AN IDEAL SPOT.
The FIourishins Orchard of Messrs.
Rickard & Talbot-Crop Yields Over
$4,000 a Year-A Choice Spot For
Home and to Make Money.

In other parts of this edition of The
Record we have in general way dealt
with the Importance and profitable ma
ture of the fruit industry in and
around Canon City and have endeav-
ored to demonstrate the profitable ad'
vantages that accrue from an invest
ment in fruit lands.
Many people turn with longing eyes
to Just such an industry, but their en-
thusiasm is somewhat cooled when they
picture the time they have to wait
until their orchard would be in full
bearing. Occasionally a full bearing
orchard is for sale, but such cases are
not frequent. and on that account 'we
intend to devote some space to the
Rickard & Talbot orchard, which is
now on the market and which Is a
prize seldom to be had.
This orchard lies close to Canon
City, consists of ten acres of the finest

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.
The Home Bakery, 6e2 Main Street
Makes All Kinds Of Cakes. Cookies
and Bread-Fine Ice Cream and
Candy ParIors-w. p. NeIan, Pro-
prietor.

There are few businesses which de.
mand closer attention from the propri-
etor than that OF n first-ciass bakery.
II II desires to hold the patronage OF
the public. Closer scrutiny is main.
tanned over the goods we eat than
any other so that the baker must be
able to bear criticism.
1t is n splendid testimonial to the
management OF the Home Bakery"
that 1t is doing n steadily increasing
business.
Six months ago. the proprietor. Mr..
W. p. Nelan. purchased the business
of w. l.. Hoffman and from the first
he has gained favor with the public.
His premises are daily replenished
with choice assortment OF bread,
cakes, cookies. and pies. 80 that pat
rons can rely that what they buy
is fresh and pure. A fine line of
newly made candies are In stock while
choice ice cream is served in the
dainty parlors or delivered to resi-
dences on order. Mr.. Nelan came to
Canon two years ago and has now
decided to make II his home. He has
built n fine residence on East Green
wood and brought all his interests
here. He sees bright future to our
c.ty and Is determined that he will
do its share in promoting Its upbuild-
ing and in providing patrons with n
frst-class, up-to-date bakery. Every
thing used in his establishment Is

its business houses. palatial residences
and cozy homes have been the work
of years. While the future shows good
building activity, its past growth has
been such as to reflect great credit
on the enterprise OF her citizens. Our
massive business blocks and many OF
our residences were constructed along
advanced lines of architectural beauty
with a result that is pleasing to the
eye. After all, the chief responsibility
for creating a city rests upon our con-
tractors and builders. Honest, relia-
BILE and painstaking contractors should
be appreciated in any community and
among this class can certainly be
placed George +. Trout
He has lived in Canon six years and
during that time has completed such
fine structures as the Catholic School,
United Presbyterian Church, J. ID.
Biggs' residence, also that OF J. w.
Nilsson and the late Jesse RAIDER res
idence.
Mr.. Trout has recently been award
ed the contract for the Lyman Robi-
son Block, which will be one OF the
finest in the city. He has contracts
also for the Clelland Block and resi-

in a workmanlike manner.
1t is just for those reasons that
after six years of operation we find
the business of S. G. Taylor, 202
Main Street, in a flourishing condi-
ton to-day. Buggies and wagons of
his make have given buyers much
satisfaction and are to be seen on our
roads long after those made in large
factories have gone to the scrap pile.
In addition to that branch of his busi-
ness he manufactures all kinds of
woodwork, and, having the latest ap-
pliances. is able to turn out good work.
A special feature of his business is
and the repairing of rub
Der tires, in both of which he eXcels
and his work gives thorough satisfac-
ton to his customers.
Mr.. Taylor is an old resident of
Canon and is well and fayorably
known to a large number of our peo-
pie. He is regarded as honest, indus
trious and painstaking, and his shop

clusively in this section.
This business was started in April
of 1900 and from the first has gained
favor with the public. Mr.. Coolbaugh
has had years of experience in the
business and is an expert tea and
coffee faster. The goods he sells are
his own special blends and are COM
posed of the best goods of different
grades, which, being mixed by an
expert hand, give an article which
is unsurpassed for delicacy of flavor
and purity. His teas are imported d.
rect and coffees are fresh roasted
daily, consequently he guarantees
them to be all that is claimed. Pure
spices, extracts, and baking powder is
carried, these being goods which the
public demand shall be fresh and
pure.
Such has been the demand for
"Coolbaugh's" teas and coffees that he
recently moved to larger premises and
is now located in The Record Block,

