FAULKNER and
HARRIS CONFER
ON MAIL issue
HOLDER OF CONTRACT, RE-
GENTLY AWARDED, VERY
OPTIMISTIC OVER FUTURE
OF KEY WEST

Charles James Faulkner, who
was awarded the mail delivery
contract, beginning August l, for
delivery of mails between Key
West and Miami ending June
80, 1910, believes the construc-
ton of the bridges will mean nm
dreamed of prosperity for Key
West.
Mr.. Faulkner was in Key West
yesterday discussing with Post
master Sam Harris schedules and
routes and other detail of the
mail service, and it was at that
time he made a number of very
optimistic statements in connec-
ton with the bridges and what
the through road will eventually
mean to the Keys and Key West.
He said that he was confident
that the increase in land values
would be unheard of and that
when the bridge was actually
opened to traffic prices of ada
cent property would go skyrock-
citing.
From what he has heard, it is
his prediction that sat least IS
percent of the people who go to
Miami by automobile will end
their pi grimage south at the
southernmost city in the United
States, and many of them will be
prospective purchasers of proper
ty."
Telling OF the equipment he
Will place in service for the two
mails daily between Miami and
Key West, Mr.. Faulkner said he
had two fine boats, each with twin
engines and sustained speed of
20 knots per hour for the water
gaps. For the. land reaches, he
has three new trucks. He intends
to give speedy service and make
every trip on tine, except when
prevented by unavoidable occur
rences, he said. ..a-

APPELROUTH TO
ENLARGE STORE
PRELIMINARY WORK WILL
BE THAT OF LOWERING
FLOOR TO SIDEWALK

Plans are now beng made by
l. Appelrouth, proprietor OF The
Store of Fashion to remodel the
building now occupied by the
store.
Mr.. Appelrouth will start next
week on the preliminary work of
lowering the stores floor down to
a level with the sidewalk.
When present pans are carried
out the building will be made
wider and will take in the space
between this building and the
Renedo Building allowing consid-
cradle additional display room in
the store.
Large spacious show-windows,
modelled from those usually seen
on modern stores in larger cities,
will replace the present ones.
While actual work of lowering
the floor will begin next week,
the work of enlarging the store
will not start until Mr.. Appel
routh's return from his buying
trip at Eastern markets.
Mr.. Appelrouth is now clearing
the store of summer merchandise
so that the store will be in read
mess when the work starts.
