Possibility of Another Big
Building in Phoenix is
feature of Interest as
Well as the Sale Itself

Out-of- state capital has purchased
for cash the 49-feet just east of the
korrick store on East Washington
street for a consideration of $1,000 a
front foot. The property is sold by
Emil CAM. president of the National
Bank of Arizona. The purchasers are
Goodman Brothers. of Detroit.
The building upon the property IS
occupied by p. T. Hurley as "a market.
1t is understood that the Hurley in
terests viii continue to occupy quar-
ters in the building upon the property.
1t is reported. though not definitely
announced that the new owners OF the
property will make ultimate improve
ments of a most substantial nature. but
il is also understood that for the time
being there will probably be no
changes in the way of a new building.
The sale is of great public interest
for several reasons. In the first place.
il is an indication Of the fact that out
side capitalists are keenly alive to the
possibilities in the Salt river valley in
general and Phoen.x IN particular.

tween Phoenix people are to be ex-

estate, 1t means that the recognition
Of values in the real estate Investments
here is widespread
Another matter of interest involved
is the price paid. A cash consideration
of $4,000 for 4O-feet frontage on East
Washington street goes farther to
establish values, not only in the sec
ton but all over the city, than miles
Of claims and talk. II shows that men
OF judgment, after careful investiga
ton. are willing to pay such a price
for Phoenix property, and this is a
most encouraging sign.
While higher prices for other prop
erty nearer Central avenue have been
declined, this is considered a good
price for property in the section where
the sale was made. ..his fact. coupled
with the probability of the construc-
ton Of another fine building at some
time, is but another straw which in
dicates values in Phoenix property.

BOSTON STORE
To HAVE FINE
NEW BUILDING

Responding to the call of an ever
increasing business, and the demands
Of its patrons, that newer and more up
to date quarters be found in which to
show its large stock, the Boston Store,
for the past quarter Of a century, one
Of the leading business houses Of Phoe
mix, is going to have a new home on
the site Of the present structure.
For several years the fact that a
new building was going to be required.
has been recognized by Ike Diamond,
who IS at the head Of the Boston Store.
In 1908, the store moved from utterly
inadequate quarters to its present
building, thinking that the extra room
afforded would be ample for n long
time to come, but with THE growth of
Phoenix, the Boston Store has grown
too. and it is now Imperative that an
expansion be made.
In an interview yesterday afternoon,
e. G. Carter, manager of the Boston
Store stated that the new building
would be on the same site as the pres
ent quarters. During thte erection OF
a new store, temporary quarters will
be found.
The new building will be the latest
thing in store architecture. 1t will De

modern sanitary well lighted basement.
and a mezZanine floor with offices in
the rear The material used through
out win be reinforced concrete, faced
with pressed brick One of the new
features of the store will be a rest
aurant, something with which none OF
the department stores in Phoenix is at
present equipped.
I'VE want our patrons to feel as
much at home in the new store as
they do in, the old one" stated Mr.
Carter. There is nothing flashy and
snowy about the Boston Store. We
feel that we are a substantial bust
ness like concern, and as such, think
that we are in need of quarters which
will make our patrons not only feel
but know that they are welcome. We
plan an attractive and pleasing build

Belts was somewhat sceptical over
the driving abilities of MISS Bile .l.s

would not win the race. The bet was
promptly accepted. As soon as Belts

says: 81 have seen a thousand of
