y new store is opening its doors
in El Centro this morning with an
invitation to the shopping public
Of the valley to look over its wares.
Many years ago in Chicago, a
man started in business on a small
scale He conceived the idea of
branching out into the mail-order
business and from his idea has
sprung the firm of Montgomery
Ward. The firm progressed rapidly
and new ideas arrived to fit mod
ern needs.
One of the latest was the or
ganization of branch of chain
stores. 1t met immediate success.
1t was tried out first in a small
eastern town with the result tina:
nearly the entire stock placed in
that store was sold on the first day
Of business.
The chain idea gained immediate
headway and resulted in the ere
alton of stores in all corners of the
country. 1t spread 10 the west and
California and today, the opening
of branch store in FL Centre
marks the 22nd MontgomcryWard
store in this state.
Its stock is most varied one
II offers for sale almost any ar.

new BUILDING
IS IMPROVEMENT
FOR Ell CENTRO
Modern Structure Erases
Old Residence in City's
Busy District.

Fl Centre is not only given n new
place to shop and modern business
building in the new home of the
Montgomcry-Wa store on West
Main street. but the Improvement
has erased AN old residence from the
citY's business heart.
While the large dwelling that oc-
cupicd the site was more or less OF
. landmark, it's location in the bust
ness district Of the city was rather
disrupting in nature.
The new cdifice is modern in
structure and q credit to the bust
ness district Of the town.
The building was erected by the
Hunter and Lippman Construction
Company Of Los Angeles, general
contractors. The Valley Lumber com
pany Of FL Centre supplied the ma
lority Of the materials for the build
ing while the excavation work was
done by the international Transfer
and Warehouse Co., Inc, Of Calex-
leo. A. r. Meaghcr was in direct
charge of the excavation work.
Practically all Of the material
used in the building of the new
structure was furnished by the Val.
lev Lumber Company. Included in
this material is 100000 feet of lum-
Der, a carload of maple flooring and
some 800 yards of sand and rock.
In addition the lumber company put
on the roof of the building which
is a Ccrtain-Tced built-up guaran-
tced roof Paraffine paint was used
in the building.
The building has basement,
ground floor and meZzaninc floor. 1t
is practically fircproof and its ex
terror is of concrete. Considerable
tile work has been used in its finish
and the main floor provided with
three spacious windows.
An added feature is the cooling
system which is at present still un,
perfected. a delay in some of the
equipment used in this system has
held mp its completion but it is ex-
pcctcd that this will arrive within
4 few days. The new system, it is
sand, will give a complete change in
the AR each five minutes.

New Store Gives
Patrons Saving

Discussing the prices to be offered
at the Montgomery-Ward store here,
Manager Lellane explained this
this morning that the patrons would
be given the benefit of the saving
realized from cheaper transportation
rates.
"Shipment Of goods here from our
main headquarters will Of course
mean Il greater saving in transporta-
tion from the rate that articles
shipped singley would neccsstate, -
declared LeIIanc. 'This means that
we will be able to almost offer our
goods at the catalogue rate to our
patrons.
"Ths is one Of the features that
has made our chain store system Il
great success. The chain store en-
ables the patron to not only buy
the article itself ut cost lesser
than the catalogue rate plus the
transportation rate, bat it enables
them to see the article itself before
such purchase is made.

Mules Enjoy Ride
After Days Work

Even n mule likes to ride home
after the days work is ended.
This was proved in the erection
of the building on Main street which
now houses the new Montgomery
Ward chain store.
While cxacavting for the building
il was necessary to put the finish
ing touches to the work with the
aid of mules and the contractor
faced the problem of how to get
them in and out 1t was solved by
attaching the Maudes' TO the
steam shovel by rope and blanket
and lowering them in and pulling
them out.
The mules furnished some queer
expressions as their feet left the
ground but once on the hoist they
seemed to enjoy the ride.
