A New Store
A New Stock

The transferring of our loan
department to Mr.. Fullan
and the closing out Of the
remnant of our present stock
means that when we open
our new store-at the corner
of Texas st. and Mesa Ave.

and most complete stock Of
jewelry and the most hand
somely appointed store de-
voted exclusively to the jew
elry business in the entire
southwest. Of this you will
be advised later. What we
want to impress ON you right

gains you can now buy, also
that we have transferred the

that this allowance with the transfer OF

that the lower valley has mortgaged its
lands for $40 an acre. that the govern

that filing has been made for 10000
acres for water rights, and a treaty
made with Mexico. For these reasons

lifical conditions that made municipal

those conditions have been radically

port of experts fixes the mesa as the

a petition to the San Francisco board

taken to have the board of health re-
scind its action In removing DR.. John
Atcherty from attendance upon them.
The petition recites a pathetic story Of
WEAKNESS and loneliness that is sus-
tanned only by the hope that they may
be benefited and ultimately cured OF
their dread malady.
Ever since our imprisonment, which
has been from three months to eight
years." the appeal states, I'VE have had
no systematic treatment until DR.. Atch-
erty gave US his attention. The other
physicians have plainly shown their
to come in contact with
us. The results are that we have been
