MeLEMORE AND BASS BLDG.
is NEAR COMPLETION

George W. Pickle continues TO add
his lot 10 the building up Of Lub-
book. He has been about the busiest
contractor in town for several days
as the urgent need Of the McLemore
and Bass Building which is being
erected on Boardway. has inspired
him TO push his men along, and we
are sure that when building Lub-
book Is concerned. George W. Pickle
can be counted on as one of the
great factors in accomplishing that
work.
As n kiwanisn. George is there
with the goods. but has worried the
secretary with the problem Of finding
a plenty for him 70 eat at the weekly
luneheons, and when few days
ago he was overwhelmed with so
many varieties Of delicious foods
that he had to admit that for once
he had satisfied his appetite, the
energetic secretary realized that
there is always a way 10 meet every
problem with a practical solution.
The old gag about "leave il to
George" win work mighty well IN
Lubbock, for George W. Is there
with the goods. and always carries
his part Of the load.
His many friends are eagerly
awaiting the completion Of the build
ings in which he is now interested,
for he has the building fever
mighty bad and they want TO see
what he will build next.
Lubbock people are building a
city second TO none and when all is
said and done. George Pickle VIII
have made pretty good record In
the building world.
