NEW GROCERY AN
UNUSUAL SUCCESS

The Consolidated Grocery & Meat
company, recently established on Third
South street near the new retail dis
trict, reports remarkable success in It's
first two weeks of business. The new
concern is expected to prove consid;,
erable factor in the attraction Of retail
trade to East Third South street.
Equipped with every modern feature of
the grocery trade, including an excel
lent family liquor department and an
up-to-the-minute delicatessen plant, the
company intends to lead in its class Of
business in the new district.
"Our special features have met with
general public approval" said S. l..
Mayer, assistant general manager, yes
terday, "and though we can scarcely
be said to have fully launched our.
selves, the trade already has exceeded
our expectations.

DEPOSITS IN LOCAL
BANKS INCREASING
Financial Outlook Is Regarded
Satisfactory Upon It's
Broadest Lines.

The last week brought virtually no
change in the financial situation of
Salt Lake, according to local bankers,
who report that existing conditions are
generally satisfactory. A plentiful
supply of money to meet all legitimate
demands, splendid crop outlook and
good collections with every promise Of
still better in the fall, are prime factors
that combine to build up an optimistic
spirit in business circles.
Although there was apparently no
heavy call for loans during the week,
business in the city was brisk, and in
the country the merchants report much
better times. This, it is conceded, is
due largely to the crop outlook, which
has not been better in this region
for years. Interest rates remain about
the same. General trade is expanding
along conservative lines.
The weeks clearings amounted to
s., 900, ,714,54, as against s6,II6,4s7Si
Tor the same period last year. The de.
crease, declare bankers, signifies only
that the total amount Of checks re-.
deemed through the local banking sys-
tenn was smaller than last year. On the
other hand, deposits are increasing and
local banks all have healthy reserve
funds, showing increasing trade and
sound money conditions.
From the east comes the report that
the wheat yield will be about 700 900.
goo bushels, as compared with 62l l,OoO,-
600 bushels for the preceding year. As
q result of this showing. decline of
IL cents bushel has taken place dur.
ing the past month. The corn and
cotton appear in q satisfactory condi-
tion, and the farmers. who must still
be considered the backbone Of the coun-
try are assured Of profitable har-
vest.
Foreign trade has reached the high
water mark, and the steel trade is
facing an unusually prosperous future.
Production Is running on record.
breaking scale. From all parts come
reports Of increasing confidence On the
part of business men. Preparations
are now being made for a good fall
and winter trade. Politics are much
less disturbing and there is an molina.
tion to sidetrack such issues as far as
possible.

Have Many Inquiries.

With the Smith Realty company,
dealers in Eastwood park and Holiday
subdivision property, the past week
brought more inquiries from local buy
ers than any other week this year.
The company sold nine lots in East

ing and several lots in Holiday, where
the completion Of the street car extern
sion has created live demand for
building lots

REPORT MANY SALES
IN SUBURBAN LOTS

Tho Hubbard Investment company
sold more than dozen lots in its sub
urban additions last week. Members of
the firm declare that tho market was
never better for tho disposal Of subur-
ban property and they see in the con-
tinued activity Of the past few weeks
a sure harbinger Of an unusually busy
fall season
The company sold three lots in East
Boulevard to William Hoffman of this
city, three in Oakley subdivision to
Trena Hollier of Bozeman, Mont, and
seven or eight in Douglas Park to local
investors. Aside from these the COM
pany has several deals in South State
street property under way, all involv-
ing values well In advance OF any prices
yet quoted in that territory.

pletion, which will place the business
on a basis from which the firm can
reach out after and readily secure the
increased business it deserves.
Milton f. Lipman, manager Of the
company, mas peen personally oSelsee, 4o
said that the firm intended to leave
nothing undone that would increase its
efficiency and business under the broad
plan of Improvement and operation
projected. The design for the new store
front has been specially prepared for
l.. & A. Cohn by Rice & Ellis, archi-
tects.
The firm was founded in 1896 by L.
and A. Cohn, who came here and en-
gagged prominently in business as early
as the '60s. Since that time the busi-
ness has progressed steadily, and the
present improvements are the result of
that increase and the sound condition

Growing Trade.

"The newly equipped store and ad.
ditional buildings are necessary to meet
the increased demands Of the bust
ness" said Manager Lipman. cat the
same time. the improvements are an
evidence of the advance of local retail
trade throughout the city, to say moth
ing of Main street centers. We will
be in excellent condition to serve our
patrons and meet an increased volume
of trade We will make a feature OF
our opening Oh the new basis, and ex-
poet the same loyal public support as
we have cnjoyed in the past. -
Mr.. Louis Cohn and Mr., Lipman are
now in the east, where they will pro-
cure stock shipments on a large scale
and inspect the systems and equipment
of the country's leading stores. These
modern ideas will doubtlessly be ap-
piled to advantage in connection with
the vast improvement plan Of the local
firm
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1912-07-28
Steady Improvement.

Lumber and cement dealers report a
steady improvement in their business,
due to the constantly increasing g
amount Of building being carried on in
the city. Sporting goods houses are
experiencing their very best season of
the year as result of the general ex-
odus Of vacationists to the mountains
and summer resorts, each taking with
him goodly supply of fishing tackle,
outing apparel and kindred appurten-
ances. Hardware trade continues good
for the same reason that affects the
lumber trade, Other lines are flourish
ing as well as can be expected during
the midsummer season

$4,000 each began last week in Douglas

MERCHANTS ENJOY
GOOD WEEKS TRADE
Business Stimulated by Bar
gain and Removal Sales and
Special Offerings.
CASH SALES INCREASE
Big Department Stores Pre-
pairing to Remove to New
Homes Sept. 4.
CASH SALES INCREASE

Merchants generally report salts
factory business during the last week,
based chiefly on the continuance of
midsummer bargains, removal sales,
and the like. There is little to differ,
entiate conditions from those of the
past few weeks, the same general ten
denotes being apparent.
AS the day draws near when the
two big department stores-Keith
o 'Brien's and Auerbsch 's-will pack
their duds and yafate their Mair
street quarters for their new homes at
Third South and State streets, spirit
is to be noted among merchants.
Ready to Move.
These two stores continue to lead
the van in the matter of summer sales
and to all reports are succeeding re
markably well in thinning out their
stocks for the transfer. The managers
Of both stores are still in the east
buying new stock and gathering new
ideas to be used in the opening of the
set for the removal though it is pos,
sible that several weeks delay may
ensue. At any rate, both companies
plan to occupy the new buildings in
time for a grand opening in the fall.
An encouraging result of the many
and prolonged sales now prevailing has
been the manner in which the public
has taken to cash buying. Cash re-
ceipts were larger last week in many
Of the stores than for several weeks
past.
