any building in the country.
]. r. Fitzpatrick
| One of the most enterprising busi-
ness men of the town is J. R. Kilpat-
rick, the popular general merchant
and postmaster of Flagstaff. Mr.
Fitzpatrick came to the town and esta-
blished his business in November,
| 1883.
When the fire occurred, like his
neighbors, he lost everything in his
store; there was not even time to
save the stamps belonging to the
postoffice. Within few days he had
temporary frame building erected
on the back part of the lot on which
the destroyed building had been stu
ated, and resumed business, getting
! in a stock of goods as rapidly as
possible, and here the mercantile busi-
ness and the postoffice was carried
on for some months. In the mean
time he commenced the erection of a
/ solid brick, fireproof building on the
corner of Railway and Gold avenue.
This building was completed and occu-
pied about two months since. 1t Is
substantially built of brick, with no
woodwork exposed on the exterior and
furnished with metal roof, also iron
doors and shutters to the windows.
1t is considered thoroughly fireproof
to all exterior influences.
DIR. ID. ]. Brannen & Co.
DR.. D. j. Brannen & Co. have just
completed and opened new store
on Railroad Avenue, opposite the
railway depot, which is a perfect
little gem, surprising anything be-
tween Albuquerque and San Francisco
in tasteful decoration and finish. The
structure is of brick, with capa-
cious basement the whole size of the
building. There is doctors office,
etc, on the first floor behind the
store. A drug store has long been
needed in Flagstaff, for while drugs
could be obtained at the offices of
the doctors, the frequent absence of
these gentlemen in attendance on
their patients made it often impos-
sible to obtain articles that were fre-
uuently needed The firm also keeps
! a supply of toilet and fancy articles,
cigars, candies and fine stationery.
James ONeill

John Sanderson
