Although there is something do
ing every night now in Greeley in
the show line, and a lot of good
shows are put on, too-and although
the city gets, during the winter sea-
son, some of the very best things
that are played in Denver or in
other cities of like size, the mind Of
the pioneer likes to turn back to
those good old days, when, il folks
wanted show, they had to get Il
up themselves.
How many people are there in
town who remember when Fezer'S
drug store was known as Law and
Fezer's? There is someone living
at $40 Chestnut street, Riverside,
California, who remembers those
days, and what is more, does not
know OF the changes that have been
brought about. A short time ago an
envelope was received here with the
Law & FeZer address, and while
there was no letter to indicate the
sender, within the envlope were
| four theatre programs OF bygone
years. doubtless brought to light
by the theatre program story pub
lished in the Tribune some time ago.
The programs, which are beauti-
fully preserved, are of great inter-
est, especially to those who recall
the pioneer days Of Greeley. One
has the date of November s. 1878,
two others are dated January 20
and 80 of the year 1875, and the
fourth was given on November %.

these scenes, but there was plenty
of time for everything then, and be-
