corporation filed It's articles with the Sec

featuring industries here. They say that
150 families Will come here in connection
with this concern.

may be Judged by the character OF It's
homes. Salt Lake looks good from this
standpoint. There is BODYBUILDING IN
every direction. Nearly all are substan-

Tho business district has shown
marked growth. The several skyscrapers
that have been erected ON Main street
between South Temple and Fourth South
streets give this district a f%ed position
as trading center. However. the rapid
growth OF the city makes II impossible
for Main street to retain the monopoly Of
trade that II has heretofore enjoyed and
other streets are coming into their own
in this matter OF trade. Tho business
houses are all having good trade at
satisfactory prices, and the outlook IS
all that could be wished for.

section Property which klmball & Rich
