business grew and trade increased
proportionately. He was forced to en-
large his stock until it filled an ad-
ditional room. Trade increased and
bhird room full of goods was neces-
sary. Today, as Santa Fe customers

Mr.. Salmons ambition, however,
was not entirely confined to enlarging
his business and accommodating wealth.
AS he made money he spent it freely !
in the right manner, and what Is of
more importance, in Santa F'e. When

business men of Santa Fe, Mr. Sal

which costs handsome sum and
which adds considerably to the tax
