Manzanita at Turkey creek was de-
layed during the past week about
four days while the crew of 18 men
employed in excavations and building
there were shifted by Mrs. E .E.

With the recent rains the road was
completely washed out and large
boulders appeared in the road beu
making it almost impossible to nego.
tiate the distance between the en-
trance of the canyon and the rancho.
The men worked over a distance
of seven miles, covering the road
with dirt and digging out poulders
making it possible Tor cars to pass
over.
The work on the hostelry OF the
Rancho Manzanita was resumed Sat-
Urday morning and frames to hold
cement for the foundation are now
going up. Tt is expected that the
concrete foundation of the main
house will soon be in place.
Three carloads of lumber and build

manager of the J. G. Penney store
in this city.
This is clearly shown in the volume
of business that is being done at
retail at the present time, especially
in such necessities as dry goods and
other department store merchandise.
The store keeper who is on the
watch for new customers can ges
them in steadily increasing numbers.
This is clearly shown by the increase
in business done by the j. G. Penney
stores in the past six months over
the same period of last year This
increase amounts to S136S7692 and
is the largest increase shown by any
large store operating company.
New customers are coming into
every town in the country, brought
by motor cars and trains They are
buying over the counter at q greater
rate than ever before and they are
showing excellent Judgment in their
selection of materials and styles
The constant migration of families
by motor car, the influx of tourists
and the general movement of the
population of the country is also
affording the local merchants a rare
chance for increasing sales volume
Advertising, Cooperation with GUS
toners, attractive store fronts ano
the faculty of being wide awake to
the new business conditions which
modern transportation has created will
serve to make any well organized

The time is ripe for local business

their respective cities by furnishing
attractions and conveniences which
will bring the travelling population

KAzALS TAKE LARGER QUARTERS
AS One OF FIRST MOVES TOWARD
GREATER PROSPERITY IN DOUGLAS

Coming as one of the first really
big and progressive moves toward
the building of a bigger and better
Douglas commercially is the moving
of the Kazal brothers into their new
and better quarters at the corner
of Tenth street and avenue Kazal
brothers have operated a first class
grocery store in this city for many
years past. They have operated with
the one idea, that in order to hold
the trade they must supply the
very best of everything and give real
service with the product.
That idea sticks out all over the
Kazal store. 1t was plain to the
eye in the stores they have operated
in the past and in this new one
they have spared no expense in the
fitting of the establishment to make
it harInonize with the goods they
will display there.
This is the largest. grocery store
with an exclusive grocery and meat
business in this part of the SOUTH
west. The great theater auditorium
has been made to lend itself to the
demand OF new business and will
prove as fine a display and sales
room as any to be found anywhere.
The spectacular manner in which
the rebuilding has taken place, with
a crew of men working night and
day for the past weeks to get the
place ready for the opening, has
added impetus to the thought that
this town has come to the place
where expansion is not only proper
but absolutely necessary.
In reviewing the new store it will
be interesting to the thousands of
visitors and regular customers to know
something about the people who have
been connected in the past few weeks
with the creation of the new location
In the first place the Commerce
Realty and Trust company were as
sociated with the Kazal brothers
in the purchasing of the big building
that not only houses the new store
but holds the offices of a number
of very important concerns.

were given the contract for the re-
modelling of the theater end of the

in the prosperous war times and was

BERLIN SWINDLERS
USE CALLING CARDS

BERLIN. R--4Stealing calling cards
from house doors has become a favor
ite sport of German sWindlers. Cards
with high sounding titles are especi-
ally sought.
In Germany persons are often in
troduced merely by the fact that the
introducer gives the person to be in
troduced his visiting card. A clever
swindler, who obtains possession of the
visiting card of Baron x and knows
that Baron x is a good friend of
Count Y can negotiate "touch" quite
effectively by using Baron KS calling
card and as card of introduction to
Count Y.
Since calling cards tackled to the
wall next to bell button or affixed
in lieu of name plates are often soiled,
the swindler also tries to steal calling
cards by pretending to call on man
with strong social connections. While
the servant announces his name, the
swindler helps himself to the calling
cards in the tray Of the ante-room.

OF tearing this theater, out and
changing both the interior and the
exterior OF the building for the
new business has been accomplished
in very fast time and very efficiently.
The lumber and other kindred ma
terials for the building were furnished
by the Douglas Lumber company,

its kind in the state. The use OF
this material carries out the Kazal

arrangements have been secured and
the work has been done in a very

being very neat and efficient.
Paint with which TO brighten up
the store rooms and the entranNes
and woodwork throughout the estab-
lishment came from the Douglas

class paints. Here again only The
best and most durable was used.
The plumbing and refrigeration, two
OF the most important parts OF a

said about this part of the business.
Kazals sell fresh meat. They guar
antee that it is fresh and good. They
guarantee that their establishment is

plumbing and refrigeration because
he was able to guarantee first class
materials and first class workman

The big job of moving a big grocery
and meat business that has taken

many difficulties. There are things
