D. NICHOLSON
Importing Tailor.

When the California boom of 1888 collapsed it caught D. Nicholson in the thriving little burg of Monrovia. where he had up to that time a good patronage in q tailor shop that required the employment of several workmen. He was however like thousands of other successful business men of that memorable period. and was compelled to seek greener pas lures. So he came to Phoenix and embarked in the tailoring business in small way in part of an old building which stood where Hilderbran's Jew elry store is today. He remained in that location for three years and then his business had grown to a point where he was compelled 10 seek larg- CT quarters. so he moved two doors west of the place occupied to- day whcrc he remained for I2 years and four years ago moved intH the spacious quarter he today occupies at 37 West Washington street. where he has ample room to display his splcn- did and carefully selected stock of im- ported Worsteds. Tweeds and London suitings. In addition to being direct importer. he draws what domestic goods he uses from F. H. Van Ingen & Company who conduct the largest house of this character in America
 Since the affair in the Garden of Eden. man has had need of a tailor In the early days of the business. it was nec- essary for the tailor to be able to trim off the rough edges and pin to- gether certain leaves. later it became necessary for him to trim and cut the

skins of animals to fit, in some measu- ure. the human form. But today it is necessary that the tailor shall be an symmetrical lines of the human form and know how 10 drape it to the best advantage This MT. Nicholson knows as well as does any man in the busi- ness and his trade territory is only limited by the boundaries of his ac- quaintances.
 To successfully handle the large volume of business. requires the en- ployment of from eight to ten experi- enced tailors during the season. and every garment leaving his establish ment must first pass the critical eye of Mir. Nicholson. He has not only been successful business man, but is a citizen who fully demonstrated his un- limited faith in Phoenix and the val ley when in 1900 he erected the hand some Nicholson Block on North Center street in which is located the Union Bank and Trust Company in which he is director and stockholder. It is just such progressive business men as he who have come to the front when ever the cause demanded it and done things. that has made the capital of the richest territory on earth, what it is today.
 He has from the start always been a firm believer in the great future of the valley and city and agrees with other well informed citizens that what Phoenix now needs is good judicious advertising throughout the farming sections of the middle western states, to tell the farmers of the vast re- sources at their command in country where it is possible to till the soil every month in the year. MT. Nichol- son is a native of Prince Edward Is- land. Canada. but has lived in Arizona so long and become so strongly at tached to it both in q financial and social way. that he is looked upon as q native product of the golden west.

THE INDEPENDENT
 MEAT MARKET.

The reputation enjoyed by this well
 known house is so excellent and wide
 spread that it almost seems superflu-
 oUs to call public attention to it.
 Nevertheless. we do so because of the
 numerous settlers and residents who arr continually coming this way and who wifi pursue the pages of this re- view and who do not vet know of the superior quality of meats sold by this house. Being located as they are on
 the corner of Center and Washington streets. they occupy one of the most prominent business corners in Phoenix wher they have installed computing scales and all devices that will help facilitate matters in their daily busi- ness routine This market is as the name implies. independent of any com bination. as they buy and kill all meat used by them. and in addition to the fresh meats they handle oysters. fish. dressed poultry and also cure and smoke their own bacon from native porkers.
 A feature that they pride them self upon is their home made kettle rendered leaf lard. In addition to en- toying an extensive local patronage they wholesale their products and ship to mining camps. Their superior fa- cilities for handling these products in large quantities enable them to bid on railroad and government contracts and supply these necessities of life on very short notice. Their ample re- friUarlTir1cr ar taSl -fn allows space for the storing of fifteen carcasses and they are now consider ing making it twice the capacity. They employ five experts in this depart ment. This business was established in December. 1906. when J. E. Sturgeon and Jean Orteig formed a partnership that was one of great success until the untimely death of MT Sturgeon, which threw the care and responsibility upon the shoulders of MT. Orteig. How ably he has performed this duty is best attested to by the fact that every month shows a steady increase in business. Mr. Orteig is d native of France and came tO America in 1S77 and later drifted to California which he was compelled to leave to seek new health in this famous region. In 1885 he came to Phoenix and secured work in a small adobe shop that stood in the same location he occupies today Mir Orteig in speaking of the wonderful scenes enacted in that space of time says that the next few years will see even greater changes. During his long residence here he has been progressive as well as aggres- sive and is always interested in any movement that heralds the wonderful opportunities that this fertile valley offers to the home hunting populace of the congested eastern centers and blizzard stricken states

THE SOUTHWESTERN
 AUTO COMPANY.
Who Have the Exclusive Agency for the Rambler and the Ford.

