H. W. WILSON.

HARNESS AND SADDLES.--Mr. Wilson is a native of Ohio. He came to Audubon in 1866; in 1884 he removed from Avoca, Iowa, and engaged in business in this city. He enlisted in the army at an early age, serving his country faithfully until the close of the war. He is ambitious and enthusiastic in every undertaking, a man of broad views and determination, a careful promoter of every enterprise that has a possibility of accomplishing good, and is liberal in the broadest sense of the word. Through his untiring efforts, assisted by other enterprising men, the Audubon hook and ladder company won an enviable reputation throughout the United States and to-day are the champions of the world. Mr. Wilson has had twenty-five years' experience in his present business and is a workman second to none. He carries a large stock, sells at the lowest living prices and strives to merit his liberal patronage.
