This will furnish ample space on which to pile and arrange a complete stock of rough lumber boards and dimension stuff, such as is not affected by the weather, and would of itself comprise a large lumber yard. But this is only the outside yard.
 The company has, at the corner of Eighth and K streets, a lot 50xl50 feet on which they have building 5Ox6O feet and a lumber shed 25x9O feet, making about three-fourth of the entire lot under roof.

The entire front will be of glass, and it is lighted space of about l5x30 feet in the corner next to K street, will be countered off and used for the office, the remainder of the west half of the building being filed with an entirely new and up-to- date stock of builders hardware This will be the largest stock of this class of goods ever brought to Imperial Valley, and the most complete, as it is the i'm :tehtion of the National to cory such a stock that-they will be ready to supply any order, no matter how large or how small or what it is for, in their lne. }. The east half of their building 25x6O feet will be devoted te.. sasii, sloors,- blinds, transoms, glass s'-and goods in that line. Here again will be carried the largest and most complete stock ever brought to Imperial Valley and here again the National expects to sup ply everything d customer can want, right out of the stock, F. as they will carry complete stocks in all the different lines. goo ''S-

Wilson remains at the heal of the business he has built.up with such good judgment and business tact and is to be congratulated on the success he has attained.
