In the little town of Coats just over the line in Pratt county, a modest little sign points the way to the office of Dr. R.C. Hutcheson, physician and surgeon. If you enter and find the doctor in, and the chances are two to one you will not, for he is a very busy man, you will meet a middle-sized, ruddy faced man apparently about thirty years of age, but who in reality is up in the forties and he has now been in practice at his present location for the past fifteen years. While living in Pratt county is only a geographical line that denies him citizenship in Barber county where he has a large and growing practice and in whose development and progress he takes an active interest. He is the kind of man who is always ready to take stock in any commendable enterprise and that is why he chips in to help out the Cresset with its extra edition, while he advertises himself and his practice on the side.The doctor is throughly educated in his profession, a graduate of pharmacy, medicine, dentistry and is a skillful practitioner. He is also a successful business man, has a snug little property of his own and shekels laid by for a rainy day. The doctor is all right.
