THOMPSON GROCERY CO.
Buys the Stock nnU aood Will of the
Son Angela Grocery
Company.
Before The Press of Inst week
vn issued there were reports of
business changes in Sun Angelo
luit to which it did not give
publicity for business reason.
Among the changes in question
was the pitrcha by the Thomp-
son Grocery Company of the busi-
ness of tin" Han Angelo Grocer
Company both being woll known
wholesale establishments of Sun
Angelo. Invoicing is now pro-
ceeding and as oon as
liracticnl the business abode of
the Thompson Grocery Company
will be at the San Angelo Grocery
Company stand nt the corner of
Oakes street and Concho avenue
near the bridge.
The Thompson Grocer Company
is among San Angelo's youngest
business institutions luiviug been
in existence here but for n few
months. In Bpite of this however
the very strength of its youth and
virility of its commercial power
coupled with the advantages of
amide capital unlimited credit
the very ablest of management
and liet of bervice throughout
the Thompson Grocery Company
with one hound ha leaped to its
position in the front rank of the
hus.nes column.
It has not only maintained thai
position without interruption
hut given every promise of con-
tinuing to do so as its business
shows incionso and expansion day
by day.
Asa" rule fin or with the busi-
ness element is not secured on
personal ground for ' the trade"
d'MiiaiuK something more in
fact much more. It insists on
merit and its preferment is drawn
and attracted by "cold business
reasons." The latter the Thomp-
son Grocery Company always lias
nt hnno in" exhaustible supply
lor the reasons stated while at
the same time it is realized that
uniform courtesy and the con-
stant evidence of a disposition to
do the right fair square and even
liberal thing are important ele-
ments m securing and holding the
patronage of business men.
Naturally owing to the short
period of its existence the stock
of the Thompson Grocer Company
here has not been fully up to the
denmuds of its patronage. The
company started business at
this point nt a reason when
business was heavy trailic rushed
and transportation lines already
overburdened with business book-
ed some time ahead and then.
he company room hero was
limited and it labored under
dflioulties for theno and othor
temporary reasons. All this is now-
changed however for tiu purchase
of the San Angelo Grocery Com-
pany stock and the consolidation
of the two will result in the
formation of one enormously
largo in itself to which however
immediate and constant future
additions will be made and ad-
ditional warehouse room secured
whrewith to meet the demands
of the rotnil trade of this entire
section.
The Press knows tho active
personnel of the The Thompson
Grocery Company including the
secretary and general manager
Mr. V. H. Thompson the local
manager Mr. Sam S Dowty his
chief assistants Mr. Ilobert Hol-
land and Mr. M. C. Cobb.through
direct contact and has found
them all not only thoroughgoing
business men but courteous
gentlemen hr well. It does not
therefore marvel at the growth
of the San Angelo buiness of the
house and with its many patrons
hereabouts wishes it continued
increased and unlimited prosperi-
ty while congratulating its cus-
tomers on the extended ability of
the house to serve them through
the change which has taken p' .
an ability that is always ac-
coinpnnierhy an uiistinttcd will-
ingness as well.

