C0 MOST people don't like the idea cV of getting trimmed, but we can show you place where they'll give you a thorough trimming and make you like it. It is one of the best barber shops you ever stepped into a real shop with a first-class barber behind each chair. They have keen razors and sharp shears, and every thing is strictly sanitary. With each snip of the shears or each stroke of the blade you feel as though you are headed for the best trimming you ever had. And you never have to wait long to get dolled up, either, for these fellows forget the conversation that goes with the business and bend all their energies into turning out fin- ished piece of work. You look and feel like new man when you get out of the chair, and a new look comes in- to the eyes of your best girl when she gets slant at you. The shop has three chairs, is right near a bank, and faces east.

% WE knew a tight wad once who Ac would spot a fellow smoking good cigar, and he would follow close behind him and get grand sec ond-hand smoke. That's one way to enjoy the weed, of course, but the best way is to go to the subject of this sketch and choose your own smoke out of the excellent assortment of high grade cigars he carries. All the good brands will be found in this store. Of course, he carries smokes to suit all tastes, and you are sure to find your own favorite here. This includes cig- arettes and pipe tobacco, naturally, and for those who enjoy setting their teeth into a good plug he has some of the most delectable chews on the mar ket. Besides this, he carries all kinds of soft drinks-notice the superfluous adjective-and you can get the choic- est of fruits there. He also conducts taxi line for the benefit of those who want to get some place in hurry. Whose place is this? It is right near telegraph office and faces west.

MONEY talks, they say, but tn

z MONEY talks, they say, but the U other day we heard man la menting that the only thing he ever heard it articulate plainly was "good- by." But he was not patron of this grocery store, vegetable and fruit market and meat shop. When your money bids adieu to you in this em- porium you are always sure of receiv- ing it's equivalent in the best the mar ket affords. It has been in success full operation for many years. They carry big stock of fancy and staple groceries and family supplies, and take great pride in their fresh vege- tables and fruits, while the meat de- partment is always stocked with the choicest products that ever hiked around on four legs. They sell as cheaply as they reasonably can and make a living profit, and their best boost is their crowds of pleased GUS toners. They face the setting sun right near a corner. What is the name?

C0 WHO is the man in this city Au who does all kinds of black smithing-except the poor kind? He began at the forge when he was boy, and has been pounding the anvil ever since. From early in the morning un- til the sun goes to sleep at night he keeps that anvil ringing. Folks, why does he do this? Because he needs the money. And, believe us, the wise ones keep him eating three squares a day. He has lots of regular customers who wouldn't think of going anywhere else with their blacksmith work. It is one of his long suits. In fact, he can do any kind of job that ever limped into a blacksmith shop. He doesn't stand under spreading chest nut tree, because he doesn't have time, and besides there's no chestnut tree around there. When he isn't doing blacksmithing he's kept busy on alto repair work, at which he's a cracker jack. His shop is near little bridge. Who is he?

THERE may be larger markets

20 THERE may be larger markets AC than this one in Arizona, but there are none where better meats are sold, that's sure. It is a market that has been running along under the same management for several years. It supplies a large patronage in the city and surrounding country. It handles the very choicest of fresh and cured meats. It is the market where money talks and says something be- sides "adiOs" It is the market that makes that good sausage and delica- cies that you long to have on your ta- ble once in awhile. It is run by man that savvies meat from the hoof up, and his customers get the benefit of his knowledge. The market is strictly sanitary and his prices won't scare you to death. This place faces the rail- road and is at the rear end of a gro- cery. Who's is it?

WHAT is the name of the garage

that has a reputation all over the northern part of the state of do- ing real work on your car when you take them your troubles ?. This is a mighty nice reputation for any garage to have, and it is one that will travel just as the reputation of this one has. The proprietors-they are brothers know their business from Hallelujah to amen, and they insist that the me chanics they employ be equally com petent, and that is what has given the public the right to say the nice things they do about the place. A look into this garage most any time will con- vince the most skeptical that this is where the motoring crowd goes. You all know who this is, but we like to make it easy, so here goes a tip. They are distributors for one of the best cars man ever rode in. It has three letters. What garage is this? The entrance is cut across the corner.

