Bracy-North Hardware Co.
THIS large and complete hardware store was organized in 1913 by Geo. H. North purchasing
HARDWAS
an interest in the Bracy Hardware Co., thereby creating the firm of Bracy-North Hardware Co., which has expanded until it is one of the leading concerns in Southern Illinois, with stores in Carterville and Herrin.
Geo. H. Norfth, the Carterville member of the firm, was born near Carterville, June 1, 1871, the son of Geo. J. North, a Mexican war veteran who served in the same com- pany with John A. Logan. He was educated in the district schools and Southern Illinois Normal. He began business life by clerking in a hardware store in Carbondale and later in a clothing store. He came to Carterville in 1893, and was employed as miller in the Carterville Milling Co. for nine years, and then started in the lumber business, Read & North. Mr. Read later sold his interest to Mr. Arnold and the firm continued until 1910, when it was sold to the Carterville Lumber & Fuel Co. Mr. North then was traveling salesman for Gates Lumber Co. for two years, and in 1913 purchased an interest in the Bracy Hardware Co., which is now the Bracy-North Hardware Co.
Mr. North was married Feb. 11, 1901, to Miss Lina E. Cash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Cash. They have two children, Geo. J., born Dec. 24, 1901, and John C., born April 18, 1910.
He has always been a staunch Republican and was elected tax collector for the term 1908 and 1912, and has been precinct com- mitteeman for many years. He is a member of the Masonic and Modern Woodmen lodges.
Carterville Lumber & Fuel Co.
"THE above company are the successors of the North-Arnold Lumber Company, from whom they purchased the business January 16, 1913.
The present officers of the Carterville Lum- ber & Fuel Company are A. H. Wiswell, president; C. E. Cannon, secretary, and John Herrin, treasurer. This company also have a large business at the fast growing town of Dowell, of which Mr. Wiswell is manager.
The president, Mr. Wiswell, was formerly in the real estate business at Herrin. Mr.
Cannon, secretary and manager of the Car- terville yard, was formerly a contractor and builder, and Mr. Herrin, the treasurer, is the well known cashier of the First National Bank of Herrin.
The large houses and yards pictured here house everything necessary for building and the prospective builder should not consider building without first consulting the Carter- ville Lumber & Fuel Company. Their trade slogan is "When you think of lumber, think of the Carterville Lumber & Fuel Company."

J. B. Samuels and Son
ONE of the real successes in Carterville, J. B. Samuels, started in the lumber and building material business in 1885 on a capital of $120.00, and by perseverance, hard work and close attention to business has builded a very large and prosperous business. The building pictured here was erected in 1897.
Mr. Samuels was born in 1862, the son of a farmer, Chas. T. Samuels, and was reared on a farm
and later worked in the coal mines and still holds his membership in the United Mine Workers of America and is the possessor of a certificate of competency as a coal miner which was issued on the fourteenth day of January, 1916, which he prizes very highly as a remembrance of his early days.
He was married in 1885 to Miss Dell Council, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Council of Car- terville. Mr. and Mrs. Samuels are the parents of five children, Grace, born 1886; Kate, 1888; Charles, 1891; Frank, 1893; and Ruth, 1906. The eldest son, Charles, became a member of the firm upon his return from serv- ice in 1919.
Mr. Samuels is president of the Car- terville State Bank and one of the charter members of the Retail Lumber Dealers Association of Illinois; a Mason, Odd Fellow and Elk. He is a highly respected citizen and an ex- ample of the thrifty merchant that makes a success in life.
This firm gave of its time and means liberally during the war.
Mrs. A. M. Norton
THE subject of this sketch, Mrs. A. M. Norton, has long been identified with the successful business firms of Carterville, coming here from Crainville, where she and her husband conducted a general merchandising business. She started a millinery and ladies' furnishing store in 1907, but the Crainville store was not sold until 1910, Mrs. Norton conducting the Car- terville store and Mr. Norton conduct- ing the Crainville store. Mrs. Norton, while a busy woman, still was able to give attention to the Norton House, which was established in 1910 as a home hotel and which has always been the popular eating place of Carterville when one desired a real first-class meal.
Mr. and Mrs. Norton were married July 30, 1871, at Crainville, Mr. Nor- ton passing away May 14, 1914. They are the parents of six children, Wm. R., born, 1872, deceased at age of 34; Roy, born 1876; B. F., Jr., born 1879; Kate, born 1888; Ruth, born 1891, and Russell Craig.
There are five generations of this
family now living, Mrs. Norton's mother, age 90; Mrs. Norton, age 65; granddaughter, age 28, and great grandson, age 9.