CLAIMS SHEEP SHORTAGE.
II. C. Abbott of New Mexico Well
Posted Predicts Higher Values
This Spring.
II C. Abbot of Colfax. N. M..
delegate at large to the National
Live Stock eomontion for the
territory of New Mexico is here
this week. He is accompanied
by his wife who thoroughly en-
joys the social part of the annual
conventions. Mr. Abbot says
that while grass is rathor short in
the range district lie represents
tho condition of cuttle and sheep
on the range is uncommonly
good and stock promises to win-
ter splendidly.
Mr. Abbot recently made a
tour of tho Arkansas valley in
Colorado and while tiiere took
special pains to gain n thorough
knowledge of tho senson's sheep
feeding operations in that section.
He states emphatically that not
over 12.")()0() sheep tire being fed
there this winter. "I huve seen
reports stating near 200000 sheep
are being handled there this sea-
son" aid he "but I can sny
with certainty that 12.".000 head
is a liberal estimate. I obtained
my figures from the most re-
liable sotttces from the big feed-
ers theniM'lves nnd enn verify my
ontiinutc in detail. Of the 12.)-
000 sheep on feed 7"i.000 head or
three-fifths of the supply consist
of lambs the other 7)0000 ale
ewes and wethers.
The packers at Kanas City nnd
other markets will thus have to
content themselves with 75000
lambs fioin the valley this year
whore in some ueaMins they have
been furnished with 200000 to
1100000 head. This would indi-
cate that high prices will bo in
order the next tew months nnd I
will bo greatly mistaken if -uch
is not. the ease. The feeder. will
need every cent they enn get too
for they are working against odds
this season and cheap market
prices will mean ruin to them.
High priced hay is the basis of
their troubles. Baled alfalfa
command" $0 a ton and
the stack i held at 5 to
ton. The-e price- are
mallv high. 1 will cite
Iiav in
$ii nor
ner-
sonal transaction illustrating
how feeders fear to handle sheep
with high priced hay.
"A compnny in which 1 am in-
terested had 15000 feeding sheep
on hand the first of the m'iisoh.
We were desirotti of fitting the
stock for market hut could he-
cure no reasonable hay and ac-
cordingly sold out the whole band
of sheep rather than go iti on a
losing venture. Were it not for
the sugar beets scarce'y any sheep
would bo fed in the valley this
winter. The beets help out the
hay situation somewhat and per-
mit of moderate operations. At
best however even vith the aid
of beets tho Arkansas valley
sheep men cannot turn out lambs
this year for less than $( and
inake'moiroy. If lambs sell for
no more than $5 to S5.50 many
operators will come through the
season with a big deficit staring
them in the face. Thus all
'Western sheep men are hoping
for high prices for muttons this
spring simply because tltoy are a
necessity not that they will moan
big profits for the exhorbititnt
price of hay will do away with
this possibility.1'
Mr. Abbot is an old time sheep
man and to him in fact belongs
the credit of founding the pres-
ent big sheep feeding industry of
the Arkansas valley. His
opinion on valley siltairs is there-
fore of great moment. Mr.
Abbot was nt one time in tho live
stock commission business nt

Thompson Bros of Coleman
are to be congratulated on the
excellent showing Hindu by their
BSK fed steers. These steer
v"f. strict lv twii-vear-olds nut
topped the market in competition
witli much heavier aged steers
from nil over the state.
The weight 017 pounds was
sntisfactory under tho circum-
stances they were tail end out of
200 head the tops will be market-
ed next week and the results
watched with interest.
Mr Thompson has demon-
strated the fact hitherto denied
and ridiculed that the well bred
native steers of this country can
be fattened and marketed before
they are three years old. The
price sounds low it is true com-
pared to those obtained last sea-
son it is disappointing but a
man cannot do better than top
the market.
This ought to mark a new era
in the cattle industry of th"
country and we look for the day
when a greater portion of the
steers raised here will be market-
ed as two-year-olds. The mu
thing iieces-iiiT for thai end is
that tho steer Illtlnt never
allowed to get poor either a
calf in his fir-t winter or as
yearling in hi- Mcond winter...

The I'ecos County Tragedy.
Fort Stockton 'le.a January
17. Another tragedy was enacted
today and another member of
the Hay family is dead Some
day since T. J. Hay n prominent
ranchman living in the northern
part of Peco-i count v. was poison-
ed with his two sister-; the two
ladies are dead and Mr. Huv i
still in a precarious ondition.
There was much mystery ci u
nected with the case as the
poison used was a iconic and
there was no possibility that thn
tragedy was accidental .
Today a telephone mcr-ciige
from Colorado stated that Hubert
Hay nephew of T. J. Hay. had
been taken from n train there and
was held under arrest. Shortly
thereafter another ine8age wa4-
received stating that Hubert Hav
was dead the result of an owr-j
dose of arsonic.
