Nevada Souvenir
J. H. SMITH.

      It needs no high sounding advertisement to tell that times are prosperous in Nevada and Vernon County. The fact advertises itself. From every farm where the success or failure of all the county's business undertakings is finally made up-comes the story of crop records broken. Enjoying the full share of this general good fortune, J. H. Smith, operating the "Clean Grocery" on the west side of the square, greets his friends. This establishment isn't the oldest in Nevada but it certainly enjoys its full share of patronage from both the city and rural districts. One of the largest stocks of groceries and provisions in this city is carried at all times. Staple and fancy groceries, canned goods, fruit, vegetables, smoked and dried meat, tinware, graniteware, etc., are handled. A specialty is made of "First Premium" flour. Nine deft and skilled assistants are given employment and the large trade which throngs this store during business hours is ample evidence of the esteem in which he is held by all classes. Mr. J. H. Smith, the proprietor, was born in Kentucky in 1868. He received his education in both Missouri and Kansas. He has followed the provision business for the past eighteen years, and is a valued member of the M. W. A.
