Building in City’s Residential Section Progresses Nicely
Mr. Mose Slusky advises that those who
contemplate building should begin at
once as quotations on all metal goods for
delivery next six months are actually
higher than the retail prices being ask
ed today.
With these conditions prevailing, Mr.
Slusky believes that it would be the part
of good business for those who contem
plate building or repairing to book their
orders now without further delay.
Out-of-town business in the building
line is splendid—the high prices not hav
ing any unfavorable effect.
We were not able to get in touch with
Mr. Herman Oellerich, the plumbing ex
pert, this week at all. He must have
been out of the city finishing up that
work he was on last week. Seems to
be keeping busy, too.
We passed the plant of Mr. Kohlruss,
the stone and marble man, the day the
baseball season opened. Yes, we were
going to the game, but Mr. Kohlruss was
not. He seemed to be very busy, and his
plant was “humming” along under the
electric driving apparatus that he has in
stalled. We did not stop, but, he seemed
to be very busy. \

We heard a lady remark that the back
ground on the billboards at the New
Modjeska theatre was certainly a work ot
art. According to the “trade-marks” on
these boards, they are made by the Mil
ligan Advertising Agency, and no doubt
come from the brush handled by Harry
Furman who is now with that firm.
A. H. McDaniel reports splendid
business from the country districts and
is fair enough to give the local news
papers credit for a large percentage
of the sales. He tells us that he finds
that the Builders' Section of The Her
ald is causing much favorable com
ment and that he is of the opinion that
no better medium could be found car
rying the message of a firm engaged
in this kind of business.
We thank you, Me., for this kind ex
pression of appreciation and we are
just modest enough to agi-ee with you.
The New Home Electrical Contract
ing Company have secured the con
tract for the electrical work on the
new Masonic Temple. Mr. Kroll, the
manager, in talking to a Herald re
porter, said that he felt very proud in
deed in being the one who won. "That
is going to be' some big job,” he said,
"and I feel very good over it.” We sup
pose that work in the wiring will com
mence shortly, as the contractors are
making rapid progress with their part
of the work.
We could not locate Mr. Gibbs, the
Corbin Builders’. Hardware man with
Mr. John J. Evans, at all this week. He
was out chasing up some new con
tracts, we suppose.
The new building being erected by
Mr. W. .F Bowe, Jr., for Mr. Phinizy
on Jackson street, is certainly coming
along at a rapid rate. That is going
to be one of the very prettiest business

We were invited out to the stone and
marble yards of A. H. Nichols & Bro.
this week to look ever a very large
shipment of stone and marble for mon
umental purposes, but were very sor
ry indeed that we could not make it.
However, we will take the word of Mr.
A. H. Nichols for it, that it is one of
the largest and prettiest lots ever re
ceived by their firm.
Bob Dressel must be keeping mighty
busy these days, as we called at his
office three times in the hope of catch
ing him in, but were told that he was
out "on the job.” Old Bob is turning
out some mighty classy signs during
tthese building days. Says that he is
getting some nice out of town orders,
too.
The popular plumbing firm, D. J.
Looney & Son, are keeping right in
behind their jobs these days, and are
handling quite a bunch of work. “We
are getting our share of work in the
installation as well as the repair end
of the plumbing business," said Mr.
Looneey to a Herald man a few days
ago. Here’s hoping they get worlds
more of it.
The mantels for the Burdell resi
dence on the Hill, recently built by
Woodward £ Mobley, were made by
the Home Cabinet Company. They are
also making a very fine one for the
Murphey residence. They are also
building several cedar chests for Mr
Walton. This concern, while young,
will tackle any kind of a Job and when
they finish with it it is well done.
The Whitney McNeil Electric Com
pany has just secured the contract for
wiring the residence of Mr. Jos. McK.
Speer on the Goshen plantation, also
the Lincoln county court house. This
concern specializes on wiring residen
ces and other buildings where electric
current is not available but where pri
vate plants are used for generating
the current, as in both the above
cases,
The Dixie Tile & Plaster Company
did the ttle and cement floor and the
plaster work on the Stag, the new

within the next few days at the Wise

E. A. Demore is at present installing
the hot air furnace and putting on the
slate roof on the Hunt residence on
the Hill. This residence is being built
by Sibert & Robinson.
The Lee CanipbeU Plumbing &
Heating Company have secured the
contract for the plumbing work in the
Maxwell and Dugaa apartments that
are under course of construction on
lower Broad street.

Several Recruits
For National Guard
During Past Week
National Guard recruiting is not
progressing with any great strides but
is doing very well. The men enUsted
are for companies A, B and D, Nation
al Guards of Georgia. Lieutenant
Robert Sherman, who is in charge of
the station together with his two as
sistants. Sergts. McElhanney and Hen
derson, have been doing excellent
work endeavoring to secure recruits. »
They have enlisted nineteen men by
hard work and perseverance.
Seventeen men have been shipped
to Savannah by the lieutenant. Savan
nah is the headquarters of the First
Regiment and these recruits will there
be instructed in military drill and
maneuvers. Upon the completion of
their schooling they will bo sent back
to Augusta, and will be assigned to
the companies in which they enlisted.
Marvin J. Ivey and David L. Morgan
enlisted in the Guards Friday. They
did not leave with the other seventeen
recruits but will be sent to Savannah
in the near future.
The Richmond Hussars is as yet not
accepting recruits. The troop has or
ders to remain at mimtmum peace
strength, which is 70 men. The Hus
sars have more than that number, hav
ing 84 enlisted men. Capt. Garrett in
speaking of the matter, however, stat
ed that the troop would not be reduced
to 70 men, but that several of the Hus
sars would be mustered out as they
had people dependent upon them. This
will reduce the number of the troop
but not to the minimum field strength.
Capt. Garrett says that for the pres
ent men will not be recruited to fill the
vacancies as his orders instruct against
recruiting, but he has hopes of re
ceiving orders permitting him to enlist
within the next few days.
The Hussars was open to the re
ceipt of applieantions a few days ago,
application papers being issued to sev
eral young Augustans.
As soon as it became known that ap
plications were being received names
began to pour in, and in an hour or two
after opening enough applications had
been recruited, something like thirty
four men having filed application,
while numerous others were petition
ing that their applications might
be accepted.
The war strength of a cavalry troop
is 105 enlisted men. The thirty'-four
applicants or the portion of them best
suited for the Hussars will bring the
troop up to full strength even if re
duced to the 70 men minimum of peace
strength. ...
One of the applicants for the Hus
sars, Marvin J. Ivey, has enlisted with
one of the local Infantry companies.
The young men who have made ap
plication for the Hussars are:
J. L. Johnson, Owen Riley. Edgar
Smith, Frank M. Wright, Legarde
Doughty, A. Howell Patterson, Hen
ry P. Trott, l’ickens Ramsey, Joe I.evy,

Like the nails and screws, the electrical work should go Into your
building to last as long as the structure Itself.
If the electric wiring Is Installed by a reliable, competent con
tractor of standing, it WILL serve you well. But if It Is cheap In
price and quality, you are only Inviting trouble.
F’erhapß you may never know all Is not right until the day of
trouble comes. THEN It will be a mighty expensive Job to find the
trouble and have repaired, or have the whole defective system replaced.
