LOUIS GARESCHE
 BRANCHES OUT.
Resigns as Arizona Man. ager for Armour & Co.,, to Take Over Rapidly Growing Mercantile Busi- ness i'll Arlington

Louis Garesche is no longer the Ham What Am" man, but is now the Man What Am" Known all over Arizona for years as the genial and competent state manager of Armour & Co. with headquarters at Phoenix, Garesche has resigned his position here and has purchased the general store of c. w. Peterson. at Arlington. He will take up his residence at Ar lington immediately to take charge of his new venture which is one of the best established and most rapidly growing mercantile businesses operat- ing outside of the larger cities of Ari- zona. And incidentally Phoenix loses one of it's best citizens and man who Gas much as any other has done more to place Phoenix upon the map while boosting the business with which he is connected
 But there are few losses that do not have their compensations. While Phoenix loses Garesche, she gains the citizenship of Peterson, who for ten years has been storekeeper and post master at Arlington, and who in the trade secured Mir. Garesche's home in West Capitol addition in this city. MT. Peterson is bringing his family to Phoenix. one of the chief reasons for the desire to have a residence here being to enable him to give his five growing children the advantages of the fine school system in this city. MT. ePterson has retained his large land and cattle interests in and near Arlington and will spend some of his time there looking after them.
 Louis Garesche came to Phoenix in October. 1909, from Denver. In ten years he has risen from q position of obscurity to that ofs one of the best known business men of the south west. He has earned an enviable reputation for business ability and in tegrity in the years he has spent as chief booster in Arizona for Armour X Co. The first three years he spent as salesman in Arizona, the business being handled from Trinidad. Colo. which was the nearest branch house. The company's business increased 1900 per cent in that period and early in 1907 a branch house with offices at 42 South Central avenue was es- tablished in Phoenix.
 This gave another impetus to the business and with Mr Garesches hustling methods and the remarkable increase in population that has been experienced in Arizona in the past five years, the business increased in that period another five hundred per cent As d result Phoenix saw in 1912 the construction and opening of a fine warehouse and office building for Armour x Co. which cost $40. O0O and which is one of the best buildings in the rapidly developing warehouse districts along Jackson street.
 Mir Garesche is succeeded here by L. J. Chapman. a man who has been connected with the Armour concern for several years, coming here from Colorado
 Arlington is located on the ocean, to-ocean highway and fs a favorite stopping place for automobile tourists in riding to and from the coast. MT. Garesche has many plans for the inn provement of the store and the in creasing of his already large stock. 1 He is certain that some day Arlington will be upon the main line of a trans continental railroad. The lower Buck l eye valley and the Arlington valley | have each developed wonderfully the 1 past few years and form collectively | one of the liveliest and most prosper | ous sections of Arizona. The Airing l ton store draws trade from a large | radius and is trading headquarters for l many of the big range, ranch and l mining outfits