THERE are lots of people here

7 THERE are lots of people here ~ still using flour that is not made in the home mill, under the mis- taken idea that because they pay a higher price for the shipped-in article it must be better. Some folks reason that way without taking the trouble to give the home brew--or rather the homemade article-a trial. Made from the finest grade of wheat known to man-wheat grown in Northern Arizona, which a scientific analysis proves to be unexcelled anywhere the highest attainments of the art of pastry and bread-making are possible with Flavo. There you are. That's the name of your home flour, and if you can't bake the finest bread with it, or cakes, or pies, it's because your fire is out. They're turning out over fifty barrels day at the mill, and if you folks of Flag would just get alive to what's good, they'd be building an addition to the mill and quadrupling their capacity. Go out and take a look at the plant. It's the cleanest place you ever saw flour turned out of. Whats the name?

EVERYTHING for the n

CNIn Il lHiXNN loi thS iiioh L should be the slogan of this well-known establishment. Every thing but the eats. But when it comes to wearing apparel for dad or his young image, you are not going to find them any better any place. From the skin out-that's the idea. Any thing for him. Underwear, socks shos, shirt, collar, tie, suit, handker- chief, hat-there you are, all dressed up. And the beauty of it is that it is all the standard makes of goods that you are so we'll acquainted with. In a case like that you can't make mis- take. You know your money is going into something that is going to give you wear and satisfaction. It is the store where goods are sold on the basis of what they cost-plus a small profit without regard to possible wholesale advances in cost. Thus it happens that here you very often find goods selling for less than the current prices. An other thing, it is one of the oldest es- tablished business of its kind in town, and it's volume of trade is the ther- mometer of it's popularity. What is the name? It is right near our im- maculate city hall.

They haven't been so long in Flagstaff, but they have been a long time in the business and know what's what. The shop faces the rising sun, close to corner.

Cc SOME people, when they hit HO town, make bee line for the first hotel they get a slant at and reg ister regardless of what is offered in the way of comforts. The wise ones take their time and pick a place where they can feel at home. That is the kind of hotel this is. Situated on a quiet street, it has serene and re- poseful atmosphere that immediately hits the spot after the jangle and noise of the cities and towns. Here you can get closer to the home comforts than in most public hostelries, and when you drape your weary frame over that soft, springy bed you feel that you are due for a real nights sleep.
 Everything is spick and span, and the place is run on principles that make your stay delight. The ser vice is all that could be desired. The people you meet are the kind of people you like to know. This hotel is situ- ated couple of blocks from the bus mess center and faces south. Which is it? 1.

HERE is bank that has been es-

tablished for thirty-three years in Flagstaff, and is one of the fastest growing institutions in the northern part of the state. Its deposits have steadily climbed upward until now they reach a total of over $3,250, 900, while it's capital and surplus exceed $500,0OO. The growth of this bank has been steady, almost remarkable, due largely to its reputation for strength, solidity and conservatism, and the fact that it's personal interest in the welfare of its depositors and its inclination to extend to them at all times every proper banking accom- modation has made of them friends as we'll as clients.

Banking is a peculiar business

CC Banking is peculiar business, AA Lots of banks seem to have the right men at the head of them, but they don't appear to make much of hit with the people. Maybe they are not conservative enough. Maybe they are too conservative. One is as great mistake as tte other. But here is bank that has been establish ed in Flagstaff for only about 15 years, its capital and surplus being $165, ,O0O, while its deposits show to- tai of million and half. What is the reason? The president and board of directors are business men who have a very clear conception of suc- cessful banking methods, and they ap- ply their knowledge to the conduct of the institution in question. But with the growth of the bank they don't
 grow away from the depositor. He is still their business associate, and his
 interests are theirs. They are always
