in fact very seldom, will one find the
numerous acts of human kindness

IAVESON & S0LBERG
Contractors & Builders

The general contracting business
may be correctly classed as a con-
structive science. Each finished pro-
duct stands as a monument either for
or against the company that erected
it, and, in order for a company
engaged in such a work to attain it's
highest possible value to the territory
served, it is necessary that an under
tone deeper than that of mere dol
lars and cents be taken into consid-
GRAFTON. Such a company is respon-
sible in a great measure for the his
tory and growth of communities. They
are continually erecting structures
which not only house plants and
workmen, but also are barometers by
which the outside world reads the
progress and desirability of that Sec
ton or community in which to live
and conduct business.
The original business was started
by Mr.. T. Laveson in March 1921, and
he was joined by o. Solberg. and the
present firm took effect, April 1st of
this year. Both partners are active
with the business, are Legionnaires,
and progressive young men. Mr..
Laveson has been a resident of Ariz-
ona for the past eight years and is
native of Sweden but is a citizen of
the United States A majority of his
experience has been along contruc-
ton lines. Mr.. Solberg has been a
resident of Arizona for four years
and is from California here He was
formerly connected with the Billy
Sunday Building Company of Los An
geles.
Laveson and Solberg furnish a
complete building service from the
inception of plans until the structure
is ready to turn over to the owner
for occupancy. AS examples of con-
tracing done here may be mentioned
the residents of Burl Vincent, and
those of Ed Matthews and o. A
Brown. The firm at present is hand
ling the construction of the City Hall
and also has the contract of the
Masonic Temple.
'Sell your car and build a home"
is the motto of the firm and the
management states that NOW is the
time to build in Winslow, due to the
facts that it is considered by experts
in this line that the cost of building
material will show an upward trend
IN the next TWO years, an0 tndC the
lack of housing accommodations, to-
gether with it's growth, all make
building in this city an excellent in
vestment at this time.
Laveson and Solberg are located at
11S West Third Street and the phone
number is ITO. A speciality is made
in high-class cabinet work. Both
partners are always glad to assist
prospective home builders in any way
and an entirely unselfish building
service is rendered to the community
Messrs. Laveson and Solberg wish to
be quoted as boosters and Mr.. Lave
son said II think the future depends
upon the development of the Colo
RADIO River. If this proposition is
carried out rightly. and Arizona given
her just dues, the city of Winslow
and the entire State will come to the
front Our greatest need in Winslow
is the establishment of facilities for
recreation for the younger genera
tion, such as a swimming pool, play
ground, etc. These could be policed
by the Boy Scouts and the up-keep
would be very small after they were
constructed
