of Dubuque and if subscriptions come
in for the next couple of weeks as fast
as they have in the past two weeks

the project were first opened it was
decided. to sell stock TO the amount of
$150,000, all OF which will be con-
trolled IN Dubuque. The directors
and trustees Of the project have sub
scrihed for oyer half of that SUM and
: to this amount citizens have added
euouAtI to bring the total To over $50

The new administration and lob
bling house building erected by the
w. L. Douglas Shoe Co., as a part of
Its mammoth manufacturing plant in
Brockton, Mass, was dedicated on
June 10. The program included open
house from IL in the morning until
5 in the evening. There was a mu-
steal programme and refreshments
were served all day. Fifteen thousand
invitations were sent out, including
over 11,000 retail dealers in the
United States who handled the w. l..
Douglas shoes. Mr.. Douglas says that
his three large factories, also the
new building just dedicated, will al
ways be open to inspection and
visitors from everywhere will be well
come.
The new jObbing house just dedi-
Gated will enable hurry orders for
Douglas shoes to be shipped the same
day they are received. The new build
ing is 260 feet long, 60 feet wide and
two stories high. The jobbing depart
ment occupies the entire lower floor
and the new Offices of the Douglas
Shoe company occupy the entire sec
ond floor. In the new building there
viii be special offices occupied by the
Western Union and the Postal Tele-
graph companies; also by the Tele-
phone companies and there is an
elaborate mailing department. The
J completion of this new administration
building marks the establishment of a
modern, up-to-date wholesale jobbing
house and office building.
Mr.. Douglas has long considered the
~advisability of a jobbing house. not
only for the purpose of supplying his
own retail stores more readily, but
that the 11,000 dealers throughout the
United States handling the w. l.
Douglas shoes might be able to obtain
shoes for immediate use with greater
facility.
The new building is said to be the
most complete and convenient of any
ever built for a commercial house in
the United States, so were the ex
pressions of appreciation by the many
persons who visited it for inspection
sincere and of a highly congratulatory
nature. Architectural beauty as wei
as a~daptability to the uses to which
it is to be put has been the aim il

satisfactory, to the visitor as we'll a
