 NOW IN LUHRS
 NEW BUILDING
\. Porter Harness < Sad dle Company Takes Week to Move, But Now Has Finest Establishment of Kind in Arizona

event when concern moves into a just completed building as it is when a new building is about to be started. In some respects this is true of the removal of the N. Porter Harness and Saddle company from the location it | occupied for so many years on West | Washington street. to the new Luhrs building South Central avenue and Madison street. For nearly week wagon load after wagon load and truck load after truck load of harnesses, saddles and other goods passed from the old location to the new, while fore es of men were engaged at both places in loading and unloading the thous- ands of dollars worth of stock carried i | by the concern.
 Then from the freight houses other l wagon loads of new goods were being !
 sent to the new store until it seemed |
 that the same congested condition
 must obtain in the companys new home as marked the fast few years
 occupancy of the Washington street
 site
 But despite the increased stock pro- vided, ample room was found for dis play or storing away for future needs.
 And when it was finally decided that | everything was com-lete and that nor
 maj conditions had been produced, it
 was found that there was a place for
 everything and that everything was in
 it's place.
 A visit to the new establishment is
 well worth while, even if present needs
 do not call for the purchase of any of
 the great variety of goods carried. As
 one approaches the handsome new
 building he is struck by the stability of ) the new Luhrs building. Quincy gran $ te surmounted by white glazed tiling form a most pleasing exterior There
 are ample display windows. the wood
 work being finished in fumed oak and
 presenting a rich appearance Sur
 mounting the window display rooms, : are prism and art glass windows ad- hitting an abundance of light to the interior without robbing the front of
 show space.
 In the interior there are no end of f attractive details In the center of | the big store is constructed the office where the accounting and correspond | ence is taken care of. On all sides hang | harness, saddles, whips, robes and kindred articles in profusion In the
 rear is the heavy repair department, | while upon the meZZanaine floor eX- | tending along the entire southern side of the room is the harness and saddle making department. All these depart
 ments have an abundance of light
 making the work rooms bright and | cheery.
 There is ample basement space and
 a broad drive way up tC sliding doors
 on the north side where stock is re-
 ceived and dispatched. Taken all in all the new home of the N Porter Harness and Saddle com
 pany. is probably the finest of the kind to be found in Arizona if not in the en- tire southwest.
 Just south of the Luhrs building the Il Pratt Gilbert building is now being | carried rapidly to completion. East and north of the Luhrs building the Salim Ackel building already begins to give a pretty good idea of what the com pieted structure will look like North of the Luhrs building, is the half city block recently rid of an unsightly corral and which is it expected will one day
 be covered with a handsome six or seven story steel hotel structure A glance at the permits issued the past few days shows that many new l. residences are about to be started or are probably already under way. The | most important permit issued recently | is that for the concrete fireproof build ing to be used as home and dormitory | for the nurses at St. Josephs hospital The building will cost s11 900 and is to be erected by T. J. Mahoney, contrac- tor
