BLOCK
NOW ASSURED
OSBORNE BLOCK REALTY co. WILL
CONSTRUCT 5000 0 BUILDING and
name IN HONOR OF WIN. DALEY

Mr.. c. H. Whittum, president OF
the Osborne Block Realty Co., an
n the completion of plans for
the construction OF a two-story
$780, 900 building upon the lots Just
north Of the Miller Block on Fifth
Street.
VIM. Dubois, of Cheyenne, is the
architect who Is drawing the plans
for this new business block The
plans call for a building two stories
in heightth with a full basement and
to have a frontage of IS feet and a
depth OF 1872 feet. The building will
extend firm the Miller Block to the
alley north.
The first floor Of the building will
comprise four store rooms each %
feet in width while the second floor
will be devoted to offices only.
Mr.. Whittum states that the con-
tract will be let for this new bust
@ block within the next few days
and that construction work will be
rushed Just as rapidly as possible
with the expectation that 1t will be
finished by fall. The building will
be constructed Of brick similar to the
Osborne Block.
Many years ago several Of the
pioneers Of Rawlins. comprising J.
f. Osborne. I. X. Miller and VIM.
Daley had a vision Of Rawlins be-
coming a real city and organized the
Osborne Block Realty company for
the purpose OF constructing the Os-
borne Block at the corner of Fifth
and Cedar streets. This building
constructed but for several years
was a losing proposition as only a
few OF the business houses and Of
fices therein could be rented. Finals
ly the building was filled so these
builders gambled again on the future
Block. The same experience was I'M
dergone in this building as with the
Osborne Block. During the past few
years. however. this building has
been practically filled so the men
behind the Osborne Block Realty Co.
have decided to construct another
building In Rawlins.
This new building will be called
the Daley Block" in honor of VIM.
Daley. who passed away recently.
and who was one of the original or
ganizers OF the Osborne Block Realty
Company.
nHioh th' ptohtttH WI IVA u
who have been exceptionally active
In the building OF the city none are
more deserving OF credit than I. X.
Miller and VIM. Daley. both deceas-
ed. and John r. Osborne. The two
buildings constructed by the Osborne
Block Realty Co. have been named
In honor OF Mr.. Osborne and Mr..
Miller while the new building will
be named in honor OF VIM Daley.
The officers OF the Osborne Block
Realty Company are ut the present
time AZ follows:
G. II. Whittum. president.
W. W Daley. vice-prcsident.
II. A. France. secretary.
Kirk Miller. treasurer.
Tho announcement OF the con-
.struction Of this new block comes
rs a very gratifying piece Of news
to tho people Of RAwlins as II shows
that these mon are convinced OF tho
future Of the city and are willing
invest their money In Rawlins
property.

DIR. E. A. KELL
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR

Dr.. E. A. KelL, Republican Candidate for Mayor Of Rawins
has served in that capacity for the past two years and during
his term of office has made a wonderful record.
Mayor Kell is responsible for the fact that Rawlins is soon to
have a sufficient supply of pure soft water as it is through his
efforts that Investigations were made, bond issue voted and con-
tracts let for this system. Mayor Kell has devoted a great of time
in getting the preliminary work done for our water system.
Just recently the contract was let for the construction of
this half million dollar water system and actual work will be
started on the system within the next few weeks. During the
construction this summer DIR. Kelps services will be needed by
the citizens of this city as Mayor more than at any time since the
inception of the project.
In addition to inaugurating the water project Mayor Kell
has also placed the affairs of Rawlins on a business basis, has
managed to keep our old water system in working condition,
has improved our streets as far as finances would permit and
was also responsible for the bringing of natural gas into the
city.
The services of DR.. Kell as Mayor are vitality needed by the
CITY of Rawins and he should be elected next Tuesday by an
overwhelming majority.
