built buildings in the Butte business district are constructed
with brick made by this firm.
They also have a sand and gravel washing plant, from
which they furnish the finest of these materials necessary
to good concrete constructor. The liftime of any concrete
construction is entirely dependent on the quality of the ma
terals going into it, and this firm provides only the best
of these materials.
They have instituted no raise in prices in recent years,
although the last decade has seen a tremendous initiation of
prices in all lines of business all over the country.
These are just a few of the reasons why this concern is
one of the most important cogs in the Silver Bow county
commercial wheel, and if you are planning a building of any
sort you will find it interesting and profitable to learn of
their plans for serving you in its construction.

BLAZE AT DOVER
CAUSES CONCERN
Gasoline Truck of 1000 Gal
Ions Driven by Nervy Youth
i'm the Nick of Time
FIRE DAMAGE S25, 900

Probable destruction by fire of a
large section of Dover was pre-
vented early Monday morning by
the daring act of Virdin Craig.
aged about 25 years. Craig who
is a truck driver for a local oil
company ran one of the trucks
loaded with 1000 gallons of gasoline
out of the garage of John C.Hayes,
which was on fire, with the rear of
the truck ablaze at the time. The
Robbins Hose Company, who were
fighting the fire turned a hose on
the burning truck extinguishing
the blaze as soon as Craig got it
outside the building. The fire
started in the large stable and barn
of Cove S. Johnson on New street.
south of Loockerman street short
ly after 1 o'clock Monday morn
ing. This stable is practically sur
rounded by frame structures and
the daring act of Craig, the fact
that there was practically no wind
at the time and the excellent work
of the local firemen assisted later
by the Camden-Wyoming Fire
Company, probably prevented a
most disastrous fire. AS it was,
the damage to the johnson proper
ty, to the Hayes garage and sever
al adjoining buildings with con-
tents amounted it is estimated to /
between $4,000 and 5000. Most
of this loss is said to be covered bv
insurance. The origin of the fire
has not been determined but a few
after it was discovered
and by the time the firemen arriv-
I'd the Johnson stables in which
here was large amount of hay,
