them always with us-are here. 1t Is
glorious summer and headwear hints
of every outdoor pleasure. Brimmed

pleasant shadows over eyes that feast
themselves upon the out-of-doors. 1t

 SINCE ITS FOUNDATION

of the district for many years to come.
 Another big improvement not far distant is the construction of a home for the First National Bank of Chand- Ter. This structure will be one of the most elaborate in the town and will add much to the appearance and attract iveness. Actual work on this building will be started at an early date, it is expected.
 Plans for the construction of a new home for the Leader store, one of the biggest mercantile firms of Chandler, are now nearing completion. The new home will be three times as large as the present quarters occupied by the store. The cost of the building will be several thousands of dollars. The Sanitary market is also consid- ering plans for a new home, the pro- posed cost of which will be $5,00a These plans have not yet been com pleted, but assurance is given that the building will be constructed before the arrival of another winter.
 Two other business blocks are now being contemplated and will probably be constructed some time during the summer or early fall. One new business block, the Jacobson building, has inst recently been completed.
 In addition to the above, many new homes will be built this summer. not only at Chandler but at the villages south, established by the Southwest Cotton company.
 l All in all, the next year looks like the ! biggest ever experienced by Chandler and the territory adjacent thereto
