Monte Vista Hardware Go.

For a city Of 5000 people, Monte
Vista has many business houses
that would do credit to a much
larger town. In the front row of
these enterprises 10 the Monte
Vista Hardware Company, on First
avenue. It is modern in every par
ticuiar, 10 conducted on up-to-dste
lines, and 10 growing at 4 rate
commensurate with the rapid up
building OF Monte Vista and the
San Luis valley.
The gigantic strides made during
the past fifteen years by manufac-
turers Of the United States have
enabled Americans to invade every
part Of the civilized world. Yet
while this invasion has been going
on, new markets have been opened
ut home, and now the modern hard
ware and implement store il one of
the chief businesses Of every town
that lays claim 70 importance.
The Monte Vista Hardware Com
pany Ia m Incorporated concern,
10 backed by ample capital, aud is
conducted by men widely and fav-
orabiy known in this part Of Colo
RADIO. During the ak years Of its
existence the business has grown
many fold and the company's per-
manent patronage, which counts
for most, has registcrcd = monthly
increase.
President Evcrsolc has been .
resident Of Monte Vista for twen-
ty-six years, and no man commands
Q higher standing. For ten years
he was with the Colorado Valley
Land Co., and for twelve years,
ending in April, 1910, he WAS post
master OF Monte Vista. Since then
he has taken an Activc part In the
business Of the hardware company.

Monte Vista Tailoring Co.

Three essentials Of high grade
tailoring are select fabrics, correct
styles and first class workmanship.
With either lacking, the charm is
broken. Nowadays Americans are
more fast.dious in the matter of
their wearing apparel than ever
before, and in consequence made
to-measure clothing is in greater
demand than ever, and the require
ments of the tailor are more exact
ing as to every quality and attri-
butte OF clothing.
The Monte Vista Tailoring Co., in
the Worth uilling on First ave-
nue., is meeting strong demand
for tailor-made clothing. AL
though the company has been in
business only since October Is,
1910, its trade has grown rapidly,
and its customers now include the
best dressed ladies and gentlemen
of Monte Vista. All work is done
in accordance with the latest ideas
and satisfaction is guaranteed in
every instance.
II. Brucker, manager of the COM
pany, has had four years expert
ence as tailor. He came to
Monte Vista from Memphis, Ten
nessee, where he was in business.
He has taken the agency for the
famous Detmer Wooden Co., and
also represents s. II. Churchill and
Fred Kaufman and A. l.. Ander-
son & Co., who conduct three of
the popular tailoring houses of the
country. His woolens are the best
money can procure, and represent
the choicest domestic and foreign
materials. A large assortment of
suitings is kept on hand for
inspection.
Both ladies' and gentlcmcn's gar
ments are made to order. Part of
this work is done by Mr.. Brucker,
and part is done at the large east
ern houses which he represents.
There has been an excellent de-
mand for made-to-order clothing

The company does general
hardware business and makes a
special appeal to the farming fra
