new quarters Of the Lampert Lumber
Company. it has been possible to
form some. idea Of what q handsome,
appearance the north end of Third

ed. The atucco finish for the exterior
of buildings of all kinds, both resi-
dence and business block, has in re-
cent years safely passed the expert
mental stage and it's durability,
strength and handsome appearance
become firmly established. The new
quarters of the Lampert Lumber
Company will have a unique and at
tractiye appearance that will both
add to the ornamentation of that Sec
