Look Around
For a moment at the great
armyv of business men who
pass daily in review on our
busiest streets. Can't you
invariably select from among
them the prosperous and the
successful? You may not
realize it, but your impres
sion is gleaned from the

cessful men regard good
dressing as of the essence.

the prosperous element be
cause we have the materials
with which to build and the
workmen who know how to
utilize them. Our clothes
cost but little more than
ready-to-wear garments.

torney John S7 Williams has been in

whole group of buildings from either
the Copper Queen smelter or the Calu
met & Arizona smelter. If the rate for
power can he made satisfactory and
the company can afford to supply it.
the county prefers to get the power
from one of the big smelters, as it is
safer. It is claimed by some that if
the county is to put in its own plant it
would have to "be aCTou"5Te one, owjng to
the fact that during important opera
