FLORENCE CONSUMES
PUREST OF WATER
The NewIin Creek Supply
New Municipal Wster~orks System is the
Pride of Local Citizens.

The water supply and water works
system OF Florence will stand compari-
son with any system OF the kind in the
country. and it is with no little pride
that Florence citizens direct the attention
OF visitors to it, The system involves the
piping OF a supply OF pure mountain
spring water from Newlin creek in suf-
hcient quantities to more than supply
all the needs of the community, and from
ia height ample to make it a complete
gravity system
Until less than two years ago Flor
ence's water supply was obtained by
pumping from a well adjacent to the
river. The water was strongly alkaline
unfit for personal consumption and
wholly unsatisfactory for steam boilers,
owing 10 the sediment or scale The
business men aud city council found it
necessary to adopt another system
After study of the subject Newlin
creek was decided upon as a source OF
supply a point was selected for the
intake about eleven miles from Florence
and at an elevation of about 1000 feet
above the city Here the creek was
damned with heavy masonry structure,
and at a point nearby the main storage
reservoir was erected. This reservoir
covers fourteen acres OF ground and has
a capacity OF fifty million gallons OF wa
ter From here the water is brought
through a pipe line OF iron to Florence.
For domestic and commercial purposes
the water is supplied at a pressure OF
sixty pounds, but a pressure of Iso
pounds is available in case OF fire,
The water from the city's new source
Of supply is absolutely pure and has
stood severe chemical tests. For use in
boilers it is found excellent, and practi-
cally no scale is deposited In the new
water works system Florence citizens
feel guarantee OF continuous and
amply sufficient supply of pure water.

FLORENCE AND THE
HOTEL QUESTION
The GlenrOCk.
Standards Popular House Stands Head
OF Its Class.

Florence needs nothing in the hotel
line. For the size of the town its hotels
are the best in the state. That is bold
assertion, but to substantiate it, take for
instance the Glenrock, the best SI.5o per
day hotel in Florence, and likewise one
OF the best in the state
This popular house is under the pro-
prietorship Of p. T. Standard, hotel
man of long experience, 1t is well To-
Gated, at ia Front street in the Schumps
block. The Glenrock is lighted by cleo
tricity and is well ventilated and heated
in every part There are twenty cozy
rooms, cared for in the best possible man
ner,and a large, well lighted dining
room with seating capacity for forty
persons The regular rates are 81 so
per day, as mentioned already, but spec
ial rates are made by the week. The
hotel is patronized very largely both by
the travelling and local public.
Proprietor Standard is an Ohio man.
He was born at Belview in 1862. Last
May he came to Florence and bought out
the hotel business of the St Elmo, In
September he sold this business to Bau-
man & Taylor, the present proprietors,
and purchased the Glenrock the same
month Mr.. Standard has made vast i'm
provements in the hotel and the methods
of conducting it, and to this and the fine
table and dining service may be
attributed its constantly growing pat
ronage

WHAT FLORENCE NEEDS

There is no point in the East that Of
fers such excellent advantages for manu-
facturers contemplating location, in
vestors with capital to nail good business
opportunities, or wholesale merchants
to supply the large number OF local retail
dealers. An influx of unemployed labor
ers is undesirable. and any material in
crease in the present large number of
retail stores could mean no improvement
in business conditions. but rather the
contrary. All lines of retail mercantile
business iare. well represented. Florence
also has the best of hotels. There is,
however, a splendid opening for a whole
sale grocery, dry goods or drug house ::
for dealers in agricultural implements
and mining and milling machinery
These things, for the most part, are pur-
chased outside at the present.
But the great advantages lie in the
direction OF the manufacturer. Florence
has all kinds OF raw materials. mostly
in great abundance and close at hand
including gold, silver, lead copper. iron,
limestone, granite, alabaster, gypsum
kaolin, pottery. thing, fire-clays building
stone and fine timber Coal is cheap. oil
is cheap, property is cheap and railroad
facilities are the best

HAS MADE PICTURES
FOR Ten YEARS
{. W. Rinehart
Leading Photographer and His Success
tuI Business.

