Edna Bloom, whom we had always
supposed would teach school, but
Mile informed me that she was now
a successful business woman. It

and ambition to become more eff

es are contemplated to be built during
the coming spring which will add ma
terially to the appearance of the al
ready fine residence section. The
citizens of Julesburg take pride in
the appearance of their homes, and
for this reason there are many i'm
provements along this line each year
Beautiful lawns are a pleasing fea-
ture. Many newcomers have realized
the advantages of Julesburg as a
place in which to make their home,
and have during the past several
years built or purchased their own
homes. More homes are needed as
it is almost out of the question to
rent residence property in this
city, the demand being so great by
those who are continually coming
here to make Julesburg their home.
The homes are modern, having the
conveniences of lights, water and
sewerage and the streets are also well
lighted in all parts of the city. The
town has constructed numerous street
crossings to connect with the endless
chain of sidewalks over the city.
Julesburg offers many inducements
to persons in search of an ideal place
in which to live and make their home
many perhaps which have not been
enumerated in this edition. The peo-
pie here are congenial and always ex-
tend welcome hard to the newcomer,
and it is an easy matter for the
stranger to become acquainted. The
town is in its infancy in the matter of
development, as great things ere in
store for this community which will
mean added prosperity TO its citizens.
The latchctring hangs out to those
seeking a new location to come to
Julesburg, THE GATEWAY OF

citizens in the many opportunities
which abound for the future in this
garden spot of the West.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1919-02-20

The citizens of JulesbCrg are wei
coming the many newcomers, ex-
tending their hearty cooperation to
the new citizens who are coming here
to share in the work of building up
this prosperous and progressive com
munity. Strangers find it an easy
matter to become acquainted here as
they are always given the glad hand
of welcome. The newcom,.. is made
to feel that he is one of US, being i'm
bued with the cooperative spirit
which predomn.ates.
Julesburg is live town and is in
habited by a live and progressive peo-
pie, who are always ready to work
in cooperative manner towards the
upbuilding of community. Those
seeking new homes will find every ad-
vantage of the city right here and
the climatic conditions are entirely
agreeable.
A prosperous and productive terri
tory means a prosperous and modern
town. This is one of the reasons why
Julesburg ranks as one of the most
modern and progressive towns in the
state of Colorado. Julesburg is for
tunate in having body of public spir
tied business men who are continually
looking for opportunities to better
their town and aid in the development
of Sedgwick county.
All things considered, Julesburg is
a splendid town in which to live, work
and play. On the whole Julesburg is
a healthy, wealthy and beautiful place
in the midst of a healthful, productive
country, where opportunities are un-
bounded. for the strong industrious
man.
We could use several columns more
of space in this edition in enume-ating
the many good things relative to Jules
burg, the counyt seat of Sedgwick
county, but we have tried to make a
clear statement of facts as they exist.

upbuilding of the community, and
contribute literally TO anv movement
which pertains to W. .iare.
Julesburg has four hotels, two res
taurants, five grocery stores, one drug
store, three hardware stores, three
implement firms, two banks, four
general merchandise and dry goods
stores, two millinery stores, two lum-
Der yards, two furniture stores, two
meat markets, one jewelry store, one
livery barn, two garages, two black
smith shops, one newspaper, one bak
cry and confectionery, one harness
shop, two shoe shops, one tailoring es-
tablishment, one vulcanizng establish
ment, one hide and junk dealer, two
grain elevators, one pool hall, five real
estate firms, one picture show, one
opera house, two barber shops, one
Variety store, four doctors, two den
fists, five lawyers, and other business
enterprises which we have not men
toned here.
The business men who have come

'ourd it profitable, there being a suf-
ficient volume of trade. which insures
success to the various enterprises, and
his is increasing all the while on ac-
count of the rapid growth of the coun-
try tributary, with the influx of new
settlers who are coming, taking ad-
vantage of the many opportunities
which are offered here to the land
and home seeker. Truly Julesburg
has a future that may well be the
envy of many western town.
Miles of sidewalk and hundreds of
trees are in evidence in Julesburg, the
residence section being adorned with
many fine homes, there having been
a large umber of houses built here
during the past several years. and
now with the dawn of a world peace
there will be new era in the building
line. Already number of new hous-

water plant. The water has been
found by analysis to contain the pro-
per elements for the best water for
domestic purposes. The Town of
Julesburg has just recently authorized
the issuance of s1O0,0O00O bonds for
the building of new light and power
plant, and the actual construction has
been commenced on what will be the
most modern plant of its kind in this
entire section. This will take the
place of the present plant which has
proven inadequate for the ever in
creasing demands of this growing
community. A 24-hour light service
has been maintained in Julesburg for
the past several years, making the
conveniences the same as that of the
large cities. The Union Pacific rail-
road maintains electric coal chutes in
their yards here, the "juice" being
supplied by the municipal plant.
In addition to the new light and
power plant which is now in the course
of construction, a modern ice plant
will also be installed in connection and
the citizens of J,leshurg will be enab-
led to secure ice from this plant next
summer in any quantity which may
be desired, at a reasonable price. This
will be a welcome enterprise to this
community and is in keeping with the
progressiveness of Julesburg.
A modern sewerage system is main

tanned by the Town of Julesburg which
makes the sanitary conditions of this
community first-class. Another en-
terprise is that of a steam heating
company made up of some of the
leading business men. The exhaust
steam at the power plant is utilized
by this company, being purchased
from the city. The steam is piped to
the business houses and the court
house for heating purposes. Nume--
Gus other enterprises are slated for
Julesburg in the near future and the
growth of the town will be remarkable
but of substantial nature.
There are many business enter
prises in Julesburg and with each
year, larger volume Of trade to the
various concerns is the result. The
business men are live and cooperating
with each other in building up the
community, thoroughly realizing the
benefits to be derived. Practically
every line of business is tu be found
here and the merchants carry large
stocks of goods for the selection of
their patrons. People come for miles
to trade in Julesburg, where they are
accorded courteous treatment and OBJ
tain the necessities of life at fair
prices. receiving the highest market
prices for their grain and other pro-
ducts. The business men of Jules
burg have a heartfelt interest in the
