SI ft i NATIONAL STORAGE COMPANY HAS MODERN PLACE TO STORE ALL GOODS. Autos, Pianos and Rugs Are Among Specialties of This Concern. Where fire cannot reach, nor moth nor rust corrupt Is the sanitary, fire proof structure of the National Storage company located in East Water street. Absolutely fireproof is the term which Is justly applied to this building. not aa Is so frequently applied .to buildings, but In its truest sense. Fire might start In the building. But It would not get very far, for there Is nothing about the building which can burn except a few wooden fixtures In the office. No Wood on Building. Wood has been tabooed to every possible extewt In the building of this storage plant, reinforced concrete and steel have been used exclusively with the exception of the doors and windows. Tho doors are of sheet iron and the windows of wire glass In steel, frames. The glass Is a wire net In-1 terwoven, so that should an adjolnilng building burn the windows could 'not break, and thus admit the possibility of fire. Especially sanitary Is the rug room, where expensive rugs are stored with absolute security against moths. The isecond floor has three hundred steel ilockers, each of which will contain one van load. All goods we thoroughly clean before they are put away, thus Insuring them against becoming contaminated In any way during the time they are in storage. Splendid facilities are provided for tho storing of pianos. A thermometer is kept in the room, and an even temperature maintained which assures that the pianos will be kept In good condition. Special piano covers offer still further protection to the pianos 'stored In this house. Autos Are Stored. The third floor is given over to automobiles. The machines are rested on jacks and are well cared for and all oil and gasoline are taken out of them. The room is kept locked so as to prevent any intrusion from outsiders. The plant has one-quarter of a million cubic feet of storage space. There are six floors with 25.000 square feet of space on each floor. The men who are engaged by the storage company are all experienced men in their various lines of work and handle all goods with care. A big elevator 10 by 17 feet In size with a capacity of 10,000 pounds, Is used in carrying the goods to their various floors. The company, which Is capitalized at $50,000, has the following officers: President, G. Van Eck; vice president, H. L. Vander Horst; secretary. T. William Hastings; treasurer, Edgar Kaseman. Ill mmi ST Hill EXiiis Latest Creations in Painty Garments to Be Shown by Fashionable Local Shop. Kalamazoo people, and Prosperity week visitors to Kalamazoo will be given an opportunity to share the prosperity of the LaMode shop during the big Prosperity week celebration. For the LaMode shop has made plans to feature some of the finest bargains which shoppers In Kalamazoo have ever known.

Theso are, however, secufed In the practical grades which make It possible to combine the newest bf styles with the best of values, a combination which appeals to the big mass of shoppers. RESIDENTS OF CLLF BEFIECT mm OF ITS HOME MLKERS Kalamazoo is a city of homes. That may be the reason why the city boasts some of the finest and most complete furniture stores to be found In any city of its size. Whatever may be the reason, the fact remains, that no city of its size In the state of Michigan offers to Its residents such splendid opportunities to buy beautiful furniture for their homes than does Kalamazoo. For Kalamazoo's furniture shops offer the newest and best, the most commendable furniture to be found anywhere in the state. Kalamazoo's home-makers are discriminating house-furnishers. And they have been aided In cultivating this discrimination by the splendid co-operation of the furniture houses of this city. There is not a line of period furniture which cannot be furnished by the furniture houses of Kalamazoo. It is exemplified In Its proper setting. In all the various kinds of wood, and nowhere Is to be found more complete stocks of high grade furniture than those which the Kalamazoo shops have to offer. Kalamazoo's furniture men are educated In furniture lines. And by the way. it is doubtful if there is any single line of merchandising which requires more careful study than that of the furniture business. To be a really capable furniture dealer, one must have not only an accurate knowledge of woods and their various treatment, but a still more accurate knowledge o^ history. One must know the different surroundings in which the great rulers of other ages and other countries lived, and the Influences which the various regimes had upon tho mode of life, and styles of furnishing. All this is necessary to the man who would select with authority for his clientele the right types of furniture. Added to all this there must be the element of adaptability In his training which enables hlnv to select style of furniture which shall embody correctness of line and dependableness of construction with utility suited to the demands of his clientele. And that's the sort of furniture dealers Kalamazoo has. They're specialists in house furnishing. They're not mere retailers of the output of furniture factories. Their stores give evidence of all this. And that's the reason shoppers come from far and wide to Kalamazoo to select the furniture with which to outfit their homes. In many of the shops model flats are fitted out, showing the proper combinations of furniture, while In still other shops furniture will be assembled upon notice to give the prospective customer the idea of the appearance of the room arranged with the furniture which may have been selected. It Is doubtful if anywhere furniture dealers give to their customers, more thoughtful, and courteous attention, ore more thoroughly reliable advince relative to house furnishing than, is to be secured In the shops of Kalamazoo. Indeed some of the house-furnlsh- Ing houses of Kalamazoo will take a contract for completely furnishing your house. Given a certain allowance. they will equalize it, in such a manner that when the house Is completed it shall be evenly and proportionately furnished In a manner which will give tho idea of completeness and balance. The Largest, Best and Only The Central police station, which is located on East Water street on the old site of the farmers market, was erected In 1913, after untiring efforts had been made by champions of a modern police force for the city to secure appropriation from the council. vmm KALAMAZOO TELEGRAPH-PRESH THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,1915. ^ Central Police Station : - rnmmmm mm ^ The quarters at present rival any j ward, billiard locker ana recreation in the state.

