THE DORRIS- LEHMAN FURNl-
 TURF COMPANY

If there was some way to transport the three big show windows of the Dorris-H -Heyman Furniture company about the country it would be one of the best possible advertisements for Phoenix and the Salt River Valley. The world would then know that only 9 good city and a rich community could produce such an establishment. And it has been done in a comparatively short time. It has come about in little more than ten years, for that long ago the ern had 9 small beginning. Now it is one of the great furniture es- tablishments of the southwest. There is no finer or more expensive furniture p1ade than may be seen in the show windows os the store. Then there is furniture for those of moderate means. There is not only furniture but what ever else is needed or desired for the establishment of a comfortable or a luxurious home. The show windows glisten with the most skillfully cut glass. They are decorated with the most famous pottery of Europe and there is a warmth of color in the rich drapery and hangings from the most famous looms of the world. The car pet and the curtain departments are subjects of study. Half a generation ago it would not have been thought that the time would ever come when such specimens of the textile art would find their way across the desert.
 The kitchen has not been overlooked by this big establishment. Every com fort and convenience has been provided and what is frequently equally to the purpose the means of obtaining these conveniences and luxuries has been brought by the firm within the reach of all

THE HUB CLOTHING HOUSE

The Hub is supposed to be the center of everything but that isn't true of the Hub clothing store. It is only a center for swell dressers. Other people go there too, and lots of them, for the Hub has a full line of ready made clothing even down to the cheaper grades and everybody likes to be in the procession and as close up to the
 swelf head of it as possible, and the Hub has something suitable for every body.
 The attractive feature of every big clothing and furnishing goods store are the show windows, and in this respect the Hub is fully up to date. Its the show windows that catch the eye and the boy inside that backs up the show windows and get the dollar. There are

THE BERRYHILL COMPANY.

The Berryhill company has been ap- pointed the agent for the southwest of
 the fiIgnl of Kris Kringie, Santa Claus
 & Co, and they have been receiving for several weeks huge consignments
 from that old and reliable concern. A
 man who has travelled extensively and
 seen much said the other night that
 he had never before been thrown in
 contact with such a collection of toys
 and such wonderful toys. There are hundreds of different mechanical toys, railroad trains, cows that moo, sheep that bleat and horses that neigh and
 Whinny. Then there are men who fly around the Eiffel tower in air ships and other men who do all manner of funny things. There are thousands of toys which are not mechanical and which do nothing but look pretty. Nearly all these toys were made in Germany the most famous toy country in the world and they were bought at very low prices through the icompany's importers.
 But the toy business as it is, is a small part of the great business of the Berryhill company which in a little more than a year has grown to be one of the most important of the city There is an admirable collection of books for the holidays and for all other days. More attractive books were never seen. One can get almost any kind of a book there that he wants and he may get all the latest books. Beside books and toys there are thousands of appropriate Christmas gifts some of them inexpensive and some of them very expensive but all of them low priced considering the quality. Every body ought to see the BerryhiH stock this week

GEORGE H. COOK, JEWELER.

A reporter for the Republican visited this estabhshment yesterday.

cHAs sANIcHAs, CONFECTIONERY

Chas Sanichas has not been a resi- dent of Phoenix a great many years but he has always been a successful one, fact due to a great stock of energy and experience which he brought to the c'ty with him. He has in a comparatively short time built up one of the biggest fruit and confeetion- cry establishments in the territory. He knew what to do and he did it. He revolutionized that particular line in Phoenix and created a demand. He was satisfied with nothing but the best himself and he soon got many people

in the city to be as discriminating as he was and in consequence he soon had a big trade which he has been con- stantly increasing. Nothing in the way of fruits or flowers procurable he falied to offer to his customers.
 The confectionery side of his bus1- ness has grown .maiYellously Tor ne has made and superintended the max ing of his own candies and copfections and there was nobody who could beat him at that The fame of his products has spread throughout the territory MT.

They are free from worms and solid to

gone and the dealers do not expect an

they are very scarce. Most of the p ars
marketed here have been shipped from
Idaho and the dealers have been unable
to supply the demand during the past

An old tradition says the .Aztecs were
n OF powerful tribes that
emerged from seven caverns in a re-
glon called Aztlan, or place of the
heron. They wandered away from
their fellows after a great confusion of
tongues and settled in the region they
are known to have inhabited. This
tradition may be partly fabulous. but it
Is sure that the Aztecs settled the
country before the eleventh or twelfth
century.
All the tribes lived in peace for a
considerable time until the strong be-
gan to encroach upon the territory of
the weaker. Then a fierce wal for su-
premacy over the whole territory en-
sued and lasted many years. Under
the leadership of their military clliefs
the Aztecs obtained control Of the
whole territory and established a very
enlightened form of government. This
was contaminated in 1924 or 1925.
