Fewer changes have taken place in that immediate vicinity, that is, within the range of the camera. than along many other sections of the street. and fewer have taken place on Washington street than on many other streets now in the business sec tion.

ADvANTAGESOF FASHION SHOW
 ARE SET FORTH
Exceptional Condition in
 Manufacture Will Make
 Display Here One Long to
 be Locally Remembered

Exceptional advantages for the spring fashion show are claimed this year De- cause of the notable development made the past F months is the manufacture, particular in the dyeing of dainty fab rics. Because of climatic reasons. Phoe- nicians have unrivaled opportunity to combine the best products of the great looms of the land into garments of wonderful variety, texture and hue and the spring fashion show will show such combinations in almost endless variety. The display this year will be one of remarkable variety and completeness and will serve to stimulate spring trad ing by the attractiveness of the show ing.
 Business has been exceptionally good this winter and the spring, under the stimulus of the fashion show, promises to sustain the pace for the very com plete local establishments. The newest ideas are being used to show what may be done for garments particularly fit ted for spring weather in Phoenix and this showing will make the display one long to be remembered.
 Tn motif for the fashion show is well conveyed by the name of the event but back of the show itself is the serious purpose of interesting people in the chance by trading with home establish ments to get goods which are best adapted to this section, thus stimulat- ing business and continuing the condi- tion of general prosperity in the shops of the city.
 This opportunity is appreciated by those who will take advantage of the chance to display their wares to very large numbers of people on the date of the fashion show and plans alreauy | put on gala appearance next week when the latest things for spring styles are shown in such lavish quantity in this city.
