HOTEL FRANKLIN DINING ROOM
Mr. and Mrs StoueIl. ProprietorS

WI anu NIo. ShoNS'' ''op' 'SNo'o .
A large portion of the public of El
Centre were delighted when Mr.. and
Mrs. Stovell, who formerly conducted
the Franklin Hotel Dining Room, de-
cided to return from Los Angeles the
first of April and reopen their old es-
tablishment Their return to the val
ley meant a good place to eat, and, as
everybody enjoys a good meal, they
were given an unusually cordial wei
come upon their return.
The reopening of the Franklin Ho-
tel Dining Room by Mr.. and Mrs. Sto-
veil was not like starting a new place
in a new and strange city. They had
made their reputation as caterers in
El Centre and the mere announcement
that they would again assume charge
of their old stand was a signal for a
long line of patronage to waiting for
the doors to open.
BY giving the best service, serving
the best food after the most care
full preparation, and being prompt and
accommodating, the prOprietOrs of this
excellent restaurant gained such an
enviable reputation and it was prop
crly due them that they should have
been given such Il splendid and mate
rial reception in the way of patronage
when they returned to El Centro.

Ell CENTRIC MUSIC COMPANY
W. T. lageett, Prop.

Rarely does one find a music store
with complete line of pianos and
musical instruments and all the latest
music on hand in a place the size OF
FL CentrO, but Mr.. W. T. Laggett
proprietor of the Ell Centro Music com
pany. has provided just such an estah.
lishment for the benefit of this com
munity. Undoubtedly a store of this
kind could not exist in less thriv-
ing and prosperous community, SO il
reflects great credit upon this parti
cular district, in that it demonstrates
the enterprise and progressiveness to
be found in this section of the I'M
perial valley.
Mr.. Laggett is an energetic young
man who thoroughly understands the
music store business and saw a splen-
did opportunity in Ell Centro for such
Il store as he has established. That
was TWO years ago and the extensive
patronage he now enjoys indicates be-
EOnd question that he has satisfactOr-
lily supplied this much needed acqui-
sltion 10 the community
In addition to the large stock of pi-
amos in which the Star piano is speci-
ally conspicuous and the up-tO-date
vocal and instrumental music in the
cases, Mr. l4aggett carries d full line
Edison monographs and records, vio-
linS and other instruments. Person
ally he is popular in both the business
and social circles of this city and has
contributed his portion to the general
business enterprise that makes Ell
Centre prominent in the state of Cal

Veterinary Surueon

In this day and age live stock are
not neglected. The farmers have rec
ogniZed the fact that ii is as neces-
sary to keep their horses and cattle
healthy as il is to preserve their own
health, and, to meet this necessity,
The veterinary surgeon has come to
play an important part in the welfare
Of community. The progress farm
ers look upon him with the same re
Spect and place the some amount of de-
pendance upon him as they do their
family physician. Particularly is this
true in the Imperial valley, where the
farmers are noted for thrift and enter
prise and pride themselves upon hav-
ing the finest live stock in the state.
To maintai this high standard for
their stock the veterinary surgeon is
very essential and the stock raisers of
this community have come to look up
on DR.. V. f. Cram, a graduate of vet
erinary of the Colorado State College,
as their friend in need and reliable
assistant. Dr. Cram has Offices in the
Depot Stables at FL Centre and dur
ing the two years he has been located
in this city he has built up large
and extensive practice by his skillful
treatment of all kinds of animal dis
eases and ailments. He is progress
i've young man, who thoroughly under
stands horses and cattle as we'll as his
profession, and personally enjoys the
high esteem of all who know him by
acquaintance or reputation.

VALLEY SHOE STORE
p. T. Cunningham, Prop.

