 GASS BROS. CHOP HOUSE THROWS DOORS OPEN

Flowers in peofusion. a profusiOn that threatened to overshadow the beauties of the interior, merry crowd, iostlins this way or edging that A smiling proprietor and a score of hurrying walters. And above all an air of completeness and luxuri- ousness that it would be in vain to attempt to describe. That was the scene yesterday afternoon and last evening when the doors of the new Gass Bros. Chop House were formal ly thrown open and the people of Phoenix were the invited guests of Leon R. Class, the proprietor and of his brothers who are in one way or another associated with him in the conduct of the best equipped and most modern eating house in the south west
 And the thousands who accepted the invitation not only were surprised and pleased with what they saw but were sent away with good taste in their mouths" for as dainty a lunch con as ever graced the table of the most select afternoon social function. was served to all. Hundreds who were personally acquainted with the Class brothers. renewed their acquaint- ance and wished them prosperity and success and other hundreds found themselves for the first time shaking hands With one or more members of the family that in Phoenix conjures mp visions of good things to eat and the daintiest of places in which to eat them.
 Like Phoenix rising from the ashes, the Class Bros. Chop House today stands greater. grander and better than ever. More room, more equip ment and more employees combine to eclipse the establishment put out of business by the fire of November. The only way in which one can compre- bend the completeness of the recon structed Chop House is through personal visit and to the world an invitation is always open for such a visit The new bigger and better than ever Gass Bros Chop House is To- cated on the same site as the for mer one which was destroyed bv fire on the 16th day of November last.
 
 been rcfitted and was considered a model for public eating houses the new place possesses many advantages Tn equipment over the old place. The proprietor has spared neither ex- rense nor labor to make it the very best that can be produced for the accommodation of the eating public. It is the very last word in modern equipment. When the dcors are thrown open on Saturday evening for the public it will represent an expenditure of not less than $2G,O00 showing the un- bounded faith which it's pro2rieto: has in the future of this city and valley. Not oniy is the equipment more elaborate than that of the former place but considerable additional room has been secured in the dining room and kitchen through the re- moval of the boot black stand which formerly adjoincd it. In the base lnent much more room has been ac- quired, the space there being more than double that of it's former ca = pacity. The equipment is not only more complete and elaborate out is also more modern in it's construction. The general plan in it's reconstruc- ton has been fold. First to secure the most sanitary furnishing that can be had any place. Second, convenience for performing the work. and an inspection of the place will convince any one that both objects have been wonderfully achieved.
 The cooling devices, or refrigera- tors are of the very latest designs anc food can be stored in them for weeks without any deterioration, so perfect are they. Not only is the atmosphere maintained at low tenn perature, but the interior is perfectly dry and free from all moisture something which is not always ob- tainable in ordinary refrigerators, and which prevents mold or decay of their contents.
 Supplies of all kinds, including the fuel, are stored in the basement. be- ing delivered there by means of an electric elevator, from the outside and from there are delivered to the kitchen by means. of an automatic electric elevator A large addition which has been made to the base Iaent furnishes ample storoge room for all supplies for the place.
 Besides the added storage room. a large portion of it has been fitted up for the convenience of the help. There are four dressing rooms, used f..,
 so that one does not interfere with the other. These are all equipped with individual lockers. so that each one has his own private accommo- dations in this respect.
 Then there are convenient lava tories and a rest room where the employees off duty may take their ease while awaiting his time to go to work, and place which in the
