CONSTRUCTION FIRM
HAS MADE A RECORD
What Arizona Construction and Engi-
neering Company Has Done.

The big job" in connection with
the New York store building, oil course,
was the general contract, the building
of the building. This was done in d
highly creditable way by the Arizona
Construction and Engineering COM
pany of Mesa. This company has more
than once taken big jobs away from
big contractors in their home towns
and it has a big string of firstclass
jobs to its credit. This concern, of
which S. b. ShumWay is president and
NJ. r. Bowen secretary and treasurer,
was Incorporated in 1912, succeeding
the engineering and construction firm
of Bowen & Shumway, which since
1910 has been active in the local field.
Among their jobs in the Salt River
valley are the beautiful Columbia
theater in Phoenix, the girls domitOry
at the Tempe Normal school, the Meth
odist church at Mesa, the South Side
hospital, the reclamation construction
work of the Highline, Western and
Grand canals, also a mile of concrete
pavement on South Seventh avenue,
Phoenix. Among the work they have
under way at the present time are
the new dining hall at the state hos
pital and the Industrial Arts building
at Tempe.
Their general contract on the New
York store was for $4,000, and the
way in which the Job was handled
called forth a great deal of favorable
comment Work was started in Au-
