Ling in the center of as fine a coln-
try as is to be found in the world, with
fine railroad facilities and hundreds of
smaller towns for nearly 200 miles in all
directions turning to Spokane as the
natural commercial center, this city has
built up a fine large wholesale trade
that might well be the envy of compel
tive cities. One of the most prominent
firms identified with the extension CT
Spokane's wholesale and jobbing inter-
ests is that of the A. A. Kraft COM
pany, wholesale manufacturers, import
ers and jobbers of harness. saddles, co..
lars, whips, saddlery hardware, leather
horse clothing and turf goods, at sl8
Riverside avenue. Beginning in a mod
est way, their energy and the ire
proachable quality of their goods, soon
spread their fame throughout the In
land Empire, and their neat trade mark
became known as a guarantee of their
excellence. The factory of the A. A.
Kraft company is fitted with the most
modern machinery. They give employ
ment to large force Of men. Long ex-
perience has made the company infalli-
BILE judges of the quality of leather and
nothing but California oak tanned Of
the best grades are used. and none but
the most expert mechanics are employ
ed in the manufacture of their saddles,
harness, etc.
Adolph A. Kraft. the president, and
A. S. Bruce, the secretary Of the COM
pany, are among Spokane's most promi-
nent business men and their energy and
business ability is so we'll known
throughout the Inland Empire that
they need no further introduction to
the merchants of eastern Washington.
They issue large illustrated catalogue
which il sent to dealers only.

to British Columbia and to Europe.
w. c. Edwards of st. Paul, Mimi, is
president and treasurer of the COM
pany; c. H. Bradford of Sioux City
is vice president and secretary. The
establishment of their yards here is a
great addition and encouragement to
the industries of Spokane. The Spo-
kane yards and Office are situated at the
corner of Jefferson street and College
avenue, and Mr.. l.. P. Coonrod is the
manager. The company controls mill
at Elk, Wash. Mr.. Coorrod was for
merly resident and business man of
Kansas. He is experienced in the bust
ness affairs of the country and especial
ly in the lumber interests, and has
taken hold of the business here with
the same spirit of progress that has
always characterized the movements Of
the company.

INLAND CxACxEx co,

Many surprises are held in reserve
for the people by the manufacturers
of Spokane, and it is only SO when the
details come to light concerning some
particular industry that one can begin
to realize the extent of the work going
forward in that particular line and
among the more recent acquisitions
of our city's industries is the Inland
Cracker company, which is most
creditable institution. In March, 1903,
the Inland Cracker company was in
corporated with capital stock of $685.
600 under the laws of the state and its
executive is composed of some excep-
tionaHy able business men, who con-
duct its affairs on the most liberal and
honorable principles and they hold a
very high reputation among the trade.
Mr.. B. r. Ostrander is president and
MIR. T. w. Kiesling is secretary and
manager, while Mr.. J. E. Davis, the
superintendent, is thoroughly trained
expert in the business. The company
occupies a large three-story building,
b0xl00 feet, at the corner of Mallon
avenue and Madison street, and is
splendidly equipped with all the most
modern machinery for cracker and bis
cult manufacturing, and will compare
favorably with any first class establish
ments of its kind in the northwest.
They are wholesale manufacturers of
fancy biscuits, crackers and cakes and
their specially is the Inland soda crack
ers, in the red package, a brand which
can not be excelled by any competitor
in this line. The company has in its
employ over so people, and four travel
ting statesmen cover the Inland Empire
pnd tributary territory, and they are
always ready to descant upon the SUI
periority Of the Inland Empire product.

Nothing is more conducive to the
comfort and convenience of the travel

they be strangers entering the city for

of the day or night to any part of the

An enterprise which has been insepa-
Fably linked for the past nine years
with the prosperity of Spokane as a
commercial center and one which has
added much to her reputation as man.
ufacturing center, is that of the Spo-
kane Casket company, whose office and
factory at l6l0-l62O Water avenue, are
always busy scene during the day.
They were first established in 1896, com
mencing in a modest way, but by ener-
getic and capable business methods til" :
enlarged their trade until they now sn p
to all parts of Washington, ldaho and
Montana. The old company known os
the Spokane Coffin Factory company,
was succeeded at the beginning of the
present year by the Spokane Casket
company, who incorporated with cap
ital stock of $4,000 .'
They manufacture wool and cloth bur
ial cases, robes and Innings, and are
jobbers of metallics and all underder-
takers supplies making speciality of
telephone and telegraph orders. Since
taking possession the new company have
found it necessary to increase their a
pacity and enlarge their force of EN-
ployes until they now give employment
to 30 people in their factory. Their
we'll known promptness in filling orders
is no doubt partly the cause of their
rapidly increasing trade.
The officers, Mr.. George f. Clark,
secretary and treasurer, and c. j..
Smith, manager, are among Spokane
most prominent and progressive bust
ness men, and their public spiritedness
has led to their being identified with
all movements looking to the promo
ton of Spokane's interest as manu-
featuring and commercial center.

The annually increasing demand for
steam power and machinery of all
kinds in Washington and adjoining
states necessitates ample facilities for
their production, hence the construl-
ton of boilers, machinery, etc, con-
stitutes very important branch of
industry, and Spokane. which has been
a great center for producing these prod
ucts, has developed very extensive
business in these lines and in this in
dustrial issue of The Spokane Press we

Washington Machinery & Supply com
pany, whose Office and warehouse is
situated at the northwest corner of
Monroe street and Northern Pacific
railroad tracks, and the building, which

are also dealers in boilers, engines,
steam and power pumps, hoists as well
as air compressors and rock drills and
mine and mill supplies of all kinds,
together with the exclusive agency of
Nalvoline oils, which stand without a
rival in the market. The officers Of
the company are Mr.. William Aitchi-
son, president, and Mr.. G. H. Wright,
treasurer, both enterprising and pro-
gressive business men, and under their
able direction this industry has had
a wonderful growth and has before it
a career that will become one of the
most important manufactures in all
this vast section of country known as
the Inland Empire. The machine shops,
under the direction of j. D. Ulley,

Evidences of Spokane's bounding

SPOKANE SHOWCASE 90.

In all the manufacturing and CONNER
cial enterprises of Spokane none has
been more energetic or more successful
in the last few years, in enlarging
their field and in increasing her repu-
tation as a manufacturing and CONNER
cial center than has the Spokane Show
Case company, manufacturers OF and
wholesale and retail dealers in show
cases, cabinets and store fixtures, who
have their office and factory at the
corner Of Boone avenue and Division
street. This firm was established about
four years ago, and the energy and
business ability with hich they entered
the field was appreciated by all our
business men who were interested in
the upbuilding of our manufacturing
interests, and won the respect of all
competitors.
They make specially of elegant
showcases. and many fine examples of
their work are to be found in the larg-
est and most prominent stores in
the city. City customers have have
only to call them up by telephone and
their wants receive immediate attention.
The material and workmanship in their
goods is of the best, and business prn-
ciples, embracing integrity of parpose
and a constant aim to serve their pa
irons faithfully and honorably, have
proven the keynote of their success.
The wisdom of this policy has been
demonstrated by the enormous growth
of their business, not only in the city
of Spokane, but throughout the states
of Washington. Idaho and Montana
and British Columbia. The manage
ment of the company is vested in Mr..
w. b. Rodes, who is well known and es-
teemed as one of our most energetic
and progressive business men. His abil-
ity is attested by the large business
done by the Spokane Showcase Co.
