ENLARGING BUSINESS
Big Addition Being Built for the
Ley Brothers.

Plans have been completed for an
extensive Improvement and enlarging
of the Ley Brothers furniture factory
on High avenue west, near D street.
The new part that will be erected IS
new work room that will measure
sixty feet in length by thirty in width.
1t will be built over the south part OF
the factory.
This will give the Ley Brothers
quite an extensive establishment. The
space now occupied by this enterpris-
ing firm is large salesroom on the
first floor that is forty by ninety feet,
back Of this is a large work room, di,
mansions sixty by thirty feet, and II
is over this room that the new addi-
ton is to be erected. The basement,
forty by thirty feet, is occupied as a
show room and another room forty cy
sixty feet on the second floor. This
gives the company a total floor space
Of 10,400 square feet.
The company will Immediately in
stall new engine for the better oper-
ating Of its machinery and a number
of new machines have been purchased
and will be installed in the plant,
With the completion of the new plant
and the installing of the new ma,
chimes three or four more workmen
will find steady employment at the
factory.
The Ley Brothers furniture factory
has been one Of the most successful
institutions in the city and their
growth has been little less than re.
markable during tho past several
years. They carry their goods into
successful competition in the markets
Of the state and they are so far behind
on orders at the present time that ad.
ditional space and a large force OF
workmen is indispensable.

RAILROAD BUILDING.
Newton Branch of Iowa Central to
Reach Des Moines.

Newton, July S.-Work on the grade
for the Newton G Northwestern Rail
road is progressing very satisfactorily
notwithstanding the wet condition of
the ground, which prevailed during
the early part Of the work. Several
camps Of men are at work between
here and Metz, beginning on the
heavy cuts and fills. The work is the
heaviest between this point and Metz
of any point on the road. More teams
and men are arriving almost daily but
it els very difficult to secure enough
men. The Iowa Central has large
force Of Italians at work on the right
of way between this point and New
Sharon, preparatory, it is supposed, to
making connection at this point with
the Newton & Northwestern and the
Tnterurban Electric Railroad. Among
the other improvements soon to be
commenced at this place. is the laying
of water mains to Skunk river, six
miles distant, to furnish a water sup
ply forNewton. The deep well water
now in use is unfit for boilers as it
contains too much mineral, conse-
quently a local water company has
been formed to bring water from the
river, using a number of drive wells,
which will furnish an abundance OF
water suited to every need. The stock
to the new company has been sub
scribed and work will begin in the
near future.

Letter to Mr.. c. NJ. Perry.
Cskaloosa, Iowa.

Dear Sir: You can make our paints
1t would cost you more than to buy
it; because we work by machinery,
you by hand. We grind and mix;
you only mix. Your paint would not
be the same, because mere mixing
isn't enough.
We use good deal of zinc. You
can't do that; it is hard to mix. A
streak of load and a streak Of zinc is
not lead and zinc. The lead would
chalk off, and the zinc peel off, Lead
and zinc stays on.
1t is grinding together, intimate
mixing, that makes Devoe Ready
Paint good paint. You can't do that;
and couldn't afford it, even If you
could do it.
We have been making paint 14s
years. We make good deal; can
afford to provide the machinery for 1t.
We are your helper, not your
hinderer.
......~ Yours truly,
h. ....... F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Co. sell Devoe paint.