The company about a year ago &C.
quired storage rooms which are mod

ers can now store any quantity OF
goods for such period AS they may de
sire and on terms that cannot fail
to be satisfactory.
In the coal department they are
headquarters for all kinds-quality
the best and full weights guaranteed.
Mr.. @. T. Wood, the proprietor, is
one OF the best known business men
in Canon. He came to the town in
1879 from Carrollton. Ill. and at once
organized freighting business be-
tween here and Leadvillc. and later
between Alamosa and Gunnison.
He then started the transfer bust
ness. which he has conducted most
successfully ever since. In fact so sat
isfactory has been the service
given to patrons that competition
has never been able TO start
and he occupies the field prac-
tically alone. Mr.. Wood is closely
Identified with the growth OF Canon
City and has -Iways done his share
to promote IL, and as result, after
twenty-five years residence In the COM
munity we find him one OF its most re-
spected citizens.
The Offices of the company are To-
Gated at l07 South Fifth Street. but
will within sixty days move to new
quarters in the Clclland Block.

Connected with the business is
boot and shoe shop, which is in charge
of Mr.. ]. c. Ayers. The same salts
factory service is given in this depart
ment, so that anyone desiring shoes to
order, or any kind of repairs. can de-
pend on good work.
Mr. Dawson is well known to the old
citizens of Canon, having resided here
twelve years.
By enterprise, good material and
square dealing, he has built up fat
tering patronage all over Fremont
County. He accords to every visitor
to his store the most considerate at
tention, and the customer will indeed
be hard to please If he leaves with
out finding what he wants and at a
price cheaper than in Denver or any
other competitor giving the same re-
liable material and workmanship.
Cañon City record., 1901-07-25

when he wrote the above words, for
experience has demonstrated that
where a business house devotes its
energies to one line of work, success
grown steadily and in their new store
has come to it. These remarks are
very applicable to the dealers in tea
and coffee, for there are few articles
which give such scope for the abil-
ity of the expert in their selection
and blending. The average tea and
coffee drinker is particular as to the
brand he buys and will deal for years
where he can get the quality to suit
his palate. The average country gro
Ger has little time to devote to the
selection of teas and coffees even
If he had the experience. but has
to depend on others, hence the dis
satisfaction among consumers.
That these remarks are true are
demonstrated by the success that has
come to "Coolbaugh's 's"-the only
house dealing in teas and coffees ex-
Cañon City record., 1901-07-25

where he has fitted up his store in
an artistic and elegant manner. The
scheme is oriental and is carried out
more thoroughly by reason of the fact
that he has added a stock of oriental
novelties, china and bamboo work, for
the convenience of patrons.
Mr.. r. S. Coolbaugh has been res
ident of Canon for three years. He
is an aggressive, hustling business
man who Is creating large business
by treating his patrons right. BY
these means he has extended his trade
to adjoining towns and the name
"Coolbaugh" has come to represent
the acme Of quality in teas and coffee.

with fruit raising and has one of the

many years experience in the mercan.
tile business. he Is making many
friends by his courteous and liberal

On this land Is grown the finest
peaches that can be produced in the
country, the trees being of the Elber-
ia variety, while there are grapes and
other diversified fruits. Everything is
in first-class condition, the trees being
free from scale and the ground kept
rich. all of which statements are borne
out by the fact that the fruit pro-
duced all sells at home. Last year,
from ten acres. there was produced
$4,000 worth of fruit.
