O. W. DAWSON

THE MOST important office in the city administration is now held by O. W.
Dawson, who is serving his second term as the city's chief executive. Mr. Dawson
was born in the state of Iowa in 1868 and came to Kansas with his parents in
1S76. After completing his education he taught school for several years and was
later connected with the Walnut Creek Milling Company in capacity of bookkeeper.
For a number of years he was court reporter of the Twentieth judicial district
and about ten years ago formed a partnership with Louis Zutavern in the real
estate, loan and insurance business and they now have one of the leading offices
in these lines in this part of the state. Under Mr. Dawson's administration the
city of Great Bend has made long strides forward until today it is counted one
of the most progressive and up-to-date cities in the state of Kansas. Mr. Dawson
has proved himself a faithful and efficient public servant and he is untiring in
his efforts to discharge the duties of his office in a way that will reflect
credit not only upon himself but upon the city as a whole. Mr. Dawson's office
is located in the Citizen' National Bank block at the corner of Forest avenue
and Main street.

   Mr. Dawson at this writing is a candidate for the office of congressman from
the Seventh congressional district on the Republican ticket. He is of the type
of men who makes 	friends wherever he may go and if he is chosen to represent
this district at the national capital the people can rest assured that their
interests will be looked after as they should be.
