pAnOS BUSINESS FACILITIES
Decade and a Half of Courteous
and Efficient Management Pro-
ductive of Well-D Deserved and
Continued Growth

A business that would do credit to
a much larger community than Eu-
reka is that done by the Eureka Cash
Store. The development of this bust
from its small beginnings in 1903 to
its present large proportions has been
due largely to the efficient handling
by the manager. j. B. Bale.
Beginning with a small stock of
general merchandise in a store space
of 25x35 feet. additional space and
buildings have been added from time
to time to take care of the increase
in business. Recently the company
has been compelled to enlarge and
re-arrange its main store space by
the addition of about 40 feet in the
rear. which has heretofore been used
for storage and other purposes. This
store building, which is built of brick
and stone, now gives a floor space of
25x95 feet, all in one room. and ex-
tends through from Main street to
Buel street.
In the main store is found a varied
line of general merchandise arranged
as follows: In the front section as
you enter. there is a display of glass
ware on the right. and leather goods
on the left. In the next 40 feet on
both sides are found all kinds of
groceries. In the rest of the build
ing there is a general assortment of
hardware, graniteware, crockery.
firearms and ammunition, etc. In
the front of the building, on either
side of the main aisle, are a number
of show cases displaying all kinds of
small articles-cigars, tobacco. pipes.
watches. cutlery. fishing tackle. field
glasses, many kinds of small tools,
toilet articles. etc. Toward the back
of the building on the right a COM
Portable and we'll appointed Office has
been equipped. Here are found the
usual office furniture and filing de-
vices for preserving the records of
the business. Under, and connected
with. the main store is a fine cellar
20x50 feet in which is kept wines,
liquors, hams, bacon. lard. cheese.
etc.
: Adjoining the main store building
on the north is a new iron fire proof
building 25x70 feet which is used
mo. tly for handling heavy merchan-
disc. stockmen's supplies. stoves, etc.
Just across Main street from the
principal store r two warehouse
buildings. One is a brick, fire and
frost proof building. where most of
the canned goods and a Winter sup
ply of potatoes, onions, and other
p~erishable vegetables are kept. The
other is a stone building used for
the storage of the oils which the firm
carries.
Directly in the rear of the main
store. across Buel street. is a shed
building in which are kept wagons,
agricultural implements, etc.
In short. the Eureka Cash Store is
equipped to furnish all goods except
clothing, dry goods. boots. shoes, and
general furnishings of this kind. The
firm now buys all staple goods in
carload lots. and its Grocery and
Stockmen's supply departments are
a speciality.
This business is owned and con-

who reside in a home built several
years ago adjoining the store on the
south. In the front and on the south
side of the dwelling is a spacious yard
and garden giving a beautiful setting
to the home.
