Remodeled to House City
Meat and Grocery.

When Contractor John N. Rautio ano
his crew removed the builders coverings
from the remodeled first avenue side OF
the James Block, to which also an adj
dition had been built, one of the most
handsome store fronts and show win
dows in the northwest was disclosed.
The building had been rebuilt and re-
modelled for John Buccowich, pro-
prietor of the City Meat and Grocery,
who transferred his business to the new
quarters and was ready for the trade
when the coverings from the front was
removed.
An entire new stock of meats and
groceries has been placed in the hand
some and modern new refrigerated
show cases and on the shelves
The new store adds materially to the
appearance of First Avenue The plate
glass front of the Buccowich store covers
the entire length of the store, 43 feet,
and furnishes beautiful display facilities
besides abundant light.
The basement contains the machinery
for the refrigeration plants of the cooler
systems. 1t also furnishes abundant
storage space. The store is fitted with
all new fixtures, lights and linoleum

Mr.. Buccowich is to be congratulated
on supplying Ely with another modern
and up-to-date store for which this city
is famous

modernly equipped store and market,
from which Mr., Buccowich removed,
went on as usual, John Kapsch serving
patrons on the cash and carry plan

Mr.. KapSch has been in the meat and
grocery business in the city for years
and needs no introduction to Ely
patrons.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

What would you do? Yes,
that's right, we feel the same
way about it. We are thinking
of the holdup men who robbed
a garage; knocked out the at
tendant and left after driving
a spike through one of his
hands, mailing him to a bench
and clamping the other hand in
a wise. Is it any wonder the
Omen have orders to shoot first
and talk it over afterwards?
