OCCUPIED BY THEM AND HUDSON DRUG STORE In keeping with the advancement and development going on in this dis trict . Graham’s Hall can be pointed to as a contributor to the refinement of community life. The Graham Hall, which was re cently completed and opened is one of the finest dance halls in the state. Mr. Graham has gone to great ex pense ingthe construction of this hall, the floor alone, which is built of ma ple, costing something over $3,000.00. This floor is said by experts to be the inest to be found anywhere. In fact, it is doubtful if there is another hall of this kind in the entire state that can be said to be better constructed or to be attaining greater popularity in its use than is this hall. The large patronage which is al ready enjoyed by this hall is an indi cation of the ability of the manage- merit to conduct a dance hall that is in keeping with every propriety. Per sonal attention is given to seeing that these gatherings are free from every possible objectionable feature, and are .of a clean, high moral tone. In fact, this institution has already es tablished a reputation for its whole someness, which reputation is known throughout a great part of the state. For a community of this size to support an up-to-date dance hall, such as this once, is indeed unusual and shdws its progressiveness. Mr- Graham is also one of our substan tial citizens who is showing by his heavy investments in the community that he has faith in this district be ing one most promising, and the pa tronage it has already received is an indication that his faith is well- founded. »■ « Three-quarter acre tract of lettuce on C.
