Service Tailoring Company's Life
CONCERN
OFFERING BEST
Brownsville Tailoring Com
pany In Business Here
Over Long Span

A tailoring company exists on its
service and efficiency. If its work is
not of high quality, if the deliveries
are not prompt, if suits do not fit,
the customers naturally gravitate to
other establishments.
The Brownsville Tailoring COM
pany, 1920 Elizabeth street, has been
in operation here for many years
and is now at its highest point of
success. This means that the COM
pany has not only been able to make
many regular customers and hold
them, but that it is growing with
the city, drawing customers from
the ranks of the newcomers to the
Valley.
The company is owned and per-
sonally supervised by Fritz Schmidt,
who has lived in Brownsville since
1921. He has had much experience
in the mems furnishing and tailor
ing lines. He began in this work in
1910.
The Brownsville Tailoring COM
pany deals in mems made to meas
ure suits, cleaning and pressing,
dyeing, etc. Three lines Of goods
for suits are handled. They are
Scotch Wooden Mills, Myer and Co.,
and Storrs-S chaefer, all of which
are old and well established lines.
They are reasonably priced. After
measurement, it usually takes from
10 to IL days to get the suits back
after BENZ tailor made. This is be-
lieved to be one of the fastest ser-
vices of 1t skind in the city. Meas
urements for suits are made by ex-
perts and a fit is absolutely guar
anteed.
The dry cleaning Is done by one
of the most modern and efficient
processes known as Gloverizing.
The new euipment was recently in
stalled when the plant was thor
oughly gone over. One-day service
is rendered on dry cleaning.
MI. Schmidt maintains an eff
ficient staff, headed by an expert on
alterations. Alterations are one of
the most important things in tail
oring," Schmidt says. "a slight err
ror in alteration will almost entirely
ruin a suit whereas the correct al
teration will make it perfect. I be-
lieve I have the best man on alter
atoms in the Valley"
The Brownsville Tailoring COM
pany has thrived on service. AS
stated above. if people aren't salts
fled with the work done by a tailor,
they go to another. And the local
concern has grown steadily here
over a long span of years.

DURING 1928.

Montana takes the lead of all west

according to figures assembled by the
Montana Automobile association. A
total of $50 crossings were taken

Grade crossings are eliminated in
two ways, by grade separation by
means of the underpass or overpass
and by the relocation of highways. Of
the $50 crossings in question, LOT

excluded by relocation of highways.

DAIRY COW BECOMING
BIG ASSET TO STATE.
emery Butter Production Jumps
13,C0G, 600 Pounds in
Ii Years.

The dairy COW is rapidly becoming
one of the chief assets of Montana
farmers, says J. o. Tretsven, extern
sion dairy specialist at Montana State
One daily prluct, creamery butter,
has increSased fom 100000 pounds
in 1914 II 100000 pounds in 1928,
according to dafy statistics. Over t.
100000 pounds of butterfat were
shipped oNt of the state in 1928 for
manufacture. There has been a
marked increase in the amount of
cheese and ice cream manufactured
in the state, and Montana shipped out
more than 100000 pounds of butter
last year.
Mr.. Tretsven cites the herd owned
by c. H. Gordan of Roman, as one of
the outstanding members of the Mon
tana Dairy Herd Improvement asso-
Citations. This herd had an average of
4SS pounds of butterfat per COW for
the year, the highest average of any
association herd, and indicates how
Montana dairymen are keeping up
with the ever increasing demand.
Certain areas fitted for dairying,
Mr.. Tretsven believes, are especially
adapted to forage crops of high quail
ity. Alfalfa hay, root crops and corn
yield we'll in most irrigated sections
of the state and furnish excellent food
for the dairy COW.
The natural adaptability of some
sections of the state to dairying has
encouraged the introduction of herds
of high grade and purebred dairy cat
tie. Careful management, as is evil
denced by Mr.. Gordan's production
average, has made the industry prof
liable. Practically all of the members
of the Montana Dairy Herd Improve
ment associations maintain averages
that compare favorably with some of
the older dairy states.

The Soldiers Home ambulance first

stop the Washington apparatus.
Leonard and his men arrived at Col

paratus had completed transferring the
patient and was pulling away. A mo-
ment later the Casualty Hospital am
bu'ance arrived.
Several county firemen hailed the
Washington rescue squad as it hurried
back. but it would not stop.

the hospital in comfort Chief Leonard
explained this morning. There were
two inclosed ambulances there-ours and
Casualtys-and yet they took the poor
man to the hospital lying on bunch
of hose"
Daugherty was placed in a ward at
the hospital. where it was said he
was "in good condition" this morning,
showing no effects of the excitement
he caused last night.

Leonard pointed out this morning that
the county rescue squads ambulance is
housed in Bladensburg. only about
three city blocks from Daugherty's resi-

whole matter lightly, but declared he
thought the Washington fire board
lawfully foolish" in sending a COM