It is the most recent of municipal buildings to be erected. The Public Library Kalamazoo has held her head high whenever discussion of libraries came up during educational conventions In the state. The reason Is the neat little sandstone building you see in the picture. The structure with Its simple but artistic architectural trimmings is the gift of the ?ate Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Van Dusen, whose philanthropies and civic zeal will form part of th© history of the city. From 124 books whlcn comprised the nucleus of the public library in 1S72, the Institution has gradually swollen until today there are on the shelves of the Rose street building more than 50.000 volumes. The stages of the evolution of the library are marked by years of establishment In back rooms in down town office buildings until 1892 when the library at the corner of Rose and South streets became a reality. The main floor Is devoted to the library proper and reading and referi ence rooms. . The juvenile reading ttJVil ST0»U room and museum are located on the ground floor. An efficient corps of librarians are in charge and tho Institution Is closely allied with the city's educational organizations.

"Kalamazoo has some of the best style pickers when It comes to shoes of any city this side of Chicago." That's what a shoe expert said about Kalamazoo's shoe buyers not long ago. And that gives just a bit of an Inkling of the type of shoe stores of which Kalamazoo boasts. Nor does that mean that when one buys shoes in Kalamazoo one Is required to pay exorbitant prices because the shoes have the authoritative mark of the last style note. Not at all. For Kalamazoo's shoe stores offer shoes from every price, and every quality, two prime requisites being made for every shoe that Kalamazoo shoe dealers offer their customers, they are that the shoes shall be worthy, and that .they shall sound the proper styltf note. However, much Kalamazoo shoe shops may cater to the novelties in shoe styles (and there's no new style note which is not given a hearing in this city) the main effort Is to provide shoes which shall be reliable,- shoes which shall be worthy, and shoes which shall at the same time, be modish though practical in ntyle. However, there Is no depmnd that loom P I T HIVE HEPOTITL FDR EXPERT POOTOIIITORX Attractive Photograph Offered hi Many of Kalannmio's Camera Studios.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915 KALAMAZOO L The Asylum Water Tower TELEGRAPH-PRESS, BY Ml LINES FIVE STEAM AND TWO ELECTRIC ROADS BRING HUNDREDS OP VISITORS HERE DAILY. With five railroad lines, and two Interurban lines coming into Kalamazoo, there is no other city in Southwestern Michigan so well provided with transportation facilities as is Kalamazoo. And still the predictions are that even better facilities are to he offered us in the future. And to the splendid transportation facilities which Kalamazoo boasts is due in a very large measure, the splendid business which is hers. Because of the ease with which Kalamazoo may be reached at practically any hour of the day from any territory to the north, the south, the east or the west, hourly shoppers are pouring into Kalamazoo, every train bring- ^jg a big group of them. 'Unusually fine service is given to the east and west of Kalamazoo. On the main line of the Michigan Central the best trains which this great railroad company runs make Kalamazoo and offer unusually fine facilities for reaching the Celery City. The South .Haven branch of the Michigan Central furnishes transportation along the Jlne through to Lake Michigan, while the Fruit Belt line connects Kalamazoo with a string of prosperous towns along Michigan's great fruit belt. The New York Central lines connect Kalamazoo with a group of towns to the south reaching clear through to northern Indiana, while the Grand Trunk branch out of Kalamazoo connects with the main line of the Grand Trunk offering transportation facllitie* in this direction. Both north and .south connections are offered by the Grand Rapids and Indiana lines. The two interurbans are among the splendid adjuncts to Kalamazoo transpori.-tion facilities affording a line of int> rurban travel through to Detroit on the one, and to Grand Rapids on the other, connecting as well all the intervening towns along the line. Excellent as aye the transportation facilities for passenger traffic, they are r. quite as good, if indeed not better for freight traffic, all of which adds to the splendid advantages of Kalanazoo as an jndustrial center. W Indeed Kalamazoo is one of the most important shopping points in this section of the state, with its long list of manufacturing institutions, making monster shipments daily. 