J. F. Habrich has crew of men at
work on the tract of land east of town
adjoining the village of Eagle River
formerly owned by Aug. We'll and is
blasting out stumps preparatory to
laying out several streets and alleys
through the property which he has
plated into lots and to be known as

The entire tract comprises forty acres
through which state highway 80
passes and is finely located for resi-
dence purposes. A number of lots
have been sold and buildings erected
thereon. Being directly accessible to
the electric light line and also con-
venient to extend the water and sewer
to them, it is safe to predict that by
next summer the whole number of
lots unsold will be purchased as they
are priced very reasonable consider

Two improvements That
Would Look Well Here
STREETS WELL MARKED AND
MUNICIPAL ELECT SIGNS
WOULD HELP HERE

In recent trip down state in which
we passed through a good many vii
lagos aud larger towns, some of which
we had not seen for several years, we
were impressed with al couple of adj
vertising stunts employed in the maj
ority of them, that could be adopted
in Eagle River at a nominal expense
and are certainly attractive wherever
seen.
One of them was system of street
marking signs at every corner, made
of a small painted board with the
name of each street pointing in that
direction. To the stranger in any town
it is about as difficult to find the resi-
dence of John Jones or Geo. Brown,
in the town of 1900 population as in
the one of 5000, and with all the
streets markede it is much easier to
alton
The other somewhat more elaborate
and expensive but well worth the
money, were the large electric signs
at some central or prominent point,
carrying the name of the place and
generally with some slogan of well
come attached Most towns and cities
using them are obliged to obtain the
current to light them from privately
owned companies and if it pays in
those places Eagle River ought to be
able to afford when the current is
supplied from its own power plant.
The cost of both as it would apply
here could not be very large and they
are improvements that we would like
to see in operation before the arrival
next year of thousands of visitors who,
would certainly admire and appreciate
these marks of public hospitality to
the guests of Eagle River
