A Dleaslng announcement is made
in .this issue of the Intention of W.
I. Calvin to aga'n remodel and re
furnish hie barber shop, next door
ho the iDOatoflfloe From the past
state-wide reputation of this shop it
can be confidently expected that Ua
termrlaa will continue to boast of
the most unique and finest equipped
tomsorial establishment in the whole
Northwe3t.
Mr Cailvin has a knack of doing
things that are not only up-to-date
but entirely original. Seven .years
ago he bu'Jit the present stone build
ing occupied by his shop. It was
recognized then that his plan and
equipment was far In advance of
what the town could afford, but he
proceeded to furnish end improve
lit until tt became the . meoca for
hundreds) x? vdaltors. transient and
otberwlM. In addition to the fine
buMJnc and turntebings it w al
so fete aim to keep the service
qua! to or better than could be se
cured in other cities. .
Old-timer teitiy that when It
cvme to pubUc spirit and boosting
for the public Interest Mr. Calvin
was and always has beau In tne
forefrontt He ha always subscribed
Uberallv to all community enter
prises and never shirked a respon
sibility. .
The iDublic will look (forward wltn
pleasure' to the further Improvement
of Calvin's Barber Shop, because
everyone realize that he knows how
to do It In the 'most unique and ap
proved fashion. He will no doubt
make lit one of the assets of the
pity , from an advertising standpoint,
to ably supplement the constant ef
forts of Its business instiiilutloae to
keep Enterprise In the lead.
The heating apparatus for the new
LI tch building Is in operation and
the big store roms are kept as
warm as desired by the numerous
resistors.
The Litch building marks a dis
tinct advance in the construction of
store and office buildings in this
county, and It is by long odds the
finest structure of the kind In the
county. No expense bos been spared
to make the building up-to-date in
every particular, and the teuanta
wKl revel In the comforts of "ail
molern conveniences. Steam heat
his been installed at a cost of over
$3000, the system used being the
same as in the -court house. Hot
waiter will also be furnished the
tenants. ' '
The big new store room is now
occupied by the grocery an 4 hard
ware departments of W. J. Punk
Co., while the tomj west la occu
pied bv Jackson & Weaver. The
Did Funk storeroom is being changed.
The office will be just back of the
rear archway between the two
rooms, while where the old office
was will be the airway to the of
flees on the sacond floor.
A special convenience of the funk
store is the large, well-lighted' base
ment, giving an immense space to
borage purposes in addition to we
warehouse.
There wEl be 9 office suites of
twn and thiree rooms each oa the
second floor, 11 bedrooms, ba'jhrooms,
closets and big. wide hams. Eacn
office has lits steam heat hot and
cold water pipes. The bedrooms are
large and well Wsh'ed and no douoi
will be In reat demand.
Altose'-her the new Liteh building
costs a l'3t of money and is a credit
to "the town and cojnty.
