One of the advantages which the people of Ottawa and vicinity have, which is not possessed by every city, is an up-to-date establishment conducted by a live and progressive business man devoted exclusively to buying and selling at wholesale of eggs, butter, poultry, hides, etc. The highest cash market prices are paid for goods in this line. This business was established in 1899. Six thousand feet of floor space is utilized by this establishment, which is well appointed for the handling of this business. Mr. O. L. Taylor, the proprietor, was born in Iowa in 1856 and there educated. Previous to establishing this business here he was in the employ of the Armour Packing Company in the capacity of buyer. He is a judge of live stock, poultry, produce, etc, and owing to his experience, he has gained a reputation second to none.
