LETTER FROM DAVENPORT, IOWA

The following is an extract from a
letter written by former resident OF
Wausau, who went to Davenport, Ia,
last fall and will be interesting to his
friends here:
"Since coming to Davenport last
fall, l have been associated with the
Gordan Van Tine or U. N. Roberts Co.,
sellers and buyers of the famous ready
cut homes, and large building material
plant. There are over 200 in the gen.
eral offices here and fine system for
all different branches of the institu-
ton makes it an interesting place. The
spring business in the building line
opens up very good for all parts of
the country, and we expect rush
summer. We publish semi
building material catalog and "a sep
arate home and farm building catalog,
and these for 1917 are very valuable
and interesting.
Davenport is beautiful city of
nearly $4,000 and with Moline and
Rock Island, ILL.,, directly across the
Mississippi river, this makes a large
business and manufacturing center.
The government has a large arsenal
and many shops on an island here and
business is very rushing there these
times-cannot get enough men. There
is a heavy guard on duty over every
thing belonging to the government
here, including arsenal and grounds,
bridges, aerial station and government
locks
There are many places of interest
and several historical spots in the
tri-cities. There are so many differ
ent lines of manufacturing carried on
here that | am just beginning to get
acquainted and want to see more of
them, as nice weather continues to
favor us.
| understand the winter has been
rather severe in Wisconsin. 1t was
bad enough here but all is sunshine
now and expect the snow will soon
make it's appearance down here in a
raised river stage.
My best wishes to all friends and
acquaintances, and long remembering
the days spent in Wausau, / am,
Respectfully,
VIM. A. HAW."

Our Black Creek correspondent, un-
der the nom de plume of 'Dan," so
often remarked of marriage fever"
in their burg, that we concluded that
he was affected seriously in that way
himself, but since learning that eight
couples have entered the connubial
state within the last two months, we
cease to wonder, and must confess
that a town carrying on the marriage
business to such an extent, must be a
growing one.

tary base of the terrazza with a
cent6r of light terra Gotta colored
linoleum pasted down into the con-
crete. The toilet rooms have a
partition and walls of marble, and
the plumbing the most sanitary
that money can purchase.
The building is heated by the
vapor system and two large boilers
were installed which can be used
singly or together. The water
supply is furnished by what is known
as the Kewaunee Pneumatic sys-

tenn is large enough to take care of
supply for the building, for fire pro-
lection for the sanatorium and
other county buildings.
The building is lighted by electric
ity and the kitchen and laundry is
equipped with electricity. The
kitchen is a model in its appoint
ments and is perhaps the first one
IN which the cooking will all be
done by electricity. It has also an
electric run dumb waiter operated
by push button. The dining room
is one of the largest rooms in the
building, large enough to seat all
who are in the building at one time.
It is well lighted and beautiful in
its appointments.
Special attention has been given
to the apartments for nurses. There
is vacuum cleaner system which
reaches all the rooms; a telephone,
bell and spea king tube-systems; the
porches are screened and canvassed,
all of which goes to make it an
ideal home for the sick.
The building is in the shape of
''T,' with a south front of 2114 feet,
and IN feet 5 in, wide. The rear
wing is "a feet, 4 inches wide and II
feet, Z inches long.
