Since as they affirm, here is found both qjd-fashioned hospitality and ; i , iBew fashioned conveniences. In truth Vj'ffc is the aim of the owner, Mr. Fred ; : Justen, to make this a place where •very guest shall feel at ease and at - fcome. The guests rooms are designed ; _ not to overcome with extravagant „«plendor, but rather to please with ;; ; isefinement of interior and invite • „ .With solid comfort. So all rooms 'lire made home-like and restful, with .. An atmosphere residential rather .than institutional. The Justen House ' it known as "Hie House of Comfort." The meals served at the Justen House dining room are above reproach. In fact, it is like being fiome with mother. Everything set on the table is wholesome and palatable. Nothing pretentious, yet fit " for the most particular epicure. Here Fred Justen promises welcome and courtesy, attention to your needs, • «id thought upon your comfort, first #nd last.

How many years has this "fcotel been serving the wayfarers? RELIABLE BATTERY MAN A McHenry industry which is making a name for itself throughout the country is the Everett Hunter Boat Company which has already obtained favorable recognition. The firm sells and manufacturers nothing else "In that sweet little home A my own--the best place that I've ever known, that's where I'm gonna stay --till my hair's turning gray, in that deal little home of my own." You can't blame a man for feeling' that secret of making his breakfast cereal twenty-seven years. William G. Schriener has been protecting the public with his life insurance policies for five years. A Fordson tractor sold by the Knox Motor-Sales, delivered equipped, costs $560.80. KNOWS HIS "A B CV Go ahead and break ytour 'axle, strip your gears, smash the frame " of your car, for we know where you can get the repairs done and it will not cost you the price of a new one either. It's at the Stoffel's Garage, Operated by Louis Stoffel. If he or his men cannot fix your qar so that it is as servicable as new you had better sell it for honest-to-goodness junk. It is one place that has more machines and tools for repairing of broken parts than the proverbial wrong number of a telephone company. Louis Stoffel is a man of iun usual experience, which fact is attested by the different kinds of repairs that he is daily called upon to do. He's a veritable "auto surgeon." A thousandtn part of an Inch is a pretty small space, but this mechanic thinks nothing of fitting a piece of machinery that close. That gives you an idea of his accuracy. Mr. Stoffel is very capable in his line of business, being a person of great natural ability. The high position he holds with the public has been obtained through his own efforts. He knows his A B C's and we do not mean Apple Sauce, Banana Oil, or Con. When did he first start tearing down and building up autombiles ? On the first of March he took over the garage formerly known to you as the H & M Garage. When Louis arrived on this globe, McHenry was the spot. He enjoys almost every out door sport. The ever increasing demand for storage batteries in the United States j gress has created a field for the fly bynight makers and almost impossible guarantees are given as to the life of their products. Afotorists have been attracked by their outlandish offers and in several cases have been "stung.' In order to avoid this, it is always best to put your money in a battery that carries a' regular guarantee and is well known and advertised. They have something back of them and the guarantee is valuable. We refer to the "Exide" battery for your automobile and radio. They are distributed in McHenry by the W. L. Howell & Co., who conduct a modern battery service station. Mr. Harvey Nye, the manager is a man of energy and character, and has been notably successful as a battery man. He is steadily expanding and increasing the prosperity of his business to which he gives his close personal attention. He is a hearty and happy individual who gets a great deal out of life. His humanely pleasing as well as satisfying and elevating qualities makes desirable friendships of long standing is why Harvey Nye appears to you.

How many boats are made and perience in th'e real estate business RECOGNITION It is a matter of actual fact that the Auto Inn Service Station attracts motorists, and the almost magic rapidity of the Auto Inn's service has made them hundreds of friends. The truth of it is, this service station is always inviting and you are greeted with winning smiles. They make a specialty of Sinclair Gas and Oils. It is spotlessly clean and the outside of this inviting station makes a hit long before you drive in, especially at night, with all the big electric lights. You only have to visit this station "once" to realize sharply just how far they actually do surpass the field in service. Messrs M. C. Worts and G. C. Boley.s outstanding friendliness has won an unamious verdict with the public. Their steady patrons are not merely their friends; they are their enthusiasts. To hear their praise is to realize how thoroughly their services are winning and holding the good will of all who tradle at the Auto Inn. Mr. Worts and Mr. Boley are voted A 1 by their acquaintances and AAA by their friends. Think that over, liiis service station started selling in what year? sold here each year on an average? M!r. Hunter took the "sting" out of motor excursions here and now operates a number of boats which make excursion trips on schedule like a train. The rates are now as reasonable that all we poor folks can go often. He has now also in his boat line special boats for crowds or speed. All in all, Mr. Everett Hunter has anything at any price Our hearts desire. We say thanks to Mr. Everett Hunter for what he has done for us and for the good of McHenry. A TINNER OF REPUTS It is better to repair a leaky roof than to pay for the damage it causes. You've heard the story of the man and .the leaky roof. When it rained he couldn't fix it and when it didn't rain the roof needed no fixing and so it ruined the ceiling and walls and cost him more than roof repairs would have cost. If you have a and is a man honest at heart, who always tries to live up to the Golden Rule, and who has, through his sound business methods won hosts of friends in this section. He is the oldest real estate person here, having arrived 11 years ago from New Mexico. Just two weeks ago he was elected on the board of directors of the Fox River Water Association, with Ben Deitz. He put over in "big time" the Clement and Edgewater subdivisions and many others. His joy is selling lots. How many lots and homes has he sold since here?