Alexander Hotel
THE ALEXANDER HOTEL is owned by A. C. Hope, who for many years was the head of the Hope Electric and Power Company, which was the first electric light plant in Carterville. Mr. Hope
HOTEL ALEXANDER
gave his town an electric lighting service that was unexcelled while he was in control of the company, and citizens regret he isn't now in control. He sold the plant in 1909 and immediately began the erection of a modern hotel build- ing, which was completed in 1910, put- ting the money he received from the sale of the plant back in the town. Previous to the erection of the Alex- ander Hotel, Carterville possessed only an old frame hotel, and this new hotel is a credit to the city.
The hotel is roomy and commodious in every respect, maintaining its own water works and sewerage system. There are twenty-five sleeping rooms and large and comfortable lobby.
Mr. Hope employs the same efficiency in conducting the new Alexander Hotel that he did in the electric light plant, and the traveler can always be assured of pleasant and comfortable accommo- dations and a genial host.
Carterville Mercantile Company
THE Carterville Mercantile Company was established in 1907 as a corporation, but was changed to a co-partnership December, 1918, with Alex Thompson, W. H. Thomp- son, James Thompson, Robert Thompson, and Mrs. R. H. H. Hampton, Mrs. Hampton being a daughter of James Hampton and sister of the other partners.
Alex Thompson, the genial manager, married Miss Lena Lentz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Lentz of Marion. They are the parents of one daughter, Ve- netta Jane, born Dec. 5, 1914.
The Carterville Mercantile Co. is housed in the large building shown here and is a most com- plete mercantile institution. The business is firmly established and
enjoys a large business. Here one can trade with the satisfaction of knowing they are buying fresh and dependable merchandise at the right prices.

The store was remodeled in 1912, which was made necessary to the increase in business and almost immediate popularity of the firm.
The three officers are all Williamson County boys, reared near Carterville.
Mr. Baker was born in 1886 and was married in 1905. Mr. and Mrs. Baker are the parents of two children, Roberta and Watson.
The Baker-Ghent store is a complete mercantile establishment with large and varied stock of dry goods, ladies' and gents' wearing apparel and furnishings, groceries, meat market and hardware. Their large business attests to the popu- larity of the firm.
For liberal giving to war funds of both time and means, this firm set a patriotic example for their city.
Herbert W. Cann
THE subject of this sketch was born in England, but came to the United States in 1876 at the age of fifteen. He came to Williamson County in 1882 and associated with The Elles Store Company, being in the employ of this company for about ten years. Mr. Cann has always been very active in the affairs for the welfare of the town and com- munity where he was located, and while in Carter- ville was mayor of the town and postmaster from 1894 to 1898, and while postmaster, has the distinc- tion of recommending the issue of the thirteen cent stamp. Carterville was also the first fourth class postoffice to issue foreign money orders. Both of these distinctions having been secured by the per- sistency of Mr. Cann. Always a gifted musician, Mr. Cann has secured many honors for himself. He has the distinction of being chorister in the cath- edral in Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Exeter, England. During the World's Fair in St. Louis, he was associated with the Bureau of Music.
Mr. Cann is rapidly becoming a poet of national reputation. His contributions to the St. Louis Post Dispatch are securing for him wide recognition. He has received professional copies of his latest song entitled "Her Prayer," the music of which was written by Keeger, a musician of international repu- tation. This song bids fair to outrival "The Rosary."

