This Is To Announce
That George Baldridge, the first man to introduce tie concrete block
in Monett, is still here and has not gone out of business either. He is the
man who brought the concrete block to the present standing in Monett.
Through his hard work and honest Manufacturing of the concrete block
and his success in his contracts there is now scarcely a building of any note
but that the concrete block has first chance. And as for Concrete porch
columns he has simply captured the whole thing and defies Southwest Mis
souri to show a more complete assortment to select from. He has more
than $1000 worth of ornamental molds alone. He has built every concrete
block building in Monett of any note.
If you want blocks or a building ask the. owner of any block building
In Monett as to whether George Bald ridge can be depended upon.
He has fought the battles in Monett for seventeen years, met all com
petitors, watched them come and go and is still trying to make it by hon
esty and fair dealing.
IP YOU WANT ANYTHING IN CONCRETE look for the big brick
smoke stack in West Monett near the railroadcrossing.

EVENTIDE ITEMS
Everything seems to be still and
quiet in our community at present as
to farming. It still stays cold and
stormy so farmers can't do much to
ward farming. Wet spring means
good crops. We hope so at least.
There is some people on the sick
list this week. Mrs. Wolfe is quite
sick and Mrs. P. M. Shipley has been
caring for her.
Grandpa Shipley is very poorly in
health and Boon will have to leave
and go home to Glory, though it may
be many days. Let us scatter flowers
along the pathway of life of our
friends while they are with us. Don't
wait until they have passed to eter
nity and then put them on their grave,
but do it now.
Albert Burkhart, our groceryman,

NOT TO BE FOOLED
Proudly young Tompkins displayed
the sights of London to his uncle,
fresh from the verdant country. They
visited St. Paul's and the Embank
ment and the National Gallery and all
the places they could get in free; finT
ally, as an especial treat, they visited
a music hall, where a trombone solo
was in progress when they entered.
With rapt attention, the old man
watched the instrumentalist's facial
contortions. At the close the audi
ence applauded thunderously but the
old man .sat mute.
"Well," said young Tompkins, "did
n't you like it?"
"Verra good, verra good, no doubt,"
nodded the old man, "but we country
folk canna be taken in so easy , as all
that; I knew all the time he wasn't a
swallowin' of it!"
