KEELING STUDIO.

      A studio metropolitanly conducted, executing only high class work is that conducted by Mr. C. E. Keeling and located on the east side of the square. That success follows enterprise and merit is ably presented in reviewing the life of this business. This studio became established in 1904 in this city and occupies well appointed and thoroughly equipped parlors where beautiful examples of this art are displayed. The operating room is thoroughly equipped for turning out high class work to meet the requirements of a particular and discriminating public. Photography in all its branches is practiced, making portraits on platinum, in water colors and sepia, with any style of finish or mounting. Mr. Keeling also does commercial and view work. He is the official photographer for the National Guards of Missouri. He has been awarded eleven gold and silver medals at numerous expositions where work from all parts of the state have been judged, two of which are the highest given in the state. The business conducted gives employment to four assistants and owing to the skill and experience of Mr. Keeling in posing subjects, he seldom fails to obtain the desired expression at the first sitting. Mr. C. E. Keeling was born in this state in 1872. He was educated at the State Normal and State University. He is a member of the K. of P., Elks, and is secretary of the Photographers' Association of Missouri.
BALLAGH'S DRUG STORE.

      It is simply astonishing, when considering the magnitude to which the drug trade in this city has grown within the last few years and the enterprising gentlemen who are connected with this most necessary and important line of endeavor are to be congratulated upon their great achievement. One of the most important establishments of this character in Nevada is that conducted by Mr. W. T. Ballagh. This business was established in 1900 and owing to the careful treatment of the trade and conservatively selected lines carried a reputation of high standing has been gained. The drug store will, in the near future, occupy more spacious quarters at the corner of Cedar and Cherry Streets, the store running the length of the building on both sides with an entrance on Cedar Street and one on Cherry Street. The interior arrangement will be modern and of the most approved style with appointments to meet the demand of this business, which is larger than that conducted by all other similar establishments in this city. The stock carried is always fresh, up-to-the-minute and complete in every detail, composing drugs, chemicals, rubber goods, post cards, toilet articles, imported and domestic cigars, smokers' supplies, etc. A specialty is made of compounding physicians' prescriptions. This work is executed by graduate pharmacists. Mr. Ballagh has ordered a soda fountain which when installed will be the finest in this section of the country, with recreation parlors which will be decorated and comfortably furnished, comparing favorably with those quiet pleasure resorts found in the larger cities, where the particular and discriminating people may have their quiet chats
over a cool and refreshing glass of nonalcoholic beverage or a dish of appetizing ice cream or sherbet. The confectionery line will also be in keeping with the balance of the establishment, handling all finer grades of confectionery from the leading manufacturers. Mr. W. T. Ballagh is not one of the pioneer business men of this city and he isn't the oldest drug man in the city, but he carries the largest lines and commands that amount of trade. He was born in Canada in 1870, receiving his education in that country. He is one of the charter members of the Elks, a member of all Masonic bodies, a member of the K. of P., I. O. O. F., and M. W. A. He is vice-president of the school board of Nevada and a director in the Farm and Home loan and saving association, a member of the N. A. R. D., and the only member of the American Pharmaceutical Association in this city. He is also captain of "Troop A," the only troop of cavalry in the state of Missouri. Mr. Ballagh is also a lover of fine cattle
