Evilsizer Starts
Career As Plumber
41 Years Ago
Transfiguring the old Norval Mor
ris blacksmith shop-garage into one
of Caldwell’s newest business estab
lishments, is a feat soon to realize
Jonah W. Evilsizer the recognition
as a progressive and an enterprising
local business man. Attempting to
follow the modern course of events
and times, Mr. Evilsizer will emerge
from the “old methods of doing busi
ness” and set anew upon a system
which will provide the people of
Noble county and adjoining com
munities the full benefits of a mod
ern store, dealing primarily in the
manly arts of plumbing, wiring, and
heating.
Located at 302 East street, the
many improvements made by the
owner, will undoubtedly place his
store among the finest in this section
of Ohio. The arrangement gives the
public a view of a modern display
room, showing the latest in complete
bathrooms, modern kitchens, and all
types of heating units. For display
ing these devices and merchandise,
Mr. Evilsizer has coupled this ar
rangement with newly built-in
shelves and show cases. All this
The Fish Pond!
Not to be out-done by the unusual,
Jonah W. Evilsizer,f in the course of
his remodeling, decided to apply a
little of his “love” for flowers and
fish right in with the lot of it all.
To accomplish this end, “Jonah”
inserted an imitation fish pond in
the center of the display room floor.
Blocked and cut to exact propor
tions, inlaid linoleum bears a rea
sonable facsimile of the real McCoy.
Outlined with irregular yellow cut
linoleum blocks, representing stones,
the pond make-up consists of five
water lilies and 12 lily pads, all
proportionately spaced within a pas
tel shade of blue.
The design was artistically ar
ranged by William Hill of the Wil
liam Hill store, whose work indeed
represents that of a master’s hand.
For the unusual, “Jonah” bears
careful watching!
In conjunction with operating a
successful business, Evilsizer is a
great lover of the outdoors, culmin
ated with his desire for beautiful
flowers. His work and interest in
this phase of Mother Nature’s won
ders, is evident by the exquisite ar
ray of his flower garden, located
between his home and business es
tablishment.
This arrangement can be classified
in a lesser sense as a botanical gar
den hardly comparable to the
world’s famous botanical garden
near Rockhampton, Queensland, Aus
tralia. The writer having viewed
both, can share Jonah’s imagination
of what a botanical garden for Cald
well should look like.
gives the room a modernistic ap
pearance and is set in a color
scheme of light green painted walls,
aided with indirect fluorescent
lighting for full affects.
The two rooms in the rear have
been cleaned and will serve as the
firm’s shop room and storage room.
“Jonah”, as he is more commonly
referred to among his many friends,
started upon his career 41 years ago,
in 1905, at the early age of 14 with
his half-brother, C. E. Kinsinger,
serving as an apprentice for $1.00
a week, “and a full week at that”,
so he stated. In 1934, the firm of
Kinsinger & Brother (J. W. Evil
sizer) came into existence, and was
concluded in 1926 when Kinsinger’s
interests were purchased by Doris
Hutcheson.
The plumbing business was con
tinued as Evilsizer & Hutcheson un
til 1927 when full ownership was ac
quired by the former. The shop was
then located in the building owned
by T. M. Ehlermann, jn the rear of
Ehlermann service station.
It was not until 1934 that the pur
chase was made of the home and
business establishment which he now
occupies. Realizing the importance
of maintaining a store and shop
room in order to adequately supply
and serve the public in a manner
which he feels it is entitled
to, “Jonah” quietly planned his fu

Down Sanatorium
Ray Shriver, chairman of the
Noble county commissioners, stated
today that they had turned down
the proposition that Noble would go

purchase the Rocky Glen sanatorium

The initial cost to Noble county
would have been approximately
$8,000.

ers deemed it more advisable to re
tain the “pay as you go” basis.

Parking Meters Are
Slated For Caldwell
In the opinion of Mayor S. M. Se
crest, the Caldwell business zone
will soon have parking meters and
as chief executive of the community
he has gone on record favoring
them.
The present plan calls for parking
meters to be installed on all sides
of the public square and possibly one
block off the business zone, in each
direction.
Mayor Secrest pointed out that
the meters would soon pay for
themselves and do much to eliminate
the usual congestion of traffic in

particularly on Saturday evenings.
All revenue received from the
meters would go into the general
fund which operated last year “in
the red”.
It is expected that the council will
take the matter up at their next

work. The presiding officials receive

DELINQUENT SALE
TO BE HELD HERE
FRIDAY, MAY 24
Beginning At 9:30
A. M., Sale Will
Continue Daily
At 9:30 o’clock, on Friday morn
ing, May 24, Auditor Ray McVay
will offer for sale, the first list of
delinquent lands in Noble county.
The sale will be held from the east
door of the courthouse and will con
tinue from day to day, at the same
time, until all the land has been sold.
Mc\ ay stated that Tom Rossiter
and James Watson would be in
charge of selling the lands. The
procedure of the sale and its pur
pose will be explained by Auditor
McVay that morning.
The new list of lands, now ready
for sale, is appearing on page eight
in this issue of The Journal.
Owners of the property still have
an opportunity to pay off the taxes,
but unless a treasurer’s receipt is
produced on that morning, it will be
sold to satisfy such taxes, assess
ments, penalties, interest and costs
which might be against it.
Since the list was first published,
28 tracts of land have been with
drawn from the sale, inasmuch as
the owners appeared at the court
house and paid off the delinquent
taxes.
As previously stated, the sale on
May 24, contains only the delinquent
real estate in the county.
As soon as possible, Auditor Mc
Vay, Prosecutor Leo E. Carter, and
Ray Shriver, chairman of the board
of commissioners, will prepare a list
of all the delinquent coal lands in
the county and this likewise will be
published. The same procedure will
be followed and the sale will prob
ably be held the latter part of June
or in July.
Immediately after the June tax
collection and a settlement has been
made between Treasurer Ira Pryor
and Auditor Ray McVay, the list of
new delinquent lands in the county
for the past year will be compiled
and the same published.
However, officials must wait two
years before this land can be offered
for sale.
Land owners throughout the en
tire county are showing unusual in
terest in this first delinquent land
sale and it is anticipated that a
large number will come to Caldwell
on the morning of May 24.