ONE of the most enterprising citizens and business
men of Creal Springs, W. W. Rogers, whose men's clothing store is a model of neatness and enjoying a splendid patronage.
Mr. Rogers was born in East Prairie, Mo., in Octo- ber, 1887, but moved to Johnson County, Ill., in 1899.

Hurst, The Loyal City
NO sooner had war been declared than the entire little city of Hurst went "war mad" to enlist in the army and get over there for a chance to get the Kaiser. It didn't require any preaching or persuading to turn the city to its plain patriotic duty. Parents, brothers and sisters and sweethearts as well, all were in sympathy with the spirit that took complete possession of the little city's young men as they left in crowds for the nearest recruiting offices in Murphysboro and St. Louis, Mo., to enlist.
High wages and plenty of profitable work at the mines close by and on the farm were no inducements when Uncle Sam called for recruits. The jobs the men left in stores, driving wagons and performing light farm work were quickly taken by the sisters and sweethearts left behind.
For the first few months of the war, the people talked war in shop, mines, on the farm and in the shops and proudly told of some member their family had contributed to the nation's warring forces.
Early in the war, Lon Reece, the town bar- ber, whose shop was a bureau of army in- formation and war news, posted a roll of honor recording the enlisted men. By the second week of May, 1917, these names were emblasoned on this roll, all enlisted men:
Joe Russell, Carl Shanklin, Noel Robinson, Frank Keenan, Paul Shanklin, Thomas Rus- sell, Jr., Audie Calvert, John Calvert, .Clyde Coyle, Ernest Robinson, Norman Vaughan,
HURST-BUSH RAILROAD Y. M. C. A.
Siegel Vaughan, Roy Hubbs, Dewey Mead- ows, Claude Lavender, T. J. James, Jr., George Counce, Charles Counce, Kenneth Short, Joe Ganter. Those reported on the same roll as rejected were George Gilley, Charles Harrison, David Signaigo, Leonard James, Percy Pinkston and John Martin.
Jack . Burleson, who run the pool room, where the boys made their popular evening rendezvous, declared that Sherman had most accurately defined war, but said that if it would play the same thing with the Kaiser that it had with his business that it would be all right, and as he daily saw his business falling off from lack of patronage, he became prouder than ever of this home city when he thought of the reason.

Mr. Russell was born Dec. 23, 1866, one and one-half miles north of Hurst. He was educated in the public schools and Southern Illinois Normal and for many years was a school teacher. His first business experience was conducting a grocery store in Blairsville in 1901, and later the Hurst Store Co., which was the foundation of the Russell-Zimmerman Company.

now Mrs. Frank Bennett; Bessie, now Mrs. Emerson; T. P. Jr., and Elles A. Mr. and Mrs. Russell were real leaders in all war activities and helped create the national reputation which their town gained dur- ing the war period-"The most patriotic town of its size in the United States."
T. P. Russell Furniture & Lumber Co.
THE T. P. Russell Furniture & Lumber Company is a new institution, having been organized January 1, 1919, but the members of the firm, especially the president, T. P. Russell, are not now in the business, as Mr. Russell was in the lumber business several years ago and sold out on account of his many other duties. The vice-president of the firm is T. P. Russell, Jr., who entered the firm after being discharged from the serv- ice, being stationed at Ft. Wright, N. Y., in the Coast Artillery Corps.

years as manager of the Cambria store and secretary-treasurer of the company.
The T. P. Russell Furniture & Lumber Company have a very large and varied stock of furniture, stoves and ranges and builders' hardware. The lumber yard is one of the most active in the county. In the past season this lumber yard supplied building material for dozens of homes in Hurst and the sur- rounding neighborhood. They sell lumber at exceptionally low figures and no one in the neighborhood of Hurst should consider building without first consulting the T. P. Russell Furniture and Lumber Company for every kind of building material.

