OUT OF THE ASHES
OVER $4,000 FOR BUILDING
EXPANSION OF BUSINESS
MORE NEW HOMES
MANIFESTATION
A year ago at this time Sank
Centre was at a low ebb owing to
the loss Of business through two
disastrous fires. Five of the city's
largest business establishments
were closed, or found themselves
unable to do business as holiday
stocks were destroyed. Cities sur
rounding Sank Centre took advan-
tage Of the situation and received
the business which rightfully
should have been left here.
During the year these business
places have been reestablished and
new buildings have been erected to
house them. New crisp stocks Of
holiday merchandise adorn not only
their shelves, but the display count
ers Of every store in Sank Cen
tire. Sank Centre merchants are
again ready to care for the needs
Of the holiday shopper in every
day as well as gift merchandise.
Large fires are disastrous, and
aside from the immediate loss in
money, they entail also huge loss
to business enterprises. No one can
say that a fire aids a community's
progress when good buildings are
destroyed-but the new buildings
which have been erected as a result
of the fires are a splendid improve
ment to the business section of
Sank Centre. Out Of the ashes-a
better Sank Centre.
During the year these new build
ings, with other business structures
erected under a business expansion
program, the widening of Third
Street, erection Of new homes, i'm
provement Of the fair grounds and
Identification Of the park resulted
And that building program produc-
ed measure Of prosperity for Sank
Centre.
Now that Sank Centre has beer
rebuilt and the last business place
ruined by fire has been located in
its permanent home, Sank Centre
offers shoppers greater variety Of
holiday merchandise than ever be-
fore.
Expressing faith in the progress
and stability of our City, four bus
mess men have made substantial
improvements, necessitated by an
expansion program, and among the
improvements in the residential
district are three new homes, OF
excellent construction. Better bust
ness and better homes are closely
related in the program of progress
A program of Identification was
launched this year, which includes
improvement not only to the park
but plans to beautify the approach
es of the city as well. Identification
will continue until Sank Centre il
a city Of more than average beauty
1887 has been a year Of great
progress for Sank Centre. Beautifi
cation for a better place to live; ex
pansion for business improvement
building for prosperity; new homes
for INABILITY; new stocks for better
trade; out of the ashes, a great
er Sank Centre.
We congratulate the men, who
have so expressed their faith in the
stability Of our city, and through
new buildings, have continued the
era Of progress, SO muck. in evi
dence during the past few years.
