The MESA CLUB DANCES
ARE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER
Big Crowd Ont Last Night Pro-
grams TO be Abandoned.-Next
Meet TO be ON December %.

From external appearances every
anticipation of the members of the
Mesa Club is being realized, in the
pleasure that they are obtaining out
of the series of dances, the second
one of which was given at the Audi
torlum last night.
One of the first objects that the
members have is In seeing that each
and every one present has good
time. The floor committee last night
decided for that dance that the pro-
grams would be abandoned, and this
perhaps lent much heartiness and
freedom to the dancers.
There are eighteen dance numbers
sixteen regular and two extra
and these seemed all too few, when
the pleasure that the members and
the guests seemed to be taking in
the dance, when the midnight hour
came. The executive committee of
the club for the series of dances to
be given this winter contracted for
a small and informal lunch to be pro-
vided each night, This lunch is
served about IL O'Clock and is al
ways quite "A feature of the dance.
Altogether last nights AFFAIR was
one of the most enjoyable the club
has celebrated, and the remaining
dances OF the series are being looked
forward to with the greatest of pleas
ure.
The next dance will occur on the
night after Christmas and is to be
made quite n holiday event by the
members and their invited guests
There will be some extra features
that will be added which unquestion-
ably will give much pleasure to all
the participants in the dance.

stalled.

II has long been n well known
fact that no city of twice its size In
the country has business men who
are more enterprising or who are
more up to date and modern in the
arrangements of their places of bust
ness than are the business men of
Grand junction. IL is often remarked
by strangers TO the city that such
pretty, thoroughly modern and
strictly first class stores as we have
here would be credit to any city of
any size.
Among the business men of the
city who are always striving to make
their places model and modern stores
none are more alert than f. w
Scott, manager of the big Red
Trunk Clothing House, ard during
the past few weeks Mr.. Scott has
perfected some improvements that
certainly deserve more than passing
notice.
The first series of automatic clo-
thing cabinets ever brought to Grand
Junction have just been installed in
the Red Trunk. and the cabinets
form one of the largest and hand
soonest clothing house fixtures ever
owned by a clothing house in west
ern Colorado.
contractor LumSden mad the cab
inets made to order. They are of
beautiful quarter-sawed oak, dark in
color, aud, as they are set in posi-
tion along a third of the length of
the long west wall of the big store,
they add wonderfully to the attract
iveness of this always pretty store.
Naturally they represent heavy ex-
penditure.
There are seventeen of these cab
inets, each about Z feet tall. Each
cabinet has big glass door, working
on ball bearings. and the door slides
back into the cabinet at touch
In each carrier are two steel, ball
bearing clothes carriers. and on each
of these carriers may be placed in
perfect shape 80 mems coats; hence
each cabinet has a capacity of 70
coats.
Above the solidly set cabinets is
placed pretty balcony, giving access
to a tier of handsome shelves on
which are arranged the trousers and
vests for the coats displayed in the
cabinets below. The balcony is bor-
dered by an elegant, solid brass rail

way in the center of the cabinet ser
les and hidden b. two handsome
ioors, leads up to the balcony. Three
Zig mirrors are placed at intervals
In the cabinet series.
And now, when the Red Trunk en-
ployes are allowed to show a Gus
toner over the big stock of clothing
it is no longer necessary to run over
big stacks of suits piled on long ta-
bles. frightfully disarranging the
clothing. He simply opens the door
of a cabinet, pulls out the automatic
carriers and the customer has before
him 10 suits to look over, and then
another cabinet is opened and so on.
The clothes need not be disarranged
and still they are shown to the very
best effect. The saving in time and
labor, the additional satisfactory
showing of the goods, the protection
of the clothes from dust and knock
about wear. are some of the reforms
the cabinets work in the clothing
business.
1t is certainly a great improve
ment. Mr.. Scott is able to show his
stock of clothing in third the space
and in a far more satisfactory man
ner.
Everybody who has entered the
store this week has greatly admired
the big new fixture and congratulate
ed Mr.. Scott upon its installment.
Many other changes have been
made in the store lately. All the
fixtures ard furniture are now of
solid, dark-hued oak, and the office
has been moved further back in the
store. Truly the Red Trunk is one
of the prettiest, best arranged and
neatest retail clothing houses in the
entire state.