No one industry has taken greater strides in the history of this country than the selling. handling, repairing and storing of automobiles. The un-. surpassed climate the beauty and ex- cellence of the suburban and noun tain roads and the wealth and enter prise of the people and visiting tour ists make Phoenix the Mecca of the entire Territory for enthusiastic auto ing
 To provide ample storage, attention and repairs for this array of machines. no concern in this section is better equipped for excellent service than the Southwestern Auto Company at 3S and 40 West Adams street. They have ac- quired the exclusive agency in this section for two of the most famous autos in America today as any one who has followed the development of motor cars in this country can see at glance that the Rambler and Ford machines have always been a year ahead of most competitors and an in- spectiOn of their latest models, will demonstrate this fact to the most skeptical. This now popular garage was established IS months ago by W. P. Richardson who sold his interests last September to the Southwestern Auto Company now under the control of w. H. Patrick, who looks after and personally supervises every detail. A feature that no doubt accounts for his phenomenal success here. is the fact that he has superior facilities and ma chinery for the repairing of any kind of break downs. and owners of expen- sive cars throughout this section were quick to realize this very important feature for his mechanical equipment is not only Al but every mechanic employed is selected for his superior knowledge of the work
 Previous to taking up his residence here, and becoming one of our leading merchants. Mir. Patrick was for years identified with the lumber interests of Arkansas. He sold out his extensive mills and wholesale interests in and around Ola, Arkansas and came to Phoenix and established himself in a business that demonstrates the wis dom of his business acumen.

ELVEY & HULETT.
Wholesale and Retail Dealers in Drugs And Druggists Sundries.

one of the most important branches
 of business with which the public has
 dealings is that of the druggist. He
 caters to it's wants in sickness and
 health and he is looked 10 for advice.
 II is therefore important in dealings
 in this line to select a place that is
 known to be absolutely trustworthy.
 In that particular. there is no house in
 this section that has stood the test
 of time better than has the pioneer
 store operated by Mary A. Elvey and
 A. G. Hulett. who acquired possession
 in 1900 and have since attracted a
 patronage that extends not only
 throughout the trade territory tribu
 tary to Phoenix, but as far away as
 Globe and Grand Canyon. These Quality" druggists as they are famil- 3arly known at home, need no intro duction to the local public. and the proprietors intend that it shall con
 tinue in the future as in the past. to be the headquarters for all kinds of prescription and family receipt work. This most important department k not only under the personal supervi- sion of MT Hulett. but all assistants are registered pharmacists.
 They carry at all times a full and well selected stock of drugs medi- cines. the best known and most popu- lar patent medicines chemicals. al kaloids, etc. while in the special lines, they carry large selection of trusses, rubber goods, druggist sun dries and surgical dressings Their large display windows are always fill ed with the choicest of everything us ually carried by metropolitan stores of this character. and a recent display that attracted unusual attention was an exhibition of prescription files dat ing back eighteen years and running into numbers that astonished the na- lives.
 Mary A. Elvey of the firm. has been a resident of Phoenix for the past fif- teen years and has not only been iden- tified with the city in a business way but active in realty matters as we'll A. G. Hulett is a native of Bloomfield. Iowa, where he first became a regist- cred druggist and also operated a store for fifteen years previous to To- eating in Phoenix. Since locating here, he was appointed Secretary of the Arizona Board of Pharmacy by Gov. Brodie and reappointed to the same position by Gov. Kibbey. a posi- tion he has held from the day the law went into effect, creating this board The members of this firm always take an active interest in all measures of a public nature that have the future welfare of this city and valley at heart.

