    1. [WILINCOL-L] A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT. D.C. Jones Tomahawk 1907
    2. A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT. D. C. Jones is one of the business men of Tomahawk whose qualifications have fitted him for the business world. Quick to learn, patient in his efforts to master business problems, success came easily to him, and while yet a boy he had won a standing because of merit and faithfulness. Mr. Jones came to Tomahawk in 1889, and went into partnership with E. W. Whitson in a general store. In 1899 he bought out his partner, and is now carrying a first-class stock of groceries, gents' furnishing goods and also handles flour, feed, hay and farm machinery. He has four warehouses, and he is first, last and all the time a hustler. He is public-spirited and takes a deep interest in everything that tends to advance the best interests of his city. He has been alderman for two years, and vice-president of the village for two years. He is popular and efficient, and a fair type of the self-made Northern man. He has been a man of action, and in his constant contact with men he has by his manner and character created such a favorable impression that few men in Tomahawk are more highly respected than he.
