WALTER M. LANTER is the proprietor of a butcher shop on Main street in
Williamstown.  This is his first business enterprise.  Prior to the time
of establishing the shop he was a farmer, having worked on the farm all
his life.  Walter is the eldest son of B. F. Lanter, a former Grant
county citizen, and one whom all our people knew very well, indeed.  He
is a hard-working, industrious young man, and does what he goes at with
a will that shows his heart is in the work.
     He came into this world on the 16th day of March 1874.  His father
was a farmer, and he showed no inclination to enter any other calling
until a few months ago, when he concluded to embark in the butcher
business.  He has been eminently successful in that calling.  He has a
large patronage of the very best people in Williamstown.  He understands
the business and we have no doubt will make plenty of friends and lots
of money in Williamstown.
     Walter is unmarried, but promises to remedy that defect just as soon
as time will allow him to do so.  He can always be found in the old Stroud
building in Williamstown, on Main Street, and all who call on him will be
treated politely and courteously and will receive as much for their money
as at any store of the kind in town.
