.no citv of Glendive is just
lD', ,ou,ng greatest evidence OF its
WV .,.avide reputation for prosperity
'A' .o,tb is seen by the number
'.I '.5 variety of buildings that nave
'Du ootod or are now in the course
d construction. ,,o
are planned to be ready for occupancy
's,. as fall nearly half of the number be-
ing now occupied or shortly will BE-
az ~ r perham. the local contractor,
aid that never before within his
s.n,0dge ,. has so many new buildings
t4er planned and erected as Will De
within the present year.
Contractors are Kept Busy
Tho local contractors, besides Mr..
perham, who are doing nearly all the
obstruction work this year are
c,Aloss & Ullman, VIM. McAnally,
Pircb & Greb, ]. R. Sawyer and John
Holm, and they have hardly expert
spced the loss of day since the thaW-
jpg of the ground early this spring.
THAT this is true is shown by the fact
that there has not been a carpenter
out of work in the city so far this
year, the contractors, on the other
hand, being often at a loss to secure
sufficient men to complete contracts
by the time specified.
Building Activity on South Side
Schloss & Ullman recently complet-
ed the large hall and store building
on Sargent avenue at an approximate
cost of $4,000. This is the structure
which is now being occupied by the
South Side Social club. .-,.---.--

three residences in that part of town,
the names of the prospective Occu-

On this side of the track, the build

oence. The new residence of David
