T. H. Pollock Auto
Company, the brick, near the top of
the Hirh School hill, will be torn
lown, that the material may be used
for the purpose of the erection of
the new building. The place which
s generally known as the Carruth
building, was constructed by Dr.
McCrarey, who was a dentist in the
city, away back in the other cen
turv, and built the home in 1872.
Dr. McCrarey, was a dentist here
nd practiced for a number of years,
but moved away many years ago.
The Doctor's daughter married Cap
tain Marshall, who was for a num
ber of years postmaster, but who
has been gone for a long time. Mr.
George K. Staats, who is one of the
dispatchers at the postoffiee at the
present time was a clerk and as
sistant postmaster under Captain
Marshall away back in. 18510, and for
number of years after he was en
gaged in other occupations. Now
for the past fifteen years he has
been working, in the office again.
But the house, w were going to tell
about it being torn down. Mr. Mc
Crarev sold the house to Frank Car
ruth, who lived in it for a number
of years, and then fold it, when he
had moved away, to Silas Long, who
likewise moved away, and it became
the property of T. H. Pollock, who
is now going to tear the house down
and use the material for the purpose
of helping to construct the new
garage. The lot will be graded down
to near the grade of the street,
when another dwelling will be erect
ed thereon. Ye editor of this paper
lived in this house for some length
of time, and the writer, when he
frst came to this city, in lSSo, had
a room there for a few weeks. So a
great many people have had some
thing in common with the house,
which is a bit of history, and will
iocn be a memory.
It costs extra money to start and maintain a herd of blooded
cattle, hogs or sheep.
It takes extra time and care to select quality seed corn as
a basis for a quality crop.
It takes extra money," time and care to start and keep up a
quality fruit orchard.
You could do away with this extra expense by being satis
fied with just ordinary products. Why do you seek quality?
Here is the reason: You pin your
faith to quality because you know
that the extra expense entailed by
the effort for quality is more than
offset by the extra profits that qual
ity products return.
Quality is profitable in what you
raise to sell. It is just as profitable
in what you buy to use.
We have at your service a stock
of highest quality farm implements.

big things for the future, and we
are pleased to know they are mak

raising ordinary products, we might
deal in ordinarly implements. Quality
in what we had to sell would not
attract you. But knowing that you
appreciate the worth cf . quality, we

goods. You will find the quality of
our stock and the quality of our
