 There is a vacuum cleaning system employed to clean the entire building. A large water system is assured by means of a pumping plant located in the basement.

 The old place is to be vacated be- tween close of business today and the opening of business Monday morning. The transfer from the old home of the Central Commercial company to the new quarters will be made without break in the commercial affairs of the concern.
 Kingman people should feel just pride in this establishment and show their appreciation by attending the formal opening next Monday after noon and Monday evening.
