DR. EARNEST MUNSON
 MANUFACTURING OPTICiAN

Every profession that an advanced and public spirited eOmmupity's need could demand. has always received hearty encouragement and support of Phoenix people. Especially is this true in the optical line which requires more than ordinary skill and delicacy of touch for successful manipulation. gentleman who combines the exact qualities which mark the expert in this particular line is Dr. Earnest Munson, who. has earned his laurels by careful application and steady per severance When Dr. Munson came to Phoenix five years ago he did so with the intention of giving to the citizens of this valley optical work which should be upon a par with the very best obtainable in any metropolis in the country. How we'll he had sue ceeded can best be judged by a glance at the interior of his we'll equipped establishment. where he has installed the latest improved mechanical de- vices that enable him to successfully carry on this exacting profession. The result is that the public were quick to appreciate his efforts and today he may fairly lay claim to holding a
  position in the front rank of his chosen profession.
 To help facilitate his rapidly in creasing business the Doctor recently installed an Automatic Acme Rimless Lens Edge Grinding machine that per forms line of work that previous to this he was required to send to Los Angeles and often times Chicago for successful preparation. He thus avoids long delays.
 Dr. Munson is a native of Illinois and graduated with high honors from the Northern Illinois College of Op- thamology and Otology. and since To- eating here accepted the Secretary ship of the Arizona Territorial Board of Examiners in Optometry by ap- pointment of the governor. a position he is eminently fitted to hold.

D. H. BuRTIS.
Pioneer Plumbing and Sheet Metal.

A record of a quarter of a century of active business in the pioneer plumb ing and sheet metal works of Phoenix, describes the progress of an institu- tion that was founded in 1882 by Fredericks & Hill. who four years later disposed of it to D. H. Burtis. who has, from the date of his possession. de- veloped the business to the point which enables him to execute any sized contract and carry it through promptly and successfully. His estab- lishment on East Washington street is one of the best equipped for carry ing on this line of work in the Terri tory and during the years of progress has constantly added new departures to it until today he not only furnishes estimates and executes contracts in plumbing. and all kinds of sheet metal work, but carries full and complete line of pumps. pipe and fittings. He also drills wells and installs pump ing plants, wind mills and gasoline en- zines.
 In this pump department he handles such well known goods as the McDon- aid pump. x Ray and Dandy wind mills and the Challenge gasoline en- zines. In the range and furnace de- partment he has the exclusive agency for the Jewel Steel Ranges and Boyn- ton and Richardson furnaces. which need no introduction to residents throughout this valley. In the plumb ing. steam fitting and metal working department he has executed some of the largest contracts in this section, and to meet the growing demands for this line of work, requires the employ r'rt of only skilled mechanics. whose wort iH times Is under his personal supervision.
 The successful cIrecr of ihis we'll known house Is the result of hard work and close attention to detail and

ALEX H. DAVIDSON.
The Scientific Farrier and Breeder

Among the great variety of business enterprises which contribute to the building up of a community there is one. the importance of which Is often overlooked.
 The business of the farrier is in reality an important factor in modern life. It cannot be disputed that the skill and intelligence of the expert horse shoer should be seriously con sidered both from an economic and humanitarian standpoint. The resi- dents of this section are indeed fortu
 nate in being able to command the services of a man like Alex H. David
 son. who has spent the greater part of his life in this line of work And whose reputation not only extends throughout the Territory. but to own CTS of race horses throughout the country. who visit the Territorial Fair annually and avail themselves of his superior work He has made a study not only of properly fitting and adjusting the right kind of a shoe to each particular type of hoof. but of the form. construction and care of the hoof itself. He positively stops inter fering, overreaching and striking knees and treats successfully quarter cracks. corns and contracted feet Mir David son is a member of the A. NJ. N. P. Associated School of Anatomy and Physiology. of Detroit. Michigan. and owners of good horse flesh in and around Phoenix are glad to be able to command the services of one so pro- ficient as he. In addition to operat- ing and experimenting his well equip ped shop at North Center street he finds time 10 devote to his ranch on the Mcdowell road. where he main- tains well equipped breeding stables and is the proud possessor of such well known trotting and driving horses as Lillian Lolock. 2:14 A; Dell Nette. 2:25 and the two colts Del So and Maxwelton Braes. MT. Davidson is a stock holder and director in the Terri torial Fair Association and through such men as he and his associates. owners of the best and fastest horses on the American turf are attracted to the fair each year.
 He is not only successful business man and breeder but is one of the loyal citizens who during his fourteen years residence has been active in any movement that stood for the future welfare of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley

WALTER HILL COMPANY.
The Pioneer Produce Company of
 Arizona.

