Show Business and Trade The seasonable lethargy of the summer is in evidence in business in this city and throughout the county, and yet there is ample evidence of business bus-iness vitality, push and energy on all sides. It is reported by every observant business man and salesman who goes either North or South that on his return re-turn to this city he finds here a keener interest in business, a livelier commercial atmosphere than elsewhere in the valley, ' and it is certainly true that the progress m this city is so conspicuous con-spicuous that every one interested inter-ested may be congratulated thereon. General business conditions are excellent, the merchants reporting good sales, and they also continue to report that an unusual percentage of their sales are for cash. Building operations m this city are proceeding steadily, and at a rate that will make an excellent showing at the end of the season. Construction is rapidly ra-pidly going on at the new Elite Theatre, upon the Gunderson block, upon the new home of John Stansfield, upon the new home of Peter Lund, and there is an unusual activity in remodeling remod-eling dwellings. |
