This week we take the pleasure, thru the courtesy of H. C. Hettinger, to present to readers of The Plain- dealer an excellent likeness of a young cartoonist, together with a sample of his work. The picture is that of Andrew Het­ tinger, the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Hettinger, who have their summer home on the banks of Fox river, a short distance north of this village. The young man is a born cartoonist and, altho quite young, his work is of such calibre that has drawn the atten­ tion of many an artist. Andrew was born at Palmer, Texas, September 25, 1896, and came with his parents to Chicago, where the family has resided for a number of years. He is now spending his sixth summer with us and is known by quite a number of the school children here, as he attend­ ed the public school here five years ago. His parents are both portrait artists and are exceptionally good ones at that, but when it comes to cartoons the son has them beaten by far. He does no copying at all. He stud­ ies out his own jokes, pictures them firmly in his mind and then illustrates them on paper. His jokes are all original and the one we herewith pre sent, together with his picture, were raade especially for The Plaindealer. The young man spends a great deal of his leisure time in this line of work. With plenty of time for practice and abundance of ambition he is bound to make a great name for himself as a cartoonist some day. He has already had many offers for his service, but his parents will not consent to let him go until he has been given the very best advantages in edu­ cation. His parents are highly interested in his work and will do everything with­ in their power to see their son become one of the greatest artists of this kind that the world has ever known. The Plaindealer can see a great fu­ ture for the young man and hopes to see him accomplish great things in his line within the next few years. The Hettinger family's Chicago home is located at 2228, Barry avenue. The management of the McHenry County fair has secured the services of ^Dolman Bros., the greatest comedy horizontal bar artists in the country. Their stunts on the bars and their great trick house acts will amuse both joung and old. • -Y\ I JUST RECEIVED letter fa cm S&lNfr SHE ^ii£ OVfeR TO S£E. ME WEDNESDAY G-lFU- COML .
