Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Herrck,
daughter Luella and son Burton ar
rived last week and may decide to
remain in Ashland. Mr.. Herrick
owns a residence on the Boulevard.

pleased with Improvements made
here and stated that although he had
been over the coast states and large
portion of the east he failed to find
a place which suited him better than

ditions here are better than in al
most any section of the country and
the equal of any section, was Mr.
Herrick's opinion.
