BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR THIS NEW
ESTABLISHMENT

Each year the mercantile institu-
lions of this city grow more preten-
tious and the population grows
and the demands of the purchasing
public grow apace.
Very recently there has been open
ed in this city an establishment
The ]. A. McCulloch Feed and I'M
plement company. which will be
when the plans are fully matured,
one of the show places of business OF
the city.
The new establishment is located
at G25 to 635 Main street, south side,
in a most admirable location for It's
business. For their sole benefit an
entirely new building was erected of
rather pretentious design. 50x125
feet divided into three distinct de-
partments.
On entering the west portion of the
building Immediately to the left Isl
the very up-to-date Office of the firm,
equipped with every convenience for
the transaction of business. Oppo-
site the Office is the seed and feed de-
partments, with counters and shelv-
ing for the better handling of this
character of stock. In the rear of
this department there is a space de-
voted to the storing of sacked feed.
In this same room, is contained al
so a harness department. This is
Immediately behind the office and isl
set off from the rest of the large
room by glass partitions, making a
very delightful and at the same time
attractive place for the display of
the big line of harness carried by this
firm.
Altogether this first room in the
big building is fitted ideally for the
transaction of business. To facili-
tate matters a dormant scales of
5 900 capacity is located in the CEN
ter of the building.
The main portion of the building
is divided into two distinct stores or
departments, one of which we have
described. The rooms are 25x60 feet
in area. The store or room to the
west is perhaps the show place of
the entire building, as 1t is certainly
most attractive. 1t is a real wagon
repository wherein one will find a
most beautiful array of the very lat
est creations in vehicles. 1t is clean
as a new pin, artistically decorated
and an altogether attractive room in
which to view the array of pleasure
vehicles gathered together by this
house. 1t is so constructed that 1t Is
practically dust proof and one can ex-
anime the wagons and carriages
without any inconvenience to oneself
and with real and genuine pleasure.
The firm is somewhat proud of the
manner in which they have arrang-
ed this department of their big bust
ness.
Running along the rear of these
two rooms is great room 50x55 feet
in area. This is primarily a store
room. Storage is here found for
great quantities of bailed nay, farm
wagons and farm machinery. An un-
loading platform has been built in
this room 10x15 feet in extent that IA
cllitates loading and unloading heavy
goods handled by the firm.
To the east of the building is a
large shed 14x125 feet in extent.
which is also used for the display and
storage of heavy farm machinery
and the heaviest class of wagons. BY
the side of this great shed is drive
way for the use of the firm and upon
which is located scale of eight tons
capacity.
The building as a whole is built
entirely with one idea of convenience
and adaptability. That the end has
been gained by the firm will be evil
denced to anyone who will take the
time to examine this splendid insti-
tuition. 1t is a credit not only to
the new firm, which has had extern
sive experience in the handling of
the character of goods in which they
are dealing. but the credit as a
mercantile institution to the whole
city and to western Colorado.
