 As quickly as word could be sent to

 company were bringing up gravel, and
 to the Jefferson street job where loads
 of not mixture were being delivered
 the big wagons of the company, to
 which were attached heavy teams of
 mules were sent on the dead run to
 the scene. Men were quickly placed at work filling these wagons with dry
 sand and the progress of the flowing ! material was effectually stopped by dumping the sand along the edge of the spreading substance.
 When the pool began to form behind
 the cement barrier, the men faced the i intense heat and began throwing sand upon the material. In this manner the l flames were slowly but surely beaten | back. The work was made more diff 1 ficult because of the great pail of
 smoke and because of shifting winds which drove the smoke into the faces of the men and threatened to suffo- cate them. All of last night the
 smoke continued to rise from the slow | ly cooling material and will probably | continue throughout today.
 | The effect of the fire of yesterday will be to delay the work on the Jef- | ferson street paving for perhaps one week. The company has a very COM plete plant at Bisbee from which it can readily draw such parts of equip ment as are necessary and carpenters can do the rest. It is believed that one
 week will be sufficint time in which to again place the plant in good working order

Does Advertising Pay?

m And, like many others, you might say: "The VI proof of the pudding is in the eating The proof of the pudding in the case of the Real Estate firm of MURPHY & IRWIN the wonderful sales record of their BELLA VISTA PLACE sub division. A subdivision practically all sold out within the short period of months.
 m This was the fastest selling addition ever 4 opened in Phoenix; and it was sold on JEFFREY SERVICE. MURPHY IRWIN say so; they say that ''The JEFFREY AGENCY was largely instrumental in the quick selling of their subdivision" It paid them to advertise; to use the services of an Advertising Agency applying the sci entific principles of salesmanship.
 m This is but one more proof that JEFFREY Q SERVICE can make your advertising pay Can you afford to advertise at expense to your business; charge the debit side of your ledger hard earned dollars and cents that should really be large factor in meeting competition? It is our business to make your advertising pay-get you results. May we call and submit further proof?
