CACHE VALLEY
FLORAL co.

No business in the city has had
the attention and the effort in the
that the Cache Valley Flor
al company has, and none deserves
the success achieved more.
From a beginning small in the ex-
IRENE this business has grown
through the efforts and attention of
Mrs. Nye and mother Mrs. Veran
Armstrong. the proprietors, who
has been in business six year.
On Federal avenue they have
store that is a veritable flower gar
den at all times. The fresh cut
flowers, plants and greenery are of
an especially choice variety; due to
the knowledge of the owners of this
particular line of business, they hav-
Ing spent years in the growing and
cultivation Of Towering plants and
shrubs in their own green houses
on College Hill. A visit to their
place of business is a distinct pleas
ure, as well as a revelation.

projects. He commenced the season
by building the new city reservoir,
a concrete structure east of the city
through which all the water used by
the city passes, and Is stored. This
structure required about 1900 cubic
feet of concrete and is 220 feet in
length and has a capacity of 1,OOO,-
600 gallons.
The building of the reservoir was
just the beginning of Mr.. Nelson's
seasons work. Early in the year he
was awarded the contract 70 rbuild-
ing 80 blocks of curb and gutter
which work has kept employed
great many laboring men during the
summer months. In addition to the
work on the curb and gutter, the
contract for the four blocks of street
paving was also awarded to Mr.. Nell
son, and through all this work, the
contractor has had phenomenal luck,
coupled with his good Judgment and
the work was completed before the
early frosts came.
Nor has the municipal improve
ments which Mr.. Nelson is respon-
sible for, held all his attention. He
was contractor on the Millville water
works system, a system second to
none for its size, in the entire val
ley. Engineer Eugene Schaub de-
signed this system, which taps a
cold spring of water and through
three miles of pipe line. serves every
corner Of our neighboring town or
the south.
A crew of brick layers have also
been employed by Mr.. Nelson during
the season, erecting number o.
modern bungalows. The payroll o.
this resourceful contractor has beer
around the $4,000 mark per month
1t takes considerable nerve to obi
gate oneself for so much responslb
ility, but Mr.. Nelson has plenty o
nerve and how well he has builded
his work speaks for itself.

ENSIGN AND SMITH

Undoubtedly the most important
professional partnership formed in
Logan in recent years was the part
nership of DR.. l. S. Smith and Dr.
A. w. Ensign, formed early in the
present year. DR.. Smith, a native
Loganite, and a dentist of extensive
practice, and DR.. Ensign, a cousin,
and a dentist with lucrative prac-
tice, both graduates of the Chicago
College of Dental Surgery and work
men of ability, formed this partner
ship to continue the practice of dem
tistry at prices within the reach of
all classes. Both of these gentlemen
have been prominent members of the
State Dental associations, DR.. Smith
serving for a number of years on
the State Board of Dental EXamin-
ers.
The results of this partnership is
a practice that taxes the office to
the very utmost to care for It. With
wide circle of acquaintance and
both being live, active boosters
these dentists have found it neces-
sary to enlarge their office and re.
ception rooms, and in the near fu.
ture will occupy spacious new quar-
ters.

A grocery store that has found
that it pays to go after business Is
the College Meat and Grocery with
j. S. Bingham as manager. This
store is conducting business on a
Cash basis but finds no difficulty in
disposing of its staple and green
groceries, together with fresh meats
as It conducts delivery service sec

Cache County Society
Of Equity Organization
Beneficial To Farmers

The Cache County Farmers Soci- ,
ETY. of Equity has climbed to a
position of prominence in the COM
mercial life of Logan and Cache
Valley in the short period of two
years that is almost unbelievable.
The business done this year, will,
undoubtedly, be well in excess of
last years business, and under the
able management Of Jos. G. Sails
bury its future is bright indeed. In
corporated in 1914 with q paid up
capital stock of $4,000 at the par
value of $500 per share, the volume
of business done was practically
three times the capital stock.
The Equity handles all kinds of
farm machinery, implements and
equipment, deals in hay, lumber, ce-
ment and grain. The farmers are
able to buy their farm necessities
at price lower than that paid to
Csalers not organized for the farm
crs protection. The principle of this
concern is The Rochdale system of
patronage dividend" which in brief
is this: To sell to the farmers at
small margin OF profit, adequate
| however, to pay its expenses of OPP
Grafton and 10 per cent on the capt.
tai stock, all over and above this
nominal amount Is divided among
the members, which at present num-
bers 319. However one need not be
a member of the society to get the
advantage OF their system Of selling
agricultural necessities at saving
to the farmer. A one price system
is also maintained by Manager Sails
bury, which assures all fair and
honest dealings and all the agricul-
turists of this section enjoy doing
business with the Equity.
The society occupies the large
frame structure on South Main
street. but the energetic and cap
able management Of the business
has produced such results that the
company intends the coming year to
build a commodious new home on
the present site.
Other changes for the coming year
are proposals to increase the capital
stock from 100000 to $4,000, and
the number of share any one indl-
yidual is entitled to own from ~
to 200. The directorate which al
present consists of % of the promin'
ent farmers Of the valley is to be
, reduced to seven to expedite tine
handling of company business. These
changes will undoubtedly broader
; the field of this worthy concerns
business which has already beer
, such a boon to the farmers OF the
country. During the year the com
many has handled car load lots o.
lumber, cement, hay and grain an'

this policy of handling all kinds O
farm produce and necessities.

Since the organization of the Com
mercial- Boosters club, it has always
found much work to do, although
there are some persons in the COM
munity who feel that it has no rea-
son for its existence, but indirectly,
they are willing to accept of its
fruits.
Each year. brings it's civic, social
and commercial problems, which
must be solved and it is absolutely
necessary for some organization,
where all factions and creeds can get
together and discuss matters from
nonpartisan standpoint, to take
the initiate. The club maintains
that every man owes debt to the
community that is not paid by tax
es. He owes service to the COM
munity in return for all that it does
to aid him and he gets the maxi
mum results for his service when
II is rendered through the club,
which stands for the civic, CONNER
cial and Industrial progress Of the
city.
During the past year the club has
been active in various ways. The
Library committee, through much
time and effort secured the neces-
sary number of signatures of citi-
zens asking the city commission to
pass special tax levy in order for
Logan City to obtain Carnegie
Library. This very worthy institu-
ton will no doubt be constructed
next year.
Its Entertainment committee and
| Advertising committees assisted the
local business men to advertise and
make the Chautauqua success.
This was one of the best culture
features that ever came to Logan
and made such an impression that
arrangements were made for its APP
pearance next year.
Through the work of the Yellow
stone Highway committee in connec-
ton with the cities along the Vel
Ilowstone route through Cache Val
ley, approximately 1000 tourists
from all parts Of the United States
passed through Cache Valley to and
from the National Park. Many
large signs were erected along the
highway, logs published and distri-
buted, which called attention to the
wonderful resources of Cache Val
ley.
