and continue
ample security to depositors, resolved
that the capital stock of this associa
tion be increased from $100,000 to
$200,000."
All of the increased stock was sub
scribed for by the present holders of
the original stock, who are W. A. Mc
Henry, Sears McHenry, George Mc
Henry, L. Seemann, Margaret H. Mc
Henry, Jennie McHenry Seemann and
Abbie McHenry George.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: W. A. McHenry,
president George McHenry vice pres
ident Sears McHenry, cashier, and
L. Seemann, assistant cashier.
The vault at the Commercial bank
was completed last week. Mr. Miller
is installing this week a large Ely
Norris patented manganese steel safe
fitted with a time lock. This safe is
of the latest design and weighs more
than two tons. It is burglar and fire
proof. Mr. Miller informs us that
Lieut. Edward Lehman has accepted
a position with the new bank and is
expected in Denison the last of this
week to commence his duties as assist
ant cashier. Edward has had six
years of experience in the banking
business, having been associated with
the Commercial bai*k Schleswig up
until the time he e»t*red lhe service.
Soon after going to Camp Dodge he
was recommended for the officers'
training school and received a com
mission as second lieutenant. He is
well known throughout the county and
will prove a valuable man for the
Commercial bank.
A MEMORIAL
FOR "THE BOYS"
Iowa Historical Society Seeking to
Obtain Name, Record, Photograph
and Biography of Iowa Soldiers
GROUP PICTURE IN COURT HOUSE
Commercial C!ub Endeavoring to Pro
vide Suitable Memorial in Way of
Permanent Picture Display
The Reveiew is in receipt of a letter
this morning from Rep. Leon W. Pow
ers, advising us that the Iowa State
Historical society is making an ef
fort to obtain the name, military rec
ordTphotograph and a short biograph
ical statement concerning each sol
dier in the state of Iowa who died in
the uniform of the United States.
An effort should be made by the
relatives and friends of the soldiers
to provide this information so that
Crawford county's record of sacrifice
in the great war may be available for
use of future historians.
The Denison Commercial club is
now endeavoring to provide a suitable
memorial in the way of a permanent
display of pictures of all of our Craw
ford county boys who served in the
army. This collection should be made
complete. Other counties of the state
have already started on this undertak
ing.' It will require possibly a year
or more to secure all of these pictures,
with the data giving the organization
and the service of each soldier who
went from the county. The expense
should be gladly borne by all our peo
ple through appropriations by the
board of supervisors.
The plan in mind is to secure these
pictures in whatever way possible,
then have copies of them made in per
manent form, all pictures thus to be
exactly the same size and all in frames
exactly alike, so that no favoritism
will be shown. A permanent frame
can be attached to the wall of the ro
tunda in the main floor space of the
court house and these small picture
frames can be slipped into the frame
or rack, making a beautiful freize or
border about 32 inches wide extending
all the woy around the rotunda at a
suitable height for people to study
and view the pictures.
Such an exhibit would be perma
nent and the pictures can be added
right along as they are made ready.
Let old Crawford not delay in this
important matter but get this going
while the bays can be reached. We
are all proud of the record made by
our boys in this war and should take
this opportunity of honoring them.
Then too, we should leave a perma
nent record for the future generations.
Let every parent and the friends of

DENISON BEATS MO. .VALLEC
The high school basket ball team
defeated the Missouri valley team in
a hotly contested game at the gym
nasium on Friday evening of last week
At the close of the game the score
stood S3 to 24 in Denison's favor.
Coach Weiss was proud of the show
ing made by the Denison players
against the hardest team they have
met this season. The game was nip
and tuck throughout, both teams be
ing almost evenly matched. The Den
ison boys were weak on baskets, but
they outgeneralled their opponents at
every stage of the game.
The score at the end of the first half
was 15 to ti in Denison's favor. The
last half proved a tie, both teams mak
ing IS points. Missouri Valley show
ed more class in the last half and put
up an excellent exhibition of basket
ball.
Denison has an exceptionally fine
team this year. Albert Weiss, who
was one of the crack players at the
State Agricultural college, is coach
ing the boys, and he seems to have
the ability to develop fast players.
Mrs. W. R. Temple retumed home
no Sunday evening from Council
Bluffs, where she spent several days
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L.
M. Patterson. She reports that Mr.
Patterson is improving slowly from
his recent severe injuries received
last Tuesday evening. Mr. Patterson
is a conductor on the Northwestern
and as the train neared California
Junction he alighted to ascertain the
cause of a signal which was against
him, and not knowing that the train
had stopped on a bridge, he missed
his footing and fell a distance of fif
teen feet or more. He suffered a brok
en rib and was badly bruised and
shaken up. Mr. Patterson was imme
diately taken to the Jennie Edmund
son hospital in Council Bluffs, where
he is now receiving treatment, and
while his injuries are not of a serious
nature, his recovery will be slow on
account of the severe bruises receiv
ed. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Patterson will regret to learn of the
accident, and trust that he may have
a speedy and complete recovery.
The directors and stockholders of
the Farmers Co-Operative society will
hold their annual meeting and elec
tion of officers in the assembly room
at the court house on Saturday of this
week. After the business session Mr.
Foster, of Ames, will speak on some
co-operative topic which will be of in
terest.

GREENE AFTER
BOOTLEGGERS
Three Men From Dunlap Arrested Fri
day—Had 24 Quarters of Whis
key—Fined $100 Each
ALBERT MAHLER IS CAUGHT
Denison Man Carrying 28 Quarts Met
at Northwestern Station Sunday
—Will Stop Bootlegging
Several men have been arrested by
the officers in Denison during the past
few days for illegally transporting liq
uor and have received heavy fines.
Sheriff A. C. Greene and Deputy Sher
iff Jacob Johnson, assisted by F. L.
Hoffman, were instrumental in cap
turing the guilty parties and the liq
uor confiscated totaled about sixty
quarts.
Three young men residing at Dunlap
were arrested Friday night at the
Northwestern passenger station. They
had been at St. Joe. Mo., and arrived
in Denison on the 8:16 train in the
evening from Council Bluffs, intend
ing to ta.ke the local to Dunlap that
night. Unfortunately for them they
fell into the hands of the officers who
relieved them of about twenty-four
quarts of whiskey. They were tried
before Justice 'Bliesman Saturday
morning and were fined $100 and
costs each.

Albert Mahler was arrested at the
Northwestern station early- Sunday
morning as he alighted from the east
bound train and was greeted by the
officers of the law who relieved him
of two very heavy suitcases which
were found to contain some 28 quarts
of whiskey as well as several bottles
of wine. He wa,s confined to the
county jail and tried before Justice
Bliesman Monday forenoon and plead
guilty to the charge of transporting
intoxicating liquor illegally. He was
fined $100 and costs or thirty days in
the county jail. He elected to serve
the time in jail.
A young man from Vail was arrested
early Monday morning at the North
western passenger station on a
charge of being drunk and disorderly.
Officers found a quart of whiskey in
his possession. He put up a bond of
$25 for his appearance Monday morn
ing but this was forfeited as he failed
to appear before Mayor Laub at the
appointed hour.
Local officers state that they do
not propose to allow bootleggers to
operate in this territory and will keep
hot on their trail. It is a well known
fact that there has been considerable
bootlegging going on in the county
for the past six months. It may l?e
possible that some of the big operat
ors will be brought to light within the
next few weeks.
