Magnificent Quarters Of

RAPID GROWTH OF THE CLUB.
Comforts of the New Rooms on
Three Floors of the Mutual
Life Building.

On the three upper floors OF the big.
magnificent, new Mutual Life building at
the southeast corner of California and San
some streets is situated the new home of
the Merchants Club. These handsomely
appointed apartments were open for the
inspection of members and friends yester-
day. AS the visitors thronged through the
rooms music of a high order of merit was
rendered by an orchestra. To say that the
proud members and their friends were
pleased would be drawing it too mildly.
They were delighted with the elegance
and comforts OF the new clubroorns.
The elevation of the quarters does not
detract from their convenience. Rapid
elevators convey members to the seventh
floor before they have scarcely realized
that the upward journey has commenced.
1t was at the seventh floor that the in
spection of the new quarters began. Here are

covered a remedy which is an absolute
specific for rheumatism, and l only wish
for the sake of humanity that he had found
it sooner. My address is 211 Elm avenue
