Rocky Ford is enjoying a steady
growth and is gaining a wide rep
utation for its enterprise as we'll
as for the product of the soil which
surrounds it. New buildings and
new improvements are noticed on
every hand and no community is
enjoying more health and happi-
ness that in which we live.
Among the elegant houses late
ly built, some are especially attrac-
tive and the business blocks just
completed or under completion
are striking evidences of the pro-
gress and success which this town
is achieving.
The building lately erected by
DR.. E. w. Kearby is worthy Of
special mention. It is a 2-story
solid brick building. The End
story is finished in the latest style
and is designed to furnish excel
lent accommodation for the Masonic
Lodge. The Masons have a lease
for 3 years and will occupy the
room this week.
The lower story is occupied by
DR.. Kearby as a Drug store. He
started business in Rocky Ford
in a little unpretentious one story
frame building in which he con-
tinued until recently, and as we
now behold his large and magnifi-
cent establishment we are again
reminded that perseverance and
close attention to business, coupled
with generous and obliging spir-
it fails not to bring success. DR..
Kearby possesses all of the these
excellent qualities and out of ap-
probation for his splendid servi-
ces "a . Physician and Druggist,
as we'll as for his official services
in this community, with its gener.
ous patronage erected this admir-.
able building and created this
business establishment almost un.
parAlelled in eastern Colorado, as q
lasting monument In his honor.
A description Of the details o.
this store is impossible for lack Of
space. The whole store is elegant.
ly fitted with new and handsome
fixtures. Every detail has re-
ceived careful attention. To cor.
respond with the purity of the
drugs in his stock, the Doctor hai
caused the shelving, prescription
cases, counters, etc. to be painted
| in the purest white. On top ol
the shelves and under the count
ers everywhere, Drugs, Medicines
Paints, Oils, Cigars and sundr,
merchandise are stored until j
seems as though not an ince cal
be spared.
In the front we see on one side
a Tuft Fountain dispensing deli
cious and refreshing liquids
favored with anything you wish
from Colorado Strawberries te
Kansas crsbspples. On the othel
side is our friend L. W. Keil thu
matchmaker busily engaged re
pairing watches and jewelry. AL
though a recent arrival in ou
town we predict for Mr.. Keil
prosperous future and the publi'
will make no mistake in extending
him liberal patronage.
| Casting a last glance at tht
large plate glass windows in front
our attention is brought arount
to the rear. Here we see Wal
Paper of many beautiful designs
at very low prices stacked from
floor to ceiling, almost enough t.
cover the Earth and La Junta too
Partitioned off from the rest o
the store in the rear is the doctors
private Office very nicely carpete6
and furnished. Into this commo
dious apartment the morning SUI
throws its golden rays, while be
meath the Office window the dew
drops disappear in all the brillian
cy and splendor of the Angus
rainbow.
Long live DR.. kearby and ma,
success and joy cover his path al
the remaining days of his life.