There is no line of goods for which
there is more extensive and exacting
demand in Imperial valley than shoes,
and owing to the nature of weather
conditions, shoes form an essential
part of this widespread reQuiSitiOn,
while the trade also embraces special
ties of footwear through the country,
and in order to meet all demands of
the trade, the Valley Shoe Store in
El Centre, which is the only eXclI-
sive shoe house in the valley, has
maintained for the past four years a
complete boot and shoe house for the
retail trade, representing the most
noted manufacturers and embracing
everything of common and special
footwear in this country. In this line
of business the Valley Shoe Store IS
one of the most credible concerns in
southern California.
This concern makes a speciality OF
the Douglas and Crawford shoes for
men and John Kelly shoes for ladies',
together with a full line of everything
in great variety and styles and ma
terial for boys, Misses, children and
infants with accompanying variations
in price In their trade they cover
practically all of the Imperial valley,
for our people have learned that here
Won can buy the best and that YOU
will get full value for your money.
The goods handled by this house are
suitable to all classes of wearers, and
it has become a popular and widely
known source of supply to the retail
trade
In connection with the shoe depart
ment, there is also shoe repair shop
where only first class men are en-
Gagged and the best class OF repair
work turned out.
Mr.. p. Z. Cunningham, the genial

ley and after having experience in
other locations, proclaim Dixieland as
the center OF the Cotton Belt of Cal
much as TWO and half bales TO the
acre, although in large fields it viii
not amount TO as high an average as
this.
Mr.. Mcdonald has planted 32O acres
and has averaged over bale and a
half to the acre, which is considered
a wonderful record for as large a
field. Mr. Slaughter, Supervisor Ben
nett and Mr.. Jernigan have also this
same record TO boast of, and their
1000 acres.
No cotton grow er in the valley has
contributed so much information re
garding this culture as has Mr. Nc
Donald. Views OF his fields and their
production have been reproduced iii
some of the leading magazines Of the
country. This issue, as well as the

J. |. TRAVERS,

"The Pioneer" Contracttr and Builder
Men are rightly Judged by their
deeds, by the character of the work
they perform, by the sincerity of their
purpose, by the sterling qualities that
come to the surface through intimate
and long acquaintance. 1t is a cruci-
al test to apply, but 1t is the only cor
rect one, and the man who comes
through it with credit to himself j:

termine who would stand Longest III
applying this test to the many Nor
who have done much toward the vi
building of the Imperial valley. J. L.
Travers, the pioneer contractor Of FL
Centre, would probably remain OH the
stage, for the entire valley looks up-
on him as the man who has dom more
to build it up, contributed the great
est amount of energy and talent to
force the old Colorado desert into a
land flowing with rich vegetation and
beautiful homes and metropolitan
business blocks, and abounding in
prosperity. than all other contractor"
and builders combined. Mr.. TraverS
is man who does things. He doesn't
talk much. but when he is in action,
which is more nearly eighteen hours
a day than eight, no works are need
ed TO acclaim his deeds. The hand
some structures that line the main
,horoughiares of El Centro and the
beautiful homes that adorn the resi-
Dental district are the monuments TO
this man who does things
Mr.. TraVers was a member or the
firm OF Fairchilds & Travers, contrac-
tors and builders of Redlands, tor a
number of years prior to coming to
the Imperial valley. Mr.. W. F. Bill,
the original owner of the townsite OF
El Centro. knew Mr.. Iravers and his
works and brought him to the valley
seven years ago. Ii was Redlands
less and the Imperial valleys gain, for
he works of Mr.. Travers had the Ell
feet of keeping him here. In TACT
when he started there has never been
a chance for him to get away for he
has been deluged with demands ever

from San Bernardino two years ago
and soon established himself as 4
leading architect as well as popular

as an architect had preceded him TO
Ell Centre, as he had been architect
for twelve years for the Santa Fa
railroad, with headquarters in San
Bernardinc, and came into promi-
nence in the southwest when he sup
ton Of the Santa Fe wharf at San
Diego. 1t goes without saying that

dences and business houses in the

BY combining the real estate busi-
ness with his accomplished vocation
he became even more valuable to the
community in it's upbuilding, and his
capacity to advance the progress of
this section of the state of California
has been demonstrated in more ways
than one. His offices are located in
