Furniture store

Furniture store
E. H. Chew has brought of Ed R. Bonnell Lot 5 in block 10, corner of Livingston and Pinon Sts. Mr. Chew will erect a building two stories.(Seems it only was a 1 story building) If there is sufficient brick it will be a brick building. Mr. Chew intends to open a furniture store as soon as the building is completed. This is a much needed enterprise and this is a first class opening for the furniture trade. Mr. Chew being a congenial gentleman and a thorough business man, he will be a great acquisition to our mountain city and we give him a hearty welcome.
