completed the second floor of the new wing will be devoted to the purposes of d sample room and will be the lightest. roOmiest and airiest one in the city.
 The Donofrio Zunkel company will lease a part of ,the ground floor of the new wing and Talbot & Hubbard will lease the rest of it. together with the basement The DonOfrio -Zunkel company will have the corner on Commercial street. 20 feet or half the width of the building. and 1O7Is feet along Cactus Way. This will be de- voted to the manufacturing needs of the company in it's ice cream and candy and soft drink emporium the capacity of which is already taxed though it has not been a great while since the establishment was opened up in present quarters
 Talbot & Hubbard will have the other 20 feet of front on Commercial street. across that narrow thorough fare from the rear door of it's pres ent stOreroom. and running clear around the DOnofriO -Zunkel com pany's factory will have 4S feet front age on Jefferson street. The Jefferson street square forming that end of the l. shaped apartment will therefore be 4S feet front by 90 feet depth. pret- ty decent sort of a stOreroom if they should choose to open one on that street. either for a general store or for a department In addition TaI- bot & Hubbard will have the entire basement Inder the new wing for a storeroom or warehouse for heavy and reserve stock. giving floor space of approximately 5000 square feet, in the basement.
 It is the plan of Mir. Luhrs to in- stall a freight elevator in 4the little court yard. chiefly for the lifting of trunks to the sample room. It can also be utilized for lifting trunks if desired to the upper floors whence they can be distributed with trucks This court yard elevator will be reach ed by a convenient passageway from Commercial street. There will then be no battering of heavy baggage around through the office
 If in the months to follow. Mir Luhrs should decide that he wanted more guest rooms he will merely have to add one or two stories more as he sees fit put the sample room up under the roof and make as many guest rooms as he likes
 When this new wing is completed which must be within three months according to the leases made. MT Luhrs will devote himself to needed changes in the front of the building No one appreciates the need of them more than he does but he has been waiting until the proper time arrived juStifying the expense and satisfying him of the advisability of remOdeline for permdnency. which recent events have done. The need is for appear ances rather than for actual com forts for at the present time a stran ger has to look twice to see whether he is getting into the hotel office. the barber shop or the bar room.
 Mir I-uhrS plans first to put plate glass front around the corner Of Cen tral avenue and Jefferson. with wide doors opening into the office. Then he proposes to tear out the partition or ar least part of it. between the present office and the big reading room in the rear Of it. putting the desk back on the north side of what is now the big reading room Then he will cut some large doors and win dows in the latter opening from Jee- ferson street. These improvements will make as large and well lighted and attractive a lobby as anyone could desire, when furnished properly and suitably decorated
 Thereafter the interior of the bar room and the adjacent apartments will be worked over and the entire hotel property. already absolutely first class as to gues- rooms and their furnishings. will he not only as com fortable and convenient but as at tractive as any hotel and fully in keeping with the new and modern Phoenix. But the first and most i'm portant thing is the HIilding of the wing which will enable not only the hotel. but two other important Phoe- nix business houses to expand s, their business demands and as tn. future of the city assuredly warrants
