Recital Success
The recital given a few weeks ago
at the C. NJ E. church by Mrs. NJ.
Hooks, of Denver, Colo. proved en-

who attended felt that he had received
more than his moneys worth.
Another Successful Business Man
Mr. Frank L. Eckford, who conducts
a garage and repair shop at 80 South
Second street, is deserving of the
highest praise for the successful man

business. Mr.. Eckford, a graduate of
Tuskegee, came to Phoenix last Sep

the local garages and worked at his
trade for several months. He later
opened a shop of his own at 80 South
Second street, and has conducted it
in such way as to draw a large
trade. He employs several mechanics
and is himself kept busy serving Gus
toners. He owns his home, a beau
