LIFE SKETCH OF
J. M. SCHWOOB
(Continued from Page One)
that picturesque section was a wall
ing wilderness. He was Just In time
to assist Colonel William Cody In
driving the Jack rabbits and other
wild beaßts off the sage brush flat
to make room for the progressive
town that so proudly wears the name
of Cody today.
This and a number of other like
chores done up. Jacob Schwoob be
gan to think about growing up with
the country. His acute mind was
doing some practical acutlng in that
day, as you will all admit by the
time you read the last slug at the
bottom of this column and butt up
against the full stop that the lino
type man has placed there to indi
cate that this delicious and truthful
story of Jacob has all been told.
In order to get a correct line on '
Jacob’s growth and prosperity you 1
will be compelled to take a brief ex- ■
oursion back to the days of miracles
and then work forward with us. So
here goes.
As our young friend Jacob lay roll
ed in his camp blankets upon his
downy couch of sage brush and cacti,
of a clear summer star-lit night, gaz
ing intently at the signs of the zodl- .
ac, he made an astronomical dis
covery that startled him and filled !
his mind with wonder. Southeast by
south of the Great Dipper appeared .
this sign In the heavens:
t.
*s»s♦s!
* $
* *
* $
i mum
*
i
* * *
Faint at first it later shone with
the brilliance of a comet and so
light did it become in that immedi
ate vicinity, the sage hens in the
neighboring sage brush arose and s
pursued their daily work.
Os course, Jacob was up against
it. He did not understand what that
large capital P stood for, and he '.
thought and thought, altogether with- ‘
out arriving at a soul-satisfying so
lution. In his despair he sought his 1
library in the pistol pocket of his
overalls, wherein was stored his 1
sum total of books, namely and to
wn: one thirty-cent pocket diction- 1
ary. Quickly turning the leaves of
the ponderous volume to the P’s he
tried to fit every word commencing
with P to the situation. Almost but 1
not quite discouraged, his eagle op
tic lighted on the w-ord “Prunes”— ’
and he had it. The bright light
from the strange sign in the heav
ens faded, and Jacob was sure he
had the right dope. In the darkness 1
he sat and did some serious wonder
ing about “Prunes.’’ Should he buy ’
’em, sell ’em, make pies of ’em, eat 1
’em raw-, or what?
Aha! The mercantile mind of our !
hero to the rescue! Sell ’em at a 1
profit.
On the morrow he straightway di-
rected his footprints back to the site
of the future capital of Park county !
and got so busy that the cranberry 1
merchant looked like a drone in ‘
comparison. Soon there appeared a *
modest business emporium. It was
scarcely finished when by overland ’
freight the prunes came, accompa
nied by a bag of beans, a sack of
sugar, some axle grease, buttons, '
patent medicines and all the luxuries 1
and necessaries calculated to satisfy 1
the wants of the population for sev- 1
eral hundred miles around.
Jacob Schwoob smiled and deliv- I
ered the goods. In fact, he has been I
doing exactly these two things ever n
since he opened up that first mom- c
ing. Since that fateful day he has
sold train loads and ship loads of c
prunes—always at a slight margin, s
and should you happen to drop into *
Oody In this year of grace 1911,
you will find Jacob Schwoob brand- '■
ed "Prominent Citizen," presiding »
genius of the largest general mer
cantile establishment in the state. <
He Is so busy you have to wait your <
turn to get into his private office, I
and there you have to be brief about 1
it, for there are only twenty-four 1
hours in a day—not quite enough to
do\etail with Jacob's capacity for I
work.
night before your eyes In the big I
display window, as you enter Jacob's
store, you road this sigrl: “Latest ,
Styles in Prunes, Hand- Painted and ,
Hand-Embroidered. Three Pounds fori
Two Bits.'’
When Jacob Schwoob built a great
big store and five or six warehouses
lie considered that he had Just got
started. Meanwhile the people of
Big Horn county addressed Jacob in
. thin wise, "Jacob, permit the boyß
to barter the prunes and shoestrings
and you go down and sit among the
mighty, even in the Wyoming sen
ate.*’
Jacob went, by and with the full
knowledge and consent of Vox Popu
-11 and Pro Bono Publico. He also
went again after that, and then he
I was called upon to preside over the
deliberations of the body and proved
himself some presider.
In the senate Jacob was Just as
busy as he always Is at home.
You sabe Pure Food Statute, you
sabe creation of Park county. Jacob
did these things. He did many other
things that needed doing, and he did
them well. Just keep your eye on
him and wait, he will do other
things later. He is not done by any
manner of means. The people will
see to it that Jacob does not grow
rusty, and he will be mighty lucky
if he gets any rest at all. '
Before writing the word “Finis,”
Just let us advise j*ou to drop that
finger of scorn you are pointing at
our friend Jacob, because he drives
an automobile. Jacob sells 'em, and
sells more of 'em than any other
man in the state—say, Jacob sells
’em at a little profit—do you see the
point?
If there is anything else you would
like to learn about Jacob Schwoob,
drop over to Cody some time and
ask him to tell you all about it. He’s
just as -common as old shoes.
