The Canon Steam Laundry-Finest Of
Work and Reasonable Charges
u. 3. Lantz, Proprietor.

In the work of cleaning clothes
there is no royal road to success. no
one process or invention that will at
once attain perfection. but instead we
have a combination of improvements
which when handled by men OF ex.
perience attain the highest standard
of cleaning power and secure the
acme of domestic" gloss and finish.
This is certainly applicable to the op
erations OF the Canon Steam Laundry.
which for many years has catered to
the people OF Canon City and the sur
rounding country.
Mr.. ]. B. Lantz, the proprietor, es-
tablished this business five years ago
It's operations include not only the
business of Canon City but covers
a large part OF the Cripple Creek dis
trict as well as the San Luis valley,
requiring the services of twelve en-
ployes. He is now adding a carload
OF modern machinery. making his en-.
tire plant cost between $4,000 and $780,

tween Newton, Kan, and Pueblo.
which he successfully conducted for a
number Of years. He also built and
owns the Florence Steam Laundry.

a plant costing $4,000. The secret of
Mr.. Lantz's success lies in his thor
ough knowledge of the business and
twelve years experience to SO thor
oughly practical a man as he is, know
ing every detail of his business. ac-
counts for his ability to satisfy in his
work the most fastidious of his Gus
toners.
He built and occupies his very at

becomes apparent that Canon pos
sesses many responsible and reliable
concerns, whose able management,
epterprising efforts, and extensive
business operations impart feeling
of confidence in her commercial sta
bility. Foremost among the stores
of this character, that Of Baker &
Biggs occupies a prominent place.
This business occupies a unique po-
sition in that it's stock is larger than
any establishment of its kind in Ere
mont county. Consequently its pa
irons can shop to greater advantage
The stock is diversified one, embrac-

progressive business men in Canon
City, and that his efforts in this di-
rection are rewarded lie shown by the
volume of the business transacted by
his firm.
He came to Canon from Hooper.
Colo, where he was in the grain bus
iness and ranching, and bought out
the firm of Reeves & Higgins. Since
then the business has been consid-
erably enlarged, they now having
more horses and more vehicles, while
they also run the buss in connection
with the famous Strathmore hotel.
In his old home town Mr.. Chapson
was well known and respected and in
1889 was elected to the legislature
from Saguache county on the Fusion
ticket. So popular was he that he re-
ceived all the votes in his township
but five. The same respect that was
awarded him prior to coming here has
been given him in Canon City, for he
is well liked by all who know him.

A special feature is ladies' tailor
made suits, which are the latest in
style and unexcelled for quality and
material The firm have an elegant
line of silks, among which is some
thing new in taffeta. Its quality is
guaranteed.
The carpet department deserves
more than passing mention for it is
seldom that such a line can be found
in city the size of Canon. Here can
be found the choices in Brussels, In
grains, Administers, Moquette and
Tapestry, while the selection of lace
curtains, portieres, linoleums, etc, is
equally fine.

The reputation OF any business firm
is the mainstay OF its prosperity. and
when an undertaking can point with
pride to the work they have accom-
plished through long period of years
they furnish their patrons with the
best guarantee as to what they will
do for them. The firm of Kober a
Sell is case In point. for throughout
the city are examples OF their handi-
work that speak louder for their skill
than words OF commendation from our
pen.
