HOFFMAN BROTHERS
TO ERECT HOMES

Contracts were closed Saturday by
officers of Hoffman Bros. Loan & Trust
company for the erection of several
new homes in Marlborough Place, the
attractive new subdivision opened by
the rm this summer at Ninth East and
Tenth South streets,
Building activity IN Marlborough
Place has exceeded even the expecta-
tions Of the owners Of the tract and the
property holders who have purchased
building sites there Several houses
arc already under way and within thirty
days seven more new homes will be
started. All of the new houses for
Marlborough Place are of the cottage
and bungalow type and some unusually
attractive designs are being featured.
Every advantage has been taken by
the builders in making their houses con-
form to the surroundings of Marlbor-
ough Place, Great, shady avenues sur
round the tract and with Ninth East
as the eastern boundary of the prop
erty the district is already one Of the
most exclusive residence sections of the
city.
PRESIDENT r. c.. Hoffman has been
very busy the past week closing up
numerous sales of lots in Marlborough
Place, on practically all of which new
houses are to be erected this fall by

Business Increasing.

II Is not necessary for us to enlarge
on such reports as these We believe
no sensible man could be a bear
on the intermountafn empire after
reading them. When II is remem-
bered that the last few years. with
which these comparisons were made,
have consistently shown gains, one
after another, 1t will be realized that
almost every report quoted indicates
the highest point yet attained.
We do wish, though, to call atten-
ton TO the fact that everywhere
there Is q sharp increase IN hog raising
and dairying. This Is not one-crop
country by any means. and farmers
are taking advantage Of their oppor-
tunitfes. We wish we could take the
average traveller who has conceived
of this as a serni-desert country over
some of the fertile fields and mead
ows that surpass those OF Illinois or
Iowa which are in many cases en-
tirely unirrigated. and which in many
cases were in sagebrush q very few
wears ago. He would be forever con-
vnced OF what we know TO be the
fact. namely, that this is not primari-
ly mining or stock-raising country,
but an agricultural country OF the
richest type. 1t is rapidly being popu-
lated with settlers from the Missis-
sippI valley, who have already dis
covered this fact for themselves.
We would like to have been able TO
quote the reports In full, or TO at
least have given excerpts from all
of them However. we shall be very
glad to give detailed Information TO
anyone who desires IT.

the store was filed with delighted shop

thrown open until the time for closing,

pleased over the big crowds that
thronged the establishment. The first
days purchases far exceeded the most
sanguine hopes Of the proprietors. Since
the opening the new store has been
daily packed both with sightseers and
customers. Under orders Of the man

Excellently Lighted.
A special feature In connection with
the Boston store is the fact that 1t Is
light In every department, the ceiling
and walls being abundantly furnished
with windows and skybghts. No ar
tifcial light whatsoever is necessary in
the daytime, which is a great benefit
TO the customers. An elevator runs
from the millinery department to the
basement, and on the south side is a
winding stairway which makes it easy
for visitors, who do not care TO ride,
to walk up and down with little exer
ton. The fixtures throughout are of
beautifully polished mahogany and the
aisles arc exceptionally wide and spa
cious, The display cases as we'll as
