IAN Roads Lead to Rome

This saying was so true and SO much to
the point in olden times that ii passed into
a proverb. Rome was a great place. 1t
started on "a small scale and gradually in
creased until it became a powerful city.
In these latter days, however, progress is
made more rapidly than in ancient times.
Cities spring up in a night, and the march
of civilization moves ever onward seeking
new fields to conquer and invest with the
title of city. Now the cry is, "all roads
lead to the Cataract City," and numerous
strangers are coming in attracted by its
superior advantages. Naturally enough
the thirsty traveller on arriving, seeks a
place to auench that thirst and remove
the dust of travel from his throat.
Our fellow-townsman, A. F. schmitz,
established a place just calculated to I'LL
a long felt want in this particular, and
stocked it with the choicest brands OF
wines. liquors, imported and domestic
cigars. and catered so we'll to the trade
| that he soon found his custom enormously
large. In order to meet the growing de
| mands of the public Mr.. Schmitz estab-
| lished the ELITE and found it also {
paving investment. A cordial invitation
| is extended to all to visit the Palace ane
| Elite saloons, and sample some rare ole
's1 Anderson and Ripley whiskies. There
is no better place in Great Falls. MT
Schmitz is the sole agent at Great Falls TO
| Philip Best's Milwaukee beer.
