SCHOOL REPAIRS

Between $500 and 81 700 is be-
ing spent this year by the school
board in repairing the Grand juno
ton city schools and placing them
in spick and span shape for the com

buildings We're in bad shape several
minor repairs were necessary to each
and the aggregate amount will be
close to the amount mentioned.
The principal repairs are being
made to the Lowell building where
the plaster was in bad shape and
needed renewing. At the Emerson,
the entrances were raised one foot
and entire new concrete steps made.
The Riverside school has been paint
ed and generally repaired and the
franklin has been supplied with new
iron sheeting and some cement work
constructed. The high school and
Hawthorne have underwent minor
repairs.
When school opens this fall the To-
cal buildings will be in the best

Why use Miller's candy in preference
to out-of-town sweets?
The first question one would
naturally ask is:
Can Miller deliver the goods?"
Well, we know his candies can be
had the very day they are made-so
they are perfectly fresh-and that
means We can have them with all
their original flavor and delicacy
irtact--just as they were the minute
they LEFT the kitchen.
Miller's is a home candy made for
home people. No hardening process
in the making to insure their being
successfully shipped great distances.
We get them in all their delicious
melting creaminess just as they
should be.
If you won't listen to reason
then prove to your own satisfaction
that Miller's CONNECTIONS are quality
CONNECTIONS.
Buy box of shipped-in candy.
Eat it-every morsel-then go into
Miller's and sample his sweets.
Which product Just melts in your
mouth? Which tastes and looks as
though made by fairy fingers? Which
has all the flavor of Colorado sun
mountain water
and crystal-clear air combined? Why
Miller's. of course. You can tell it
with your eyes shut.
Then, are his candies made under
sanitary conditions? Mr.. Miller will
always show his establishment and
after going the rounds one can en-
JOY to the utmost his sweets, know
ing their deliciousness is due. not
alone to greatest skill, the use of the
very best ingredients and ceaseless
care and pride in the making of an
unexcelled product, but also to abso-
lutte cleanliness.
What do we know about the con-
ditions under which shippedin can
dy is made?
Then. as a matter of economy.
with all their dainty freshness and
unexcelled quality. Miller's cadies are
no more expensive than the shipped
in product.
And. too. Mr. Miller uses all the
home products possible in the max
ing of his candies.
So be good to yourself and eat
Miller's candies.