CLARKS GARAGE & REPAIR SHOP.
--
THE handsome garage building pictured here is owned by A. B. Clark, who started in the garage and automobile business in Hurst in 1917, in which year thie huilding was erected. The business has increased very rapidly, making necessary a large extension in the rear, which is being rapidly fitted up as one of the most complete work rooms in Williamson County-special Ford machinery, large lathes, welding machines, and many other apparatus for the quick and perfect repairing of all makes of automobiles are installed. Always an expert ma- chinist, Mr. Clark to perfect himself in the many
intricacies of automobile repairing, took a special course in automobile mechanics at the Sweeney Auto School in 1917.
The Clark garage is the home of the Reo, Dort and Briscoe cars, of which many are sold every season. The Fisk and Firestone tires are the leaders. All kinds of automobile accessories are carried in stock, in fact the motorist will find that Clark's Garage can supply all wants.

Western Coal & Iron Co.
-
THE LARGE COMMISSARY WITH GROUP OF EMPLOYEES
THE large store represented in this picture is that of the commissary or company store of the Western Coal & Iron Company, who are the owners of the modern mine just north of Bush. The superintendent of the Western Coal & Iron Company is George Bowie, who has been with them since Febru- ary 1, 1919, coming from the Big Muddy Coal & Iron Company at Clifford. As the mine of the Western Coal & Iron Company is a new mine, Mr. Bowie is well qualified to make it up-to-date in every respect. The main office of the Western Coal & Iron Com- pany is in the St. Louis Railway Exchange Building. W. P. Lawrence is president and general manager.
The large store represented here contains everything necessary for the maintenance of the employees of the Western Coal & Iron Company. It is complete in every respect, having large departments for dry goods, ladies' and gents' furnishings, furniture, hardware, groceries and meat market.
M. Motto is the manager of the store. He came here from Franklin, Kansas, where he was with the same company for a great num- ber of years.
Mr. and Mrs. Motto were very active in all war activities and the fact that Bush was always to the front on all drives can in a large measure be credited to them.

Creal Springs Citizens State Bank

BANK
THE most imposing business building of Creal Springs houses the Citizens State Bank. The building was completed in 1915, at a cost of $25,000, soon after a fire which destroyed the former building the same year. The bank also suffered a fire which did considerable damage in 1913.
This bank was organized in 1910, capital $25,000, with the following officers: A. A. Dugger, president ; R. Heasley, vice-president; J. W. Burnett, cashier. Four years later R. Heasley became president, W. S. Brini, vice-president, and J. S. Chism, assistant cashier. In 1916 Mr. Chism was relieved by J. C. Keltner, who held the office until he entered the service May 30, 1918, serving until Feb. 7, 1919, dur- ing this time Mr. Chism was assistant. The present directors are: R. Heasley, J. W. Burnett, Levi Fer- rell, J. H. Cobb, R. O. Clarida, H. T. Cocke, and W. S. Brim.
The bank has been very prosperous even though
having suffered the reverses by fire April 13, 1915, the Farmers and Merchants Bank was absorbed, using their building now occupied by the post office, until the new building here pictured was completed. The stockholders have received since the organization ten years ago, a total of 120 per cent in surplus and dividends. Total resources at this writing is $280,000, of which $240,000 are deposits.
The bank enjoys the distinction of being the first bank in Williamson county to install the modern Burroughs' bookkeeping system, which gives them the facilities to readily balance all accounts in the shortest possible time. With a modern burglar proof safe and many safety deposit boxes, the bank is com- plete in every way and one that the people of Creal Springs can justly feel proud of. The pleasing per- sonality of the officers in charge, Mr. Burnett and Mr. Keltner makes it a pleasure to transact business at this bank.
