THE COCONINO SUNS
new HOME AND HERE'S
HOW IT HAPPENED
CONTINUED from Page Onel

the building and perhaps drug store
or two as boot We can take down
the presses ourselves; but are some
what timid about attempting to put
them up again, as we wouldn't know
where to store the parts we couldn't
find places for. Either of the big
presses will print The Sun, so if we
don't get one down and up again in
time, the others got job to do.
The new building has lots of light,
caused by white paint, windows and q
couple sky-lights. The building were
Just about to move out of, being close
up in the shadow of several stories
of the new hotel, hasn't any light at
all except what we pay for. The fell
Ter we buy it from soon after we
pushed his gross sales of juice up
went and got married. If 1t was on
the strength of what he expected us
to continue paying, someone's out OF
luck, because our patronage VIII fall
off as soon as we move
The floors of the new building are
stee,-reinforced concrete. The walls,
side and rear, are Flagstaff concrete
brick. The front is California brick,
from the same plant furnishing the
exterior brick in the new hotel. The
panels at either side are winered,
the rest lighter except for couple
of strips, top and bottom, of the
darker color.
The roof, we fondly hope, is mois-
ture resisting. There's an elevator
and concrete stairway in the rear, one
for the more agile employees to carry
freight down, the other for the less
agile to ride theirs down with.
The heating is steam. Wilson &
Coffin installed the radiators and
pipes, also the toilet necessities, both
at the front and the rear of the build
ing, which do not comprise complexion
compacts nor lip-sticks. We hope all
these things work. Joe, Tssaw is TAX
ing care of the electrical work for
power, light, ETC., and no doubt that
sometimes when we push or twist a
button it'll work. n. p. Agren is the
general contractor, and though some
times both he and his foreman, Ole
Solberg, in some of the discussions
that always have to take place be-
tween contractor and contractee, have
said things in the Swedish language
that were hard to understand and
easier to take when you didn't under
stand them, we're right here to say
that they, like all the others mention
ed above, have done what we shall
believe is mighty good work until
proven different.
The Sun is proud of its new build
ing, which, with the moving, will cost
so close to $4,000 that any change
coming back goes into any old pocket
careless whether it has a hole In 1t
or not. We have a suspicion that
Flagstaff people generally are proud
of the building and The Sun as an
institution.
Anyhow, we feel that you ought to
be, because it has grown up here IN
your own town, our growth merely
reflecting your own growth. IT we
are sometimes alluded to by other
newspapers in the state as the largest
weekly in the state, and by others as
the largest weekly in the southwest,
the credit is as much due Flagstaff
as The Sun; and in that connection,
the fact that The Sun is thus regard
ed by fellow-publishers and generous
" admitted is good advertising for
Flagstaff.
The Sun has attained this growth
and small measure of fame by con-
sistently, in season and out, whether
the times were bad, good or flush,
boosting for Flagstaff and its inter-
eSts. Your business interests and
business welfare have been ours.
Your hopes and aspirations have been
ours. Your success has been pleasant
to us and we have tried to show 1t.
We didn't want to nor try to grow at
YOUR expense but merely as natural
consequence of faithfully and earnest
lv helping to promote your growth
and success.
The Sun always has tried to build
up. not tear down. If you are in
business here, and your success Is
good for the town, we're for you, and
will boost for you, no matter whether
or not you speak to us when you meet
us on the street.
The Sun can say this without boast
ing or exaggeration: If you have
noted as you have read The Sun week
after week during the past years, or
if YOU were to come to this office and
90 through the back files of The Sun,
YOU have found in it or can find, col
umns each week and hundreds of col
umns each year of unpaid news and
editorial matter boosting this section
and this town and our resources and
enterprises. You have seen or can
see an aggregate of printed matter OF
this sort that has cost The Sun many
thousands of dollars to prepare and
print and which has been ungrudg-
ingly prepared and printed when IN
clination toward economy or lazlness
would otherwise have prevented, IN
the sole hope that preparing and
printing it would be beneficial to the
community at large.
Sometimes it has seemed as If
doing this, at all this added expense,
and publishing an all-home-print pa
per of 70 to 112 columns each week
when many other towns as large or
larger than Flagstaff-some even in
Arizona-seldom if ever have more
than as columns a week, was going
too strong and it might be well to
save part of that money.
