LOUIS JAGO. � A mercantile establishment of which the town of Lower 
Lake has reason to be proud is the general store known as Jago's Cash Store, 
owned by Louis Jago. Its stock has the reputation of including "everything 
from a needle to a threshing rig." Its convenience as a trading place has 
brought many people to the town who have found they could also serve other 
interests there, and has thus proved a boon to many local establishments 
which have enjoyed an increase of custom owing to the numbers attracted to 
Lower Lake by the advantages of dealing at Jago's. Mr. Jago's business 
ability is not his only strong characteristic. He upholds every movement 
which promises to benefit the community, and his influence and example in 
citizenship have been as important to the welfare of the town as his com- 
mercial activities. 

Mr. Jago was married during his residence in Burns valley to Miss Emma 
Strothoff, of San Francisco, who is of German descent, daughter of the late 
Hermann Strothoff, at one time a silk merchant in San Francisco. They have 
three children: Edna F., now seventeen years old; John Louis, and Emma. 
The family home at Lower Lake is one of the finest in the town, and in 1913 
Mr. Jago erected a summer residence at Point View, on Clear Lake, about six 
miles north of the town, toward Kelseyville.
