COULTERCOMPANY
IN NEW QUARTERS
FLOOR SPACE IS INCREASED,
SIX FOLD
NEW DEPARTMENTS ADDED

1870 Feet, Extending Through to
Hill street-Four
Floors
NEW DEPARTMENTS ADDED

With the growth and progress of a
city, the strongest of it's industries
grow and prosper with It. The weaker
are unable to sustain themselves under
the new conditions and fall by the way
side. 1t is merely question Of the
survival of the fittest
Increasing It's floor space of 12500
square feet to that of $4,000 square feet,
the area of floor space in the new
quarters, the Coulter Dry Goods COM
pany has started on a period of greater
prosperity in keeping with that Of
Greater Los Angeles.
The men who are at the head of this
company have anticipated opportunities
and are prepared for them. Ten years
ago, had a prediction been made Of a
department store in Los Angeles which
would have 1S0 feet frontage, with the
depth of a block, the prediction might
have been ridiculed. Today it is an ac-
complished fact. The Coulter Dry
Goods company through modern me-
thods, and adoption to new conditions,
was last week removed from it's former
quarters, between Fourth and Fifth
streets, on Broadway, to between Sec
ond and Third streets on Broadway
with a frontage on Hill street.
With its change of location have
come many innovations in departments,
improved hygienic conditions and a
beauty and spaciousness which was
not possible in the old home of-<the
company.
Tea Room for Patrons
Prominent among these innovations
Is the tea room on the fourth floor,
fronting Broadway, where, with a SER
vice in every way as satisfactory, and
the cuisine as excellent as any of that
os the large cafes, luncheon is served
from IL o'clock in the morning until
2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Re-
moved from the noise of the street, and
with smoking tabooed and wines and
liquors not upon the bill of fare, the
management asserts it has found q
method of not only accommodating it's
patrons during the luncheon hours at
q nominal cost, but has also found a
means of attracting shoppers. The
tea room is 60x100 feet in size, accomo-
dating 400 persons, and is furnished in
the old mission style, frieze of orange
trees in gold, on a red back ground, as
a wall ornamentation, making the style
decidedly Californian

MISS SHONTZ IN TOPEKA.
She Delivers an Impressive Temper
ance Address Last Night.

Miss Eva NJ. Shontz. the celebrated
Chicago temperance lecturer, address,
ed the Kansas synod of the United
Presbyterian church last night.
Miss Shontz. who is noted for her
eloquence in the temperance cause,
made a deep impression on her hear
ers. She appealed to the members of
the church to take up the temperance
fight, and cited the present saloon con-
ditions in Chicago as an example of
the evil.
The action of Governor Hoch and
Miss Anna Hoch in using water to
christen the battleship Kansas meets
the approval of Miss Shontz, and she
commended the chief executive very
highly in her lecture last night.
Miss Shontz is dramatic at times.
During her address last night she dis
played a small American flag, which
she said had been captured by the
enemy, the liquor faction.

This is Miss Shontz's second appear

a Conversational missionary in West

born in the village and DR.. Flickenger