Address: erintendent of the Chicago 11th district had a most happy obligation to perform, the presenting of prizes won in a six months contest. R. Anda, of Mr. Towne's staff, won in the "Ordinary" branch of the service, and made such a record that his wife received two prizes. Mr. Smith, of Mr. O'Connor's staff, won a prize for his wife in the "Industrial branch. Mr. Strack, being the leading man in the entire district in the "Industrial," also won his wife prize. * The remainder of the day, which was altogether too short, was enjoyed in races. Again Mr. Smith proved his ability as a winner by copping the horseshoe contest. Mrs. Melvin won the ladies' balloon races. Mrs. Melby won the "large" ladies' race. Mrs Wilder won the "not so large" ladies' race. A number of children's races were run and all enjoyed same.

This firm is known throughout this section for the high quality of the hardware and paints it sells and the excellent service given each customer. The stock of 'merchandise carried is large and complete and if they dk> not happen to have what you want in stock, which is indeed unusual, they will be glad, to get it for you without extra charge. M|r. H. C. Kamholz won the respect and good will of the community almost from the first day he opened his doors to the public, which was seven years ago. This store has helped the people live up to the slogan:: "Buyin McHenry," as they have established metropolitan business that need The writer once asked one of the best known bankers in Chicago which line of business he considered the most useful to the commonwealth, expecting to get an interview concerning savings banks and public thrift. The banker hesitated for a few moments, then said: "That of selling Life Insurance." This incident came to our mind again today, as we told about one of the best known men in the Insurance field of McHenry, namely, James N. Sayler. Mir. Sayler is a life insurance specialist. He has counselled, advised and insured many of the citizens of this community and outside sections for the past fifteen years. People go to him for financial protection as they go to doctors for advice, to lawyers for guidance and to bankers for council. Mr. Sayler is known throughout this section for his business judgement and courteous treatment to all. He has always been known as a "boosting feller." The "Who's Who" Editor takes this opportunity to compliment Mr. Sayler on his wonderful record for the years of his service. Mr. Sayler was reared up, as they say, on a farm about four miles west of McHenry. He is a terrible man with a driver at golf, which is his hobby.

No matter what it may be in his line, large or small buildings, he is always pleased to offer you an estimate, cheerfully. There is only one way he does things and that is the best way. He is a combination of experience and expert workmanship always results in a finished home or building which is satisfactory in every way. He has always been willing and eager to contribute his full strength and ability in every helpful way towards and welfare It is mighty important to know when you are building a home if it will be "perfectly alright when completed." It is the business of Mr. Jacob Schaefer to find out all there is to know about everything. That is why you can depend on what he tells you when building a home. Mr. gehaefer, if you are able to get him. is sure that all will be "perfectly right" in workmanship, plans, material and everything connected with his work. He has always maintained this reputation and he intends to hold it j the comfort, happiness. He has been spreading happiness and * " joy for many years by his craftsmanship. He enjoys a wide personal popularity. In his responsible work he has exhibited noble talent in his business affairs and has proved himself to be a most efficient contractor. He has lived in this vicinity all his life and moved to McHenry four years ago. He enjoys fishing and hunting.

The only way to do this is to give real service and to keep high grade merchandise at fair prices. This has always been the policy of this firm. Whatever kind of electric work you have in mind, whether you want your house completely installed with electric lights, appliancee for cooking or heating and equipped from cellar to attic with the latest and best of fixtures, or you only want the door bell fixed, they can do it for you. We have searched the dictionary for a new word, but we cannot find a word that describes the new electrical fixtures that will be in this firms new home, better than the word "classy." If the writer is any judge of men, we pronounce Mr. Carey and Mr. Doherty ambitious and enthusiastic in this work, and we are glad to have found such capable men here. Both of these men were born in McHenry, are gentlemen and good sports through and through, clear to their steel spinal column. When will they move into their new home?

The vaudeville here is off the Orpheum circuit so what more could one expect. Mr. John W. Smith is congenial and is at the top of McHenry's go-getters. He is always on the alert and watching out for the interest of his patrons. What is the biggest picture to be shown at the Empire during August? VALUE OF A GOOD NAME Today we want anyone and everyone, anywhere and everywhere , in this vicinity to know Mr. Lawson, the new manager of the National Tea Company in McHienry. But don't take our word for what we say--don't take "anybody's wor^j." Just you make your inquiries or drop into this quality grocerv and get the "facts" and "proof." If Mr. Lawson has not been in this section of McHenry in business almost three months, we've missed our guess. During these three months he has been contributing to the comfort and welfare and happiness of others. He has never been selfish thinking always and only of his friend's and customers' convenience and pleasure, or the only lasting way --doing something for others. That's just where Mr. Lawson gets his happiness. He would rather please a McHienry. Born in I customer and hold him or her than work at fourteen make double the profits.
