SHADE TREES are the cheapest and best
Improvement our property-owners can make.
The trees are near at hand, and a few hours
labor is all that will be necessary to trans
plant them. The city is abundantly supplied
with water from the ditch to nourish them.
Nothing will give our city more pleasing
appearance than to have the streets lined
with trees from one end to the other.
