out and about Is rooms built on at
the rear.

plans for an elevator to be erected

capacity. and will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
New Fixtures
The Dustin pharmacy has just in
stalled fine, sanitary, Walrus soda
fountain, 16 feet long. 1t will be
a pleasure to drink even a soft drink
served across such a beautiful foun-
tain.
Flowing Well at Moreland
The Palace drug store put in a
brand new 12-foot iceless soda foun-
tain last week, which in it's marble
