HAS HAD RAPID GROWTH
Western Auto Company Featuring the
Ford Cars.

Among the pioneer automobile firms
of the city and one that has kept pace
in every way with it's growth is the
Western Auto company, which is To-
Gated today in a handsome brick fire
proof building and is handling a large
amount of the automobile business of
the city. Starting in little room on
Shoshone street north, now occupied
by another business, the Western Au-
to company began the erection of a
sheet steel and concrete building on
the same street but nearer the rail-
road station. In this building, under
the direction of Hall e Belleville and
later l.. A. Burson, the company began
building up business which has con-
tinually increased
In October, 1912, the business was
purchased by group of business men
and shortly after incorporated with
George R. Easeley as manager. In the
spring of the next year the company
moved to its present commodous
quarters and blossomed out as the
Ford agency.
While catering to a large extent in
its completely equipped repair shop to
the ills of the Fords, the competent
and skillful mechanics have establish
ed reputation for mending almost
any member of the auto family and the
business of the firm has grown by
leaps and bounds.
Many Fords have come and gone
through the Western Auto companys
selling force, only to have their places
taken by more Fords until on any road
in the Twin Falls country, you will
feel lonesome without seeing the busy
little cars running along neck and
neck with the bigger and higher pric-
ed machines.
Coupled with the repair service and
the selling force this firm has assemb-
led in their stock rooms, parts enough
to rebuild any one of Henry Fords
pets, while the stock of tires and ac-
cessorfes runs into the thousands OF
dollars. Service is the motto OF this
firm and Manager Easley is fast
spreading his slogan of service to the
branch agencies which he has estab-
lished In the surrounding towns Ford
service is everywhere for the Ford
owners of Twin Falls county.

GROWN UP WITH THE COUNTRY
Twin Falls Sash a. Door Company the
First i'm Field.

Probably the very first of the infant
industries to invade the new irrigat-
cd territory opened ten years ago in
the Twin Falls country, was the plan
ing mill and sash and door factory,
established by Adams & Pilgerrim,
experienced mill men from Oregon,
VINO were attracted to the new Idaho
metropolis very early in the history of
.4e city. A very substantial mill and
lumber yard was their contribution to
the busting little city and in the early
days the firm played very impor-
tant part in the upgrowth of the city
by the speedy delivery of mill work
to keep pace with the demands made
upon it by the rushing in of hundreds
in day. And through it all the firm
kept up the sam high standard of
workmanship which is today making
concerns.
In 1912 the senior member of the
firm, George Adams, retired and Mr..
Pilgerrim incorporated the business as
the Twin Falls Sash and Door COM
pany and broadened it's scope of en-
deavor by putting man on the road to
push new lines produced in the plant
for the first time. Boxes for the fruit
growers of the tract was the aim of
Mr.. Pilgerrim who placed expensive
machinery for that purpose. Each year
is seeing larger number of loyal Twin
Falls fruit growers place their orders
with home concern, but still the big
plant can care for great many more
The manufacture of bee hives was al
so attempted about this time and to-
day forms very important part of the
output of the mill.
Something of the growth Of the bust
ness can be realized when from four
man plant in 1905, the present force
includes fifteen men and distributes a
payroll each month of approximately
$11On Over six hundred thousand feet
of lumber is converted into the
finished products in this mill every
year Mr.. Pilgerrim has had faith ir
the Twin Falls tract and invested
every dollars in putting out Twin Fall.

ed With City.

In the days when the sun beat down
with pitiless persistence upon the dust
and sage brush and ditch water, until
tered and bearing the filth of the new
canals was the beverage of the set
tiers, a serious problem confronted
the community. Sick men were not
wanted in the crowded rooming houses
and hotels. There was no place to put
short of Boise or Salt Lake City. To
supply the needed hospital the ener-
gies of Dr. Il. o. Boyd were directed
with the result that in 1905, the Twin
Falls hospital became one of the reg
ular institutions of the tract, first be-
ing located in small frame structure.
Later a slightly larger frame building
took care of the invalids. In 1907 the
roomier quarters in the present Boyd
block gave relief for a short time from
the crowded conditions. But through
it all was the purpose of DR.. Boyd to
have modern up, to-date hospital
which should be credit to the city. So
year later plans were gotten out for
the main building of the present hand
some structure and it was pushed to
completion.
From all up and down the Twin
Falls branch railroad patients came
in, hnt ch
until the increased patronage demand
ed first one wing and then the other
until the present substantial structure
resulted through the energy of one
man.
Today the Twin Falls hospital has a
capacity of thirty patients and 1t is
obliged most of the time to hold back
patients until a room is emptied. It's
reputation has been built up through
the efforts Of splendid staff of nine
consulting specialists and physicians,
who are capable Of giving service
equal to that of many larger cities.
It's operating room has witnessed an
average of one major operation per
day for the past two years and the
number of recoveries on an average
are higher than for many large hos
pitfalls.
In connection with the hospital is
maintained a perfectly equipped x
Ray machine and Flourescope with
which DR.. Boyd has been able to do
some wonderful work in repairing diff
ficult fractures and dislocations, as

to the table and sat down to look them
over.

Bates to come over and look at the

The grocer's boy deposited dollars
worth Of sugar on the floor and Emmy
took 1t up and put it in the sugar pail
on the lower pantry shelf.
"You really shouldn't" said her hus-
band.
Finally she lugged the iron preserve
kettle to the sink for the last time and
went out for another pail of water.
Il hate to see you lift so, Emmy.
My, how many glasses have you got?
It's my favorite jam. I'll get you a
case of cherries tomorrow"
Emmy went on getting up a hearty

there are GA hours to the day. S,670

average of 600 hours a year, the
schools about 1900 hours, the aver
age factory about 2,400 hours, and
the average business concern about
$500 hours. while the saloon and

One out of every ten people a

corning Cook county, Illinois, OF

In the annual report of the president
Of the board of county commissioners.
During last Jear the number helped
was 100000, the chief cause of need
in 5000 of these cases being reported
as unemployment. The close connec-
ton between the 1000 saloons OF
Chicago and the burden Of pauperism
Is easily seen. Any business man
accustomed to employ labor could
make e telerabiy accurate conjecture
that fully two-thirds of the men who
cannot in ordinary times secure EN-
ployment are unreliable and undesir-
able as workmen because of their In.
diligence in liquor.
And the men and women who each
year dig deep into their pockets for
the taxes necessary to care for these

citizens, are in a majority of cases