The exact number OF Florence's beau
tiful women cannot be accurately stated
at this time but Florence has many. A
glance at the show cases in the photog-
raphic studio of E. W. Rinehart, how
ever, would lead to the assumption that
the number is far larger than it really
is. for there is magic something about
the modern photographers art that ac-
complishes wonderful results.
Mr. Rinehart is skilled operator in
his line. and his photographs bring out
all that realism can Justly demand and
all that art can suggest. He has a well
equipped studio on Main street, and pro-
duces all the latest effects in platino and
other matt surface finishes, photograph
ic jewelry, buttons and brooches, and en-
largements.
Mr.. Rinehart is a photographer of
10 years experience. He came to Flor
ence during the past year and bought out
the business of c. A. Erickson He is
catering to the wants OF the most ex-
acting patronage in town. Mr.. Rine-
hart also owns gallery in Montpelier,

place i'll the Florence laundry. The
equipment is such that any finish can
be given to starched work The popu-
lar gloss finish" is given if none other
is specified, but the domestic finish
which Is being demanded by good
dressers in the East is supplied when
desired.
Even the present laundry plant, how
ever, has proved insufficient for the
volume of business, and at the present
time Mr.. Thornton is making extensive
improvements and is charging the
building to meet the demands OF in
creased trade
w Y, Thornton, the well known pro
prietor OF the Florence laundry. was
born in Lexington. Va. in 1898. He
came to Florence in July, 1903. and
bought out the business OF the leading
laundry OF the town He Immediately
entered upon the work OF improving
the establishment, and has neglected no
detail TO bring the business to the sue
eessful condition in which the dawn
OF the twcnr-th century finds it.
Mr. Thornton was educated in the nor
nal school Of Fort Scott, Kan He is
q married man, and as a citizen has done

Prominent among the promoters in this
line of business stands f G. Kindred
who came here only two years ago but
who has interested himself in the oil
industry and the progress of Florence
to the extent that entities him to rec
ognition as 4 leading citizen.
He was born in 1868 in Adams county,
Ia, and was educated in the common
schools and state university. He grad
uated in law in 1903, and practiced in
Corning, Ia, for six years. In 1899
he came to Colorado and saw the posi-
bilities afforded in the oil territory.

FLORENCE STEAM LAUNDRY.
PROPRIETOR THORNTON USES ONLY MOST
MODERN MACHINERY.

II cleanliness is next to godliness,"
the doctrines promulgated by at least
one Florence concern ought to be the
most godly The Florence Steam Laun-
dry is the name OF the concern, and it
is greatly adverse to the practice some
persons make of detracting from their
personal appearance by wearing soiled
collars, shirts or other clothing. The
modern steam laundry, with its improved
equipment for doing laundry work, is
an essential adjunct to every economi-
cally regulated community Florence
has one OF the best and most modern.
Under the capable management of w.
V. Thornton. the proprietor OF the in
stitution, it has developed into laundry
establishment that compares with the
best and most modern in larger cities.
Mr. Thornton advertises to do everything
in the line of laundry work and to do it
in the most up-to-date and mastery
manner. All the machinery and appli-
ances with which the institution is
equipped are the most modern, and "the

DEALS IN NEW AND SECOND HAND HOUSE

There is one store in Florence where
a man can for few dollars secure near
ly everything that is necessary to fur
nish home. 1t is at the house of w
G. Ricketts,, who conducts business in
new and second hand household and fur
nishing goods, queensware, stoves,
ranges carpets and rugs. The line of
these goods is very complete, and Mr.
Ricketts, has always had emminent sue
cess in giving satisfaction to his custom
ers
That undoubtedly accounts for the
rapid growth of his business since he en-
gagged in it in Florence some six years
ago. At that time he had his stock in
one room in Gordon's terrace. In 1895
he removed to larger store on Front
street. and in 1890 Mr. Ricketts, erected
the large block which is now occupied
by him
Mr.. Ricketts, was born in New Castle,
Pa. in 1866. In 1880 he came to Colo
rado. and he located in Florence six
years ago, at which time he established
the unpretentious stand that was the
nucleus of his present. successful bust
