wide and l2O feet long. II Is
considerably larger than any
other business house in Alamo

known as the big Store" con-
Quoted by the K II. Pierce COM
pany.
The front of the building will
he reprinted. the big middle
show window enlarged. and the
interior will be changed to suit
the needs Of a big furniture and
house furnishing business. All
Of the stock now carried in the
Oliver building on Pennsylvania
avenue will be transferred to
the building which has just been
leased. After the stock is trans
ferred, the Oliver building will
he used exclusively for second
hand goods.
Oliver has been in business in
Alamogordo since May |, 1901
The little shack which first flew
his sign could literally be set
into the big show window of the
big store which he has leased.
He has stuck to Alamogordo.
And Alamogordo has manifestly
stuck to him. The growth OF
the business certainly proves
| the latter statement.
Oliver has done much to ad,
vertise Alamogordo. 1t ought
TO be a source of pride and graf,
ification to him to be able tC
move into store rooms large
enough to admit of further ex

of the transformation of the
Pecos Valley. The material de.
velopment of that district ha:
been almost incredible since an
abundant supply of water has
been available for irrigation.
If artesian water is brought II
here, the history of the Sacra

All we lack is their water