THE PHOENIX soTTLING WORKS.
Whose Motto is, Purity Guaranteed"

The recent government enactment of stringent pure food laws. was no more welcome to the people than it was to the conscientious manufacturers of food and drink products. whose repu- tation for purity was established.
 There is a manufacturing firm in Phoenix, whose watchwOrd from the beginning twenty years ago. has been purity" and this concern has gained a reputation throughout this section that has not only been their greatest asset, but the foundation idea upon which they have established their bus mess and reputation.
 Their plant on East Washington street is equipped with the latest ma chinery for the successful manufacture and bottling of all healthful carbon ated drinks, such as soda and mineral waters. ginger ale. iron brew, root beer and seltzer. and in their prepara- tiOn only purely vegetable ingredients are used Some idea of the extent of their local business may be gained when it is stated that they furnish their products to 99 per cent of all the bars in Phoenix and during the sum- mer season they do an extensive fami- ly business as well. This house bears the proud distinction of being one of the first bottling works in the Terri tory and was for ten years prior to 1905 under the management of Morin and Aitken. In 1905 Mir. R. P Bick- neil acquired the latters interests and now assumes the management of the entire plant He was connected with the werk for a number of years pre- ViOus to the change. He is native of Minnesota and came to this section 95 years ago and has been instrument al in building up an institution that IS a credit to any community. NJ. F.

PHOENIX TRUNK FACTORY

The perpetual sunshine and world famous climate of this valley have very naturally attracted thousands of tourists here each season and many visitors find it necessary to rcuutfit while here with q new trunk or trav- cling bags. This class of patronage. being composed mostly of people of ample means and accustomed to only the very best is often most difficult to please. but in this respect. just as in others. the city has shown itself quite equal to every emergency. and in the Phoenix Trunk Factory has an insti- tuition which is said by experienced travellers to turn out goods fully on an equal with the finest products of the most famous manufacturers of the country MT g.

THE ARIZONA IRON WORKS.

Way back in 1893 there was estab- lished q foundry and machine shop in Phoenix. In 1909 it was Incorporated as the Standard Iron Works and in 1905. k. l..

THE TROY LAUNDRY COMPANY.


 This is the latest laundry to be es- tablished in Phoenix. and was opened for business by the .Jewhouse Broth CTS. H. J. and A. N.. about one year ago. The machinery and fittings of the laundry are all new and of the latest pattern The drying room is built and conducted on perfectly scien- tific. sanitary plans and this is the Watchword of the entire establishment. This is the only laundry in town doing rough dry work and in consequence the boys have worked up a large fami ly trade. They employ 30 people reg ularly: have two delivery wagons and are about to put out the third.
 The \ewhOuSe hoyS came here from North Dakota about two years ago. In that land under the North Star, they were engaged in the banking business. Both of them are well equipped. up to date active business men and have so conducted their business that today al though only about one year old. their laundry stands second to none in the valley. Good ,yorl. done under strict ly sanitary regulations. and done promptly has been the secret of their great success.

THE HOME BAKING COMPANY.
 M j. PETTID

| The history of bread making dates back 10 the first evidences of the hu- man race and the saying that Bread is the staff of life" is absolutely cor rect. as it is possible to exist upon bread and water. No branch of mod ern industry has made any greater progress than has the baking business as is proven by the methods now in vogue in the Home Baking COmpanys plant. where d few months ago was installed an electrically operated dough mixer with 500 Ioaves capacity. also the latest improved cake mixer. These new devices do away with the old style of hand work.
 Most people now a days when they buy things ready cooked for their table like to know where they come from. and this is especially true of such staple article as bread. wheth- CT cream flour bread. rye bread. Sra- ham bread or salt rising. and of the delicacies. the assorted cakes, cookies. pies. rolls etc If they come from the Home Bakery they are all right is familiar phrase to many Phoenix dealer. while the house wife has learn ed to specify either mothers. cream or home made bread from the grocer. knowing full well of their superior quality and uniform excellence.
 This business was started in 1896. and was known as the Arizona bak- cry. In 1900 NJ. J. Pettid acquired it and at once made many changes and was soon compelled to enlarge it to accommodate his rapidly increasing business. and today we find him oper- ating two retail stores on Washington street under the supervision of Miss Mary and Miss Margaret Pettid, while Mir. Pettid superintends every detail in the bakery at the corner of third and Washington streets. His monster furnace ovens have a capacity of 1000 loaves of bread every thirty minutes.
 Mir. Pettid is native of Iowa and previous to locating in Phoenix was in the same business in Denver. He is aggressive and progressive and has great faith in the future prosperity of thin city and valley. He is loyal to every interest and public enterprise
