H. R. Ficken,
(Payette’s Latest Acquisition in the Lumber Line.)

Lumbering is well represented in Payette, but none too well, for the great 
demand for building materials  admits of healthy competion in this line here 
and competion is the life of trade.

A comparative stranger in the city and state is H. R. Ficken, who less than 
four months ago came west from Bison, Kansas, and purchased the business and 
good will of the Thompson Lumber Co.  Mr. Ficken is a lumber and grain dealer 
of long experience, and will undoubtedly meet with well deserved success in his 
adopted western home.  He is a man of genial good nature, and one who impresses 
the stranger with his honesty and frankness in dealing.  His stock is choice 
and his prices are reasonable.  All building material is kept on hand such as 
lumber, lath, shingles, sash and doors, mouldings, building paper, lime, 
cement, etc.  A specialty is made of fruit boxes, while several grades of coal 
are also to be had here at prices which challenge competition.  
In short Mr. Ficken is here to stay, and as he is a man who believes in giving 
patrons full value for money received, his place in the future growth of 
Payette is positively assured, and he may be considered as one of the sturdy, 
progressive class of men in the possession of whom this city is very 
fortunate.