It is apparent to all who are in the least familiar with the produce busi- ness that ability to act promptly. to be fully informed as to conditions of supply and demand. to be able to esti- mate with reasonable accuracy the probable course of events. to have the confidence of the business public. and a financial standing above question. are the imperative qualifications of the successful produce dealers.
 Extensive experience coupled with q wide range of territory and ample fla cilities to cope with all of the above requirements. enables the Walter Hill Company of Phoenix and Prescott. Arizona and Los Angeles. Cal. to bear the proud distinction of being not only the pioneer in this section but the largest receivers, packers and shippers of fruits and produce in the territory of Arizona. The parent house was started in Phoenix in 1896 by Walter Hill, and to successfully handle the rapidly increasing business. they were soon compelled to open a branch in Prescott. and later in Los Angeles. This firm shipped the first car load of bananas that ever came to Phoenix. resulting in a drop in the retail price of bananas. which were then E cents to 90 and 40 cents per dozen.
 Some idea of the increase in sales of this popular fruit may be gained when we state that at that time their weekly sales of bananas averaged twenty punches. and now il requires 409 punches to fill local orders only.
 In addition to being large shippers they have acquired an enviabie repu- tation as packers of select Arizona apples and pears. buying the entire field and having them packed under their personal supervision. Their fam ous Verde apples are sought after by cOnnoisseurs where ever the best is de- sired.
 They employ as many as fifty peo- pie in season. and the volume of busi- ness handled by this firm forms one of the important mainstays of our com mercial fabric. and an institution that our citizens may well be proud of.
 The company is composed of Walter Hill and Walter L. Hill, (father and son). The senior member is a native of Quebec and came to Chicago in the early history of Illinois, and remained there for a number of years. His son received his schooling together with his education in the produce business, there on Water street. ! Leaving that country. they located in Arizona and laid the foundation of an establish ment that today has no counterpart in this section. Their Los Angeles branch Is the buying and shipping sta tion for all California products. as they buy direct from the producers, thus doing away with all middle men.
 The Phoenix house is under the sup ervision of Walter L.. while the found er devotes his time and attention to the Prescott branch.

CONSOLIDATED TELEP ON E TELEGRAPH AND ELECTRIC
 COMPANY.

Phoenix has been peculiarly forum ate in the character of the men who form the companies that have charge of those branches of the public ser vice that have to do with the public cOnveniences
 It seems to be the accepted con- dition here that public service corpo- rations are to give good and efficient service at reasonable rates to the public. and how well this idea is car ried out can be fully illustrated by contrasting the service furnished by telephone companies, lighting compan- ies and other public service corpora tions with the conditions that prevail in relation to these things in most any other city of ike size in the whole country. Efficient public service with courteous, kindly treatment is the rule. and in no company is this more thoroughly demonstrated than it is in the conduct of the telephone company.
 The Consolidated Telephone. Tele- graph and Electric Co. that controls the telephone service of the Salt River Valley, and nearly the entire territory for that matter was organized about three years ago and has it's head of fices located at Tucson.
 The officers of the company are Epes Randolph. president; C. w. Hinchcliff. general manager; J. R.. Summers, auditor; Vernon l.. Clark, district manager. MT. Clark's dis trict is composed of the city of Phoen- K and the Salt River Valley. with ex- changes in Tempe, Mesa. Wickenburg and Florence.
 The company has the territory of Arizona divided into five districts with district headquarters at Phoenix. Tue son. Globe. Nogales and Clifton. These districts are under district managers who have charge of the business of the company within the boundaries of their respective districts. The com panv has a working agreement with the Prescott Electric e which gives their subscribers good service to Prescott and the surrounding coun- try. To the south a similar arrange ment is in force with the Electric Co.

VALLEY LUMBER COMPANY

In 1898 the Valley Lumber Co.,. was formed and opened yards on Center and Madison streets.
 The officers of the corporation are P. Corpstein, president and manager; A. A. Walsworth, secretary and treasurer; B. A. Nebeker, vice-presi- dent.
 The yards are large and commodious and carry large and well selected stock of building materials of all kinds, in cluding mill work and everything else that the builder may need.
 Mir. Corpstein, the president of the company, came to Arizona from Cali fornia in 1880 and located in Tomb stone. where he was engaged in the lumber trade until he came here in '9S.
 There has been a disposition on the part of the men in the lumber business in Phoenix. to so conduct their busi- ness. that building would be promoted and in doing this they have done a great deal of good to the town. Of course to the man from some of the eastern states. the price asked for lum- Der would seem high, but the man from Southern California only won- ucIS HUN luIllDcI NSlH De the prices asked.
 In the encouragement and promoting the building up of the town the Val ley Lumber Co, has played a conspici- uous part.
 They have ever carrics' large stock and have sold the lumber at a close margin. There are people who have never built a house, who stand around the street corners and can tell you just how every business in the valley should be conducted. and one listen ing to these fellows might imagine that some one was getting skinned: but the builders and contractors who are posted, know that lumber in Phoenix is sold as cheaply. yes even more cheaply. than could reasonably be expected. The lumber yards are doing their share toward a greater Phoenix and the Valley Lumber Co.,. is leading the van in the good work

To Clean the Sink,

Every sink should be provided with a three-cornered sieve made by covering a metal frame with very fine wire netting.
 When water is thrown into the sink it should be turned into this sieve, which retains every particle of solid matter, preventing its getting into the pipes and causing trouble. It is also much heater. Each morning the sink should be thor oughly cleaned. Dissolve teaspoonful of Gold Dust washing powder in hot water and with whisk broom wash the basket thoroughly; then carefully scrub every portion of the sink, pouring some of the hot suds down the pipe to loosen greaseth that may have gathered in the trap.
