A CON MOTION
Pervading the McMnlien Biock-The
Cause of 1t.

Pervading the McMnl,en Block-The
Cause of It.
For more than a week past there has
been much OF commOtiOn pervading
the McMulleu Block, on South Division
st. Tho sound of the hammer and the
saw has filled the air with the music of
industry, giving substantial proof of the
prosperity which pervadcs the Valley
City.
But the tumult in the vicinity spoken
of conveys q deeper meaning tnan il
usual In such instances. for it signifies
the growth and prosperity OF the
Grand Rapids Custom Shirt Com
pany, who has leased for a term
of years and is now permanently
located in the fourth floor Of TINS
handsome structure. Years ago to To-
cate firm on the fourth floor of q
block was equivalent to removing it
from existence, but the elevator now
makes height suhservient to the will Of
man, and this company is amply pro-
vided for in this respect, having both
passenger and freight elevators At the
service of their customers.
The Past and the Present.
A year and hslf ago Messrs. Dwight
Brooks, {. +. Kelley and +. d. Brooks

vile block OH Pcarl-st. and IT is from
that location that the business has just
been transferred. No business car,
prosper without industry and merit in
the goods, and that the new manage.
ment have increased their trade is
evidenced that in their new home they
have trebeled the floor space formerly
at their command, have added twenty
two feet more of tables and machines,
placed in position three horse power
electric motor and, in brief, have added
every facility for the accomplishment
of rapid and thorough work, and pro-
vlding all possible comforts for both
customers who may visit them, and
employees.
Upon the methods and goods of any
business largely depends Its claim for
patronage, and IN TINS respect the
Grand Rapids Custom Shirt Co. il fully
abreast OF the times. It's cutting and
fitting department 10 under the personal
supervision OF Mr.. c. L. Kelley,

work. while their stock is

braces the latest designs manufactured.