0 EITEP THIS CIH Elcctrlc and Steam Lines Give Easy Access to Kalamazoo-—The City of Prosperity. All roads lead to Kalamazoo. At least all roads over which shopperds travel lead directly to Kalamazoo. And after they reach the city they branch out into every direction, and at every angle. For there's not a single store in the entire city which does not have its clientele of trade from adjoining cities and towns. In every' line of business it is the same, and from every directior. come shoppers to Kalamazoo to take advantage of th#3 splendid shopping facilities which this city nas to offer. Indeed It Is conservatively stated that there is not a city in the state, not even excepting Detroit, in many instances which offers better shopping advantages that does Kalamazoo, and from quite as large a radius does Kalamazoo draw her business. From the east a distance of seventyfive miles finds along the route of the interurban line a large clintele of Kalamazoo shoppers. They come from as far east as Jackson to buy their clothing in Kalamazoo's stores. And 'from the north as far as Grand Rapids do the shoppers travel to .their favorite mart in Kalamazoo's \fetores. Since the new Grand Rapids interurban has been runir.ng an ever increasing number of shoppers from Plalnwell. Otesgo, Allegan and other towns in this direction take advantage of the splendid opportunities offered by Kalamazoo stores. From the west as far as Nlles they come to Kalamazoo, to do their shopping. Indeed Kalamazfto nas a large clientele of sh6ppers from Dowagiac, Niles and the intervening towns. From Decature. Lawton, Paw Paw, South Haven and all the towns along the Fruit Belt line, Kalamazoo shops draw patronage, while people from Schoolcraft, Vicksburg, T;liree Rivers, White Pigeon and all the towns in that direction think of no other place than Kalamazoo to do their shopping. And indeed there are some lines of trade in Kalamazoo which draw patronage from even the nearby states. So wide is the radius from which Kalamazoo's shoppers come, and so large is the patronage which comes from the "towns, that indeed it is doubtful if there is another city in the state of the size of Kalamazoo which such a rare distinction as a shopping center as does Kalamazoo. They come to by clothes, for Kalamazoo's ready to wear stores have exclusive garments, second in autoritative style points to none in the county. They come here to buy shoes, men come here to buy clothing, householders come to Kalamazoo to «my for furniture with which to beau- 'tlfy their homes, they come here for stoves, they come here for confectionery, they come to Kalamazoo for every line of merchandise. And the fact is they come to Kalamazoo, because Kalamazoo offers the best of everything to be had for the money, ajid because the splendid transprotation facilities afford easy access to their popular trading center.'

Harris, colored portef, taken from a Michigan Central train early Saturday morning by detectives, was taken to St. Joseph at noon today by Sheriff France of St. Joseph county, where he will be forced t« answer to a charge of grand larceny.

To all portents the "tower" as it is known to the attendants could form a fitting locale for the enactment of the most thrilling of medivial love ventures or to house such victims of tragedy as would pale a character of Dumas. However, it is as far separated from the laymen's notion ' of its usage, which ig the belief that it is the rabidly insane quarters of the institution that is imaginable. Prosaically it is the water tower, and has a reserve tank of 3,000.000 gallons capacity. Ordinarily it is used for private consumption alone, but in times of emergency in the city, such as outbreaks of big fires, the local lire department falls back on it. It was erected with the main building of the hospital. ! All the new equipment for the public school playgrounds, ordered at the September meeting of the board of education has arrived and has been taken on the grounds of the various schools, where the erection is to take place. The Giant Strides have already gone to the following seven schools: North West. Frank, Lovell, Lake. Burdick, Portage- and Vino. The Slides have already gone to the four schools which are to have them. They are as follows: Frank, East, Burdick, and Vine. E Cffi li EDIT H E (Bv Associated PFPRS.) FORT WAYNE; Ind..
