Colorado for the white goods depart
ment of the Wholesale firm of John
V. Farweli 4 company Of Chicago, is
IN town today on one of his periodi-
cal visits. Mr.. Fell says his sales OF

cent greater than they were during
the corresponding months in 1915
and that business conditions of all
kinds in Colorado are much better
han they were twelve months ago.
Mr.. Fell. who recently returned
from a trip to Chicago. states that
many lines OF merchandise are rapid
~ advancing in price on account of
he great demand for them abroad
and that some of them are not pur-
chaseable in the American market. Mr.

Chicago by men well posted on the
subject that by March and April on
next year the consumers of dry goods
