GEORGE F. LANG.

George F. Lang is one of the most representative types of the men of German ancestry, who have so greatly aided in placing this country in the foreranks of the congress of nations. For twenty-two years he has conducted the Atlantic Hotel on Walnut street, so as to interpret the wishes of his patrons, in good, wholesome food and clean, airy rooms, thus making it one of the very best dollar and a half day hotels in the state of Iowa. Mr. Lange has been a citizen of Atlantic for thirty years and has been a contributor to every worthy cause that has had for its object the improvement of this city, either civically or morally; he has been a real asset for Atlantic. In 1903 he was elected to the Atlantic City Council from the First Ward and in 1905 was re-elected and shortly after this ws entrusted with the office of City Assessor for two years. He is a member of the three branches of the I. O. O. F. lodge, former treasurer of Canton No. 54, of the Patriarchs Militant for a number of years, Maccabees, M. B. A., M. W. A., Fraternal Bankers and the German Aid Society and for twenty-two years was a member of the Phoenix Hose Company. The News-Telegraph is glad to number among its friends George F. Lang, and it is the hope of this paper as the years go that they may bring him happiness. Genial and courteous, he enjoys a splendid reputation for truthfulness and honesty and has earned his position by hard plugging.
