Commence now before the rush, while you can get plenty of material cheap and while mechanics are not crowded with work. Every season repeats itself: A big rush late in the season and a lull "in the early spring time when the violets bloom." We have a fine stock of lumber and we are equipped to get out detail work for the finest kind of finish. A superior quality of buildings are what we are looking for this season, now that the permanence of the town and country is assured. . . - J. B. STODDARD, Manager. "THE GOLCONDA" M5j D. M.
