The Model has built a minia-

what the real factory might re-
semble and everyone is saying
We've got to hand it to Mr..
Boretz as an original advertis-

on a miniature scale to represent
a brick building 200 feet long by
rs feet wide. The bricks are
marked off perfectly and gray
ell roof sloping from front to rear
gives the building finished ap-
pearance. The front and sides
are finished with doors and win
dows which at night are illumin.
ated in realistic fashion. The
grounds in front are sand and
gravel, and auto trucks are to be
seen loaded with tires, hurrying
to make deliveries. Roy Frank,
Mr.. Boretz's brother-in-law, is
the artist who did the painting,
being now employed at the Mod

ly in the minority and when a
motion was made to accept the
committees report nearly all in
the house stood up. Following
this a motion was made and see
onded to continue the committee
with full power to act and with
instructions to devise ways and
means and select site and to
proceed to erect a building. This
motion carried in the same man
ner. However, Mr.. Hurst re-
fused to serve on the committee
altho he was urged to do so.
Next day President Juchem
appointed A. J.. Davis in place
of Mr.. Hurst, and the committee
organized with j. F. White chair
man, Chas. McFadden secretary
and A. L. Davis treasurer. The
committee is now ready to re-
ceive subscriptions for stock, al
so propositions for factory site.
Going back to the deliberations
of the meeting a resolution was
introduced and almost unani-
mously adopted as follows:
Resolved, that we, as mem
bers Of the Arvada Commercial
club and as citizens of Arvada
do hereby agree to boost for this
factory and that we most hearth
ly indorse the report of the COM
mittee and will give them our
our unqualified support. "
On hearing the result of the
meeting MIR. Clark, president OF
the new company came 10 Arva-
da to congratulate the members
of the committee and was very
much elated. He says there will
be no difficulty in raising the
money to finance the company
and that he will come right on
the ground and aid the local COM
mittee in every way possible.
1t is a mistake that ! am on
ly a promoter of this company
and will sell my stock and get
out as soon as the factory is in
operation" said Mr.. Clark to
the Enterprise man, Tuesday.
Il expect to come right here
and be one of you and to de-
vote my entire time to this en-
terprise and will bring others
with me who will do likewise. "
MIR. Clark is very enthusiastic
and thinks he sees a great future
for Arvada by an increase in pop
ulation and big boom in real es-
tate.
The contemplation Of a fact
cry such as is proposed is GER
tainly very inspiring and we are
assured by MI. Clark that the
money for equipping the plant
will be deposited in the Arvada
banks long before the building is
up. The further we go into the
proposition the better it looks if
we can believe those who are
back Of the enterprise.

day evening to hear the report of
the investigation committee on
the Dry Climate Auto Tire COM
pany. President Juchem of the
Arvada Commercial club, called
the meeting to order.
Only three members of the
committee were present, j. F.
White, chairman. and Mayor
Chas. McFadden and T. C.
Hurst. DR.. Foster could not be
present and Hon. Wesley Staley
was in the midst of a legislative
caucus at the Capitol and had
telephoned Mr.. White asking
him to say that he considered
the proposition all right and was
anxious to see the matter pushed.
He said he would do his part,
taking a portion of the stock.
However, he appeared later in
the evening and spoke enthusiast
tically for himself, basing his re-
marks upon what he had learned
of Mr.. Clark, the president and
promoter of the company, from
bankers in Denver.
]. F. White, as spokesman for
the committee latter explaining
that DR.. Foster, while unable to
60 with the committee on invest
igation had attended the commit
tee meeting and said he was sat-
isfied it was all right launched
out on his report.
The comittee had made inqui-
ries collectively and individually.
They found the president in the
offices of the company, had look
ed over their books and found
that q manager had been elected
and given 5000 shares bonus to
leave his present Job and come
with them. The president re-
tains Is, 200 shares, and there
were other holdings amounting
In all to about $1,000 shares,
some of which had been sold far
below par to obtain money for
experimental purposes and 9TH
er incidental expenses. all told
about $1,000. The company is
free from debt and only $3.50
worth of treasury stock had been
sold.
The concrete proposition is for
Arvada to give the site and erect
q suitable building. of brick. 200
feet long by rs feet wide, to cost
approximately $4,000. The COM
pany in the meantime will furn-
ish the money to equip the build.
ing with the necessary machin-
cry and put the plant into opera
ton. Inasmuch as no commiss-
ions will be paid on the stock
subscribed to the building fund
It will be sold at Soc per share,
par value $l.OO. In other words
each subscriber of $l.00 will get
two shares of stock. up until
sufficient funds for the building
have been raised.
The money transactions are all
to be made thru the local banks
and the local stockholders are to
elect permanent secretary and
two directors of the company,
Mr.. Hurst was not enthusiast
tic over the matter. in fact he
was inclined to discredit the
whole proposition. saying that he
considered it poor business. He
thought 5000 shares too much of
q bonus to pay the manager and
did not think 1t fair to sell any Of
the stock any cheaper than the
rest. He didn't think the project
would amount to anything. Mr.
Cones was of the same opinion,
and there were. of course, others
In the audience who were inclin-
ed to oppose the proposition.
Nevertheless they were great

OTTO JORDAN MAY CAPTAIN ATLANTA Rumor Says That Charley Frank Wants Field
 Pilot

The following bit of sporting gossip was nipped from the columns of the Atlanta Constitution:
 A story was printed sometime ago that Charley Frank and Otto Jordan had buried the hatchet. through the efforts of local fan On the surface this was all that was apparent. but there was an un- derlying meaning.
 ''The Constitution now gets it pretty straight that Cap Otto is going to play second base and captain the Crackers in 1916; in other worlds be Charley Frank s representative on the playing field.
 This report comes from such reliable source that much credence is placed in same Manager Frank not being in the city and MT. Jordan living on the out skirts of the city. where he could not be reached, official verification of the re- port could not be secured
 This report lends credence to another thing, and that is that Manager Frank is planning to have kid infield next season at third, short. and first, and that he wants Jordan's steadying hand and head to keep the youngsters on the ground in the hot pennant fight.
 When Manager Frank returns to the city, he'll probably have considerable baseball news to give out.

 Preparing

In anticipation of having the hardest struggle of the season in their game against Docena at Redwood park next saturday, the Edgewater soccer football team has begun a week of hard training in order to be in the very best condi- ton. The prospects of winning the Ram say cup are exceedingly bright from the showing the team has made in the pa st few games.
 The team has been greatly strengthened in the acquisition of Frank Neil, the former star goal keeper of Wylam, who has been proclaimed the best goal keeper in the league.
 Williams and Johnston on the fullback are practically new men in the game, but have demonstrated that they are capable of defending their goal
 The halfback positions are well taken care of in G. GuthMe, A. Brown and John Stewart, who are considered the peers of the league. This is Guthrie $ first year in the league, and his playing has elicited applause from the fans Stewart and A. Brown are veterans Of the game, and their abilities are well known to the followers of the game
 The forwards, George Brown, Joe Jeff fries, H. Guthrie, Murigan and J. Brown, Jr., are all fast men and will be a source of worry to the opposing back
 From the above the friends and SUD- porters of Edgewater can rest assured that fast and furious game will be played by their team.
