c. s. MoREY MERCANTILE CO.
Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee,
.Fiavorins Extracts, Baking Pow
der and Other Manufacturing
and Wholesale Business

The great wholesale grocery house
OF the c. S. Morey Mercantile Company
in Denver gives special attention to it's
coffee trade, having as fine a coffee
roasting plant as there is in the coun-
try. with a roasting capacity of one
hundred and fifty bags of green coffee
day. Its experiments show that in
the dry climate of Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
Ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after it has been
| roasted. The great success this firm
is having with its high-grade package
conees, such as Solitaire, Iampa, Cap
itol, and many others. is due to the fact
that no expense is spared in keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al
ways up to the standard
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best in the country and he is In
structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and i'm
mense increase in their coffee business
shows that this fact is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch OF its man.
ufacturing business is that of its Soil
taire fiavoring extracts, for which an
additional story has just been COM
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest OF Mexican and Bour-
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's
Solitaire Vanilla, which is aged at
least twelve months before it is
shipped. and only the best oil OF
lemon that can be obtained Is al
lowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All
their Solitaire extracts are as good as
any made.
Morey's o. X. Baking Powder. which
will do the work of any cream tartar
powder on the market, but which is it.
self phosphate powder, is another OF
the firms popular and staple produc-
tions. which is winning favor as being
quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high-grade.
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to the
firm name.
The company is also a direct impor-
ter Of teas, in which it does large
business.
The grocery part of the business is
divided into departments each under
the management of a man who has
made study for years of the goods in
his particular line.
From one hundred to one hundred
and twenty-five men are employed all
the time. including thirty statesmen
who cover all Of Colorado and parts OF
Wyoming. New Mexico, Arizona and
Utah regularly.
The company's immense building on
Sixteenth street. near the Union depot.
on the car lines. is one OF the most
notable private business buildings In
the city, and shelters an army Of en-
ployes. 1t is one of the institutions
that make Denver and stand for Colo
rado enterprise.
The reputation OF the house is firmly
founded on the purity and genuine
character of its products. which are in
every instance fully up to the stand
ard prescribed by the pure food laws,
and all goods under the Solitaire label
are guaranteed absolutely by the pack
ers or manufacturers.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-With
an abnormally light supply OF cattle at
all markets last week and demand
rather better than the trade looked for
market conditions improved materially
and prices closed higher. Beef cattle
We're especially in demand and market
in good shape. Steers were scarce and
more could have been used. Several
loads Of pulp-fed cows were marketed
from northern Colorado, best selling at
S3.25 to 1855. Some choice Wyoming
range COWS brought $3.50, and few
odds and ends landed during the week
at $3.50 to 1925. Medium to common
cows sold all the way from $3.50 down
to $1.75. Bulls were active and firm
and veals little higher with tops
quotable up to $500. Feeder and
stocker supply was light and trade
quiet. Country buyers were scarce,
but dealers had place for everything
and paid good prices for all desirable
steers. Market on the whole is in nice
shape and dealers here are looking for
a very good demand this week.
The hog supply was very limited last
week and demand strong with prices
we'll maintained. Tops are now selling
at sG.25 and the range down to SG.1712.
The sheep market was very quiet
and the trade light. Demand and sup
ply was light and hardly enough stuff
here to test the strength of the mar
ket. Indications point to a very good
demand next week.

The precious metal production and
also that OF tungsten shows a slight
falling of this year. compared with
last, due in the case of precious metals
TO the fact that only the high-grade ore
has been sent to the smelter from
many OF the biggest producers OF the
county. while the low-grade has been
retained to be treated by the several
new mills that are now nearing compile
tion. On this account. the average
value Of the ore shipped from Boulder
county this year has jumped from
$21.3O in 1905 TO $5l.20 in 1906.
The coming year promises record.
breaking production. The many big
mills which are nearing completion.
which have been built after exhaustive
tests. have demonstrated their adapta.
bility to the ore and will increase the
production several fold.
