BUILDING CONTRACTORS.
The firm Of Huston & Domain,
building contractors, is the most sue
cessful firm Of the kind that has ever
done business in Morgantown. During
the past ten years, or the period in
which the new Morgantown has taken
the place of the old, Messrs. Huston
& Domain have employed every day

workmen. They have put up probably
nine-tenths of the new buildings in
the town, and to their well known
policy of using only the best materials
and employing only skilled mechanics
is due their popularity and success in
business. Both members of the firm
give their undivided personal attention
to the experimenting of all work en-
trusted to them and they are proba-
bly, now the busiest men in town. No
work done by this firm has ever prov

a contract it Is carried out to the let
ter be 1T for buggy shed or imposing
business house or dwelling. The firms
lumber yard is always stocked with
enough material to erect half dozen

holders in the Tygard Manufacturing
Company's planning mill and the in
slant they contract for building the
lumber is taken to the mill and pre-
pared. They have been deservedly
successful and will continue to do the
bulk of the building in this section.
