JOHN H. FRAHM.

MANUFACTURER.--Coming from Davenport, Iowa, thirteen years ago, Mr. Frahm immediately embarked in business, and has ever since been identified as one of our leading and influential citizens. He is one of the very ambitious men of to-day, and is a firm believer in that "nothing ventured nothing gained," and his business ventures have always proved successful, demonstrating beyond a doubt, shrewd financiering qualifications. His grandest achievement is in the manufacture of the Automatic Grain Measure, the only successful grain measure ever invented. His untiring efforts to place this machine upon the market and manufacture the same at home is a mark of enterprise appreciated by Audubon people and deserving of success. To-day he has in his employ twelve skilled mechanics. The demand for this machine in nearly every state in the Union is wonderful, and it is still in its infancy. Mr. Frahm is also propietor of the Stuart House, one of the most popular hotels in the city.
