cura Ointment, the great skin cure,
for preserving, purifying, and beau
tifying the skin, for cleansing the

red, rough, and sore hands, for baby
rashes, itchings, and chafings, for
annoying irritatiOns, or too free or
offensive perspiration, for lucrative

MANY BUSINESS STRUCTURES

Greater Los Angeles, with popula-
tion Of over 100000, is putting on new
clothes in modern structures every day
in the year. Old structures have been
thrown into the scrap pile and steel,
stone and pressed brick buildings will
appear on valuable corners and along
the principal thoroughfares where In
the past tenants or owners have been
content to engage in commerce with
inadequate space and with antiquated
facilities. The Improvement fever has
become epidemic. Owners of business
lots vie with each other in planning
handsome blocks and dirt is flying right
and left to provide Easements for the
modern buildings.
Just now the greatest activity is
shown on the two corners on the west
side of Main and Third streets. wherA

To Build on Large Scale
Within month a local capitalist.
whose supply Of cash comes from
rich gold mine will authorize the erec-
ton of no less than five separate busi-
ness blocks in Los Angeles, one Of
which will cost 100000. The total out
lay for the contemplated improvements
will be about 100000. This successful
mining operator has already invested
heavily in Los Angeles business prop
erty. and with each Improvement COM
pleted the future OF the city looks bet
ter to him. Instead OF putting up a
block every year he has decided to put
up fve or six at a time. He is the
owner of valuable frontage in various
parts Of the city and 1t is probable
that he win acquire other property for
improvements In close-in sections.
