and with the immense volume of bust
ness transacted annually. the Console
dated Wagon & Machine company

position when considered with like
houses in this and other western

section. and it maintains branch houses
at Ogden, Idaho, Falls. Montpelier and

various parts of this section. 1t fur
nishes employment for about 200 men,
sfxty-five of whom work at the Salt

The exclusive Salt Lake agency for
the Rambler" automobile was some
time ago secured, and this department
is in charge of men whose wide ex
perience in that line insures their COM
petence. This superior machine has
become a local favorite. and already

reflect great credit on the enterprise
of the community, and are deserving
of the undivided support of our citi-
Zens.

optimism. Mr.. Odell said that the
present snowfall in the mountains

From all these facts. Mr.. OdelI felt
that he was justified in saying that the
outlook for 1906 was extraordinarily
good
