JULEBURG'S Two
Big ADDITIONS
NEARLY FINISHED

The two largest improvements IN
dertaken in Julssburg this year are
rapidly nearing nompaetion. IAey
are the new flour mill, being built ~
the Lanckriet Bros. and the new gar
by the Julesburg Tractor and lmple-
ment Co. In an interview had with
the proprietOrs Of the mill one day
this week our reporter learned that the
mill will probably be completed sed
ready for work within another n0neh.
This mill is a splendid property. il
is four stories high and one Of the
notable structures of the city. 1t ear
be seen for miles. 1t will have . ca
pacity of fifty barrels of flour \ day
and il SO constructed that it can easaiy
be converted into hundred barrel
mill. That is, it will be run in the
beginning as q one-unit establishmen M
but as soon as the business warrants,
a double unit set Of machinery will
be installed and the capacity will be
thus increased two fold The nachin-
cry is now on the grounds and is
being unloaded from the cars as We
write these lines. 1t is being trans
uIICNlly lIoHl lllS SdI5 INV S'N
mill and will be quickly put in place,
Lanckriet Bros. will have an invest
ment Of about $4,000 when the plant
is done and Julesburg can be proud
that such an enterprise has been 10
Gated here. After the building proper
is finished. the proprietors intend to
20 right ahead, adding other improve
ments. They plan to build several
huge elevators, of concrete, between
the mill and the railroad trackage
which runs up past it, and SO
arranged that wheat can either be
unloaded from the elevators into cars,
or from cars into the elevators and
from these in turn into the mill. They
take the view that an up-to-date mill
should be able to handle all wheat
offered; no matter in what quantities,
and are therefore preparing the pro
per facilities so to do. The citizens
of Julesburg deserve great credit, for
doing what they did to get this mill
to locate in our city and we congratu-
late all concerned that the establish
ment is so rapidly nearing completion.
The other big improvement WHICH
is now drawing near to the completed
stage, is the monstrous garage NJ K
being erected by the Julesburg Tfac
tor and Implement Co., of which H.
Hodges and f. N. Kelsey are the NOV
terprising firm has grown. to such
ling spirits. The business Of this en-
large proportions that they. found it
absolutely necessary to build bigger
quarters. Their new building is rs
feet wide and extends from street to
alley, which means u length of lao
feet. 1t is so constructed and the roof
so supported that scarcely post will
appear inside. We doubt if there is
as large building is this section of
the state that is covered by one roof.
The Julesburg Tractor and Implement
Co. mot only handle automobiles, trac-
tors and trucks, but they also carry
a vast array of machinery. The vol
ume Of business done by them in the
machinery line can best be illustrated
by the fact that they recently re-
ceived eight carloads at one ship
ment, six for their headquarters here
and two for their branch office at
Big Springs.
The walls of the building are
practically finished and the roof
ing timbers are all in place. II
will soon be ready for occupancy The
owners take just pride in their build
ing rs we'll they may, for it is land-
able addition to Julesburg's growing
business section and will augment the
firms standing noticeably.
We say again, watch Julesburg
grow.
