MISS A. r. RAYNOLDS-Peop in
Canon City do not appreciate the
beauty of Canon City's scenic drives
The colorings in the mountains west
of the Skyline drive are not surpassed
by Yellowstone Park in variety, but
they are not quite SO brilliant in shad,
Ing as those of Yellowstone. Having
been in many places ia Colorado,
can safely say that the climate here
is not surpassed elsewhere In the
state In all my travelling have
never failed to boost Canon City
c. G. PATTON-Back in Ohio they
are still parceling out sugar. No
family can buy over 21s pounds at a
time. The dealers get only a 1O0-
pound sack at time. The reason is
that that section of the country is
short on sugar and SO far it has been
impossible to increase the supply.
Peaches are selling by the bushel at
"a back there. When | was boy
they sold at rs cents.
LLOYD EGbERS-I have heard so
much about Monte Vista that went
the town over, 1t certainly is lively
little town and Is rapidly growing,
there being as many as 90 new houses
being built. However, the sad part
of it is that most of them are being
cheapiy constructed, that is, the poorer
grade of material is being used.
FRED HUBERT-Dealers in filma
and kodak supplies all over the coun-
try are having great deal of diff
Guilty In getting enough to supply their
trade. Some firms have been entirely
out for several weeks. Increased de-
mand and the fact that the factories
could not make up their usual summer
stock during last winter. due to labor
shortage. is the cause of all the
trouble.
CLAUDE SINGER-The Fifth and
Main streets site is a sp endid location
for the new postoffice. 1t is centrally
located. is on Main street and is con-
yenient from all points.
RAY c. BACON-The spoilage at
the canning plant this year has been
nil. The percentage Of loss from this
cause is so little in comparison with
the thousands upon thousands of cans
of fruit and vegetables produced that
it can hardly be computed.
EDNA ANDERSON-I am very
much pleased with Canon City both as
place to live and as a business
point. In fact, | like 1t so well that
l have purchased property here.
ARCH STOCKDER-After an abb
sence of two or three years l was
greatly surprised at the change in
Canon City. 1t is as lively and as en-.
terprising. doing apparently as much
or more business. than any town its
size that have been in since l have
been away. The fact that on Satur-
day nights all the room along Main
street In the business section Is taken
up by parked cars indicates unusual
prosperity.
TOM PARKER-The new comfort
stations at the municipal camping
grounds. which were erected in July.
have really paid for themselves al
ready In the good will they have cre-
ated for Canon City. Actually hun
dreds of tourists using the camping
grounds have told me that they have
seldom found such conveniences as
are offered here, therefore they have
splendid reason to remember Canon
City. anu 10 recommend IL.
MISS MARGARET GRAHAM-Tne
tourist trade in our business this year
has been remarkable. We have never
experienced SO much of Il before be-
cause millinery is not something ordi-
narily bought by tourists. We give
the Chamber of Commerce much
credit for the Increased tourist trade
this year because we believe their
constant work the past few years to
bring the tourists to Canon City was
largely instrumental In the fact that
they came this year.
DAVID L. ROB.JON-The man
who buys oil s ock and refuses to sell
1t at 100 per cent advance has some
thing the matter with his carburetor.
MRS. z. w. EDDY--Since we took
over the Strathmore hotel we have
not had vacant room one night, and
in fact we nave been forced to turn
prospective guests away for lack OF
accommodations. In other words.
there is a great deal of travel and
Canon City seems to be getting its full
share.
RAYMOND GRIMES-Hogtown oil,
which stock am selling. was bid at
$1.25 on the Texas market and there
was no stock offered lor sale Stock in
company drilling In a proven fed
with gushers all about, is the easiest
thing In the world to sell.
MRS. w. F. OTT-Because of he
scarcity OF ice and OF cream many ice
cream makers have been forced to
quit for the time being The scarcity
NJ ice IL unprecedented in the history
