feet in size. 1t will be divided into
three store rooms, one of which will
be occupied by the Recorder, and
the other two will be for other bust
nesses. 1t will have full plate glass
glass front, with widep late glass
window fronting south on Lemhi
street at the street corner, a window
that will give a fine display to at
tract everybody coming up the street
from the depot. The building is to
be of finished concrete blocks, and
will be as attractive as anything In
town. 1t is to be one story.
For the present the Recorder will
be obliged to entertain its friends in
the street or wherever they may meet
But when the new building is COM
pleted, it will be the Recorders treat.
AS it takes money to do all this
building and newspaper work, the
Recorder will be open for all sorts
of financial engagements that will
help meet the bills that are pretty
sure to come in. If you have any
thing to sell, if you want to buy
that you don't know who
has to sell, if you have lost anything
or found anything, if you want to
prove up on your land, If you are de-
termined to get into trouble and must
have some legal publications to help
it along-if you want some of the
pest printing done in the state, your
worth for every dollar you
spend. The Recorder is in the field
or all this business.
