OPENS CAMPAIGN TO SELL AT LOW GOST Growth of Town West of Refineries Remarkable; Smell and Smoke of Giant Stacks Seldom Comes Over; Little City Is Built for Workers. With a full page advertisement in this edition of the Tri- bune, the Mills Construction company is opening a campaign to sell at moderate prices the 150 lots which they have in the bordering town of Mills. The growth of this little city, which adjoins the Standard refineries, the chief employers of labor in the entire State of ‘Wyoming, has been phenomenal, Three short years ago the location of this modern clty was covered with wild growths of sagebrush. Thomas Mulls, the founder of the Mills Con- struction company, purchased the land to house his various properties at the time that he was doing the teaming for the Midwest Refinihg company, ‘Within a few months {t became ev dent that his land was most attrac- tive to refinery workers and several of them asked the privilege of buying land on which to build their homes.

Almost everyone knows that Sage ‘Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural Color and lustre to the hair wien faded, streaked or gray. Years ugo the only way tc get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome, Nowadays we simply ask at any rug store for “Wyeth’s Bage and Sul- phur Compound.” ‘You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost, Every- body uses this preparaton now, bo- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as {t does it eo naturally and evenly. You dampen »onge or soft brush with it and aw this through your halr, taking all strand at a time; by morn- @ gray hair disappears, and r another application or two, your hatr becomes beautifully dark, thick end glossy and you look years youngér—Ady, This was arranged satisfactorily, but when numerous other refinery sork- ers and workingmen saw the advan- tages of the location, the charm and beauty of the spot, they, too, sought to buy land. ‘As a result, the town of Mills was staked out and, while there was at first no active campaign to ispose of the lots, they went like the proverbial hot cakes. Mills today is a most up-to-date city. The place has been incorpor- ated, numerous store buildings have been built, it has a regular postoffice, and gas, electricity and water are convenient to every location in the town. Most of the inhabitants of the town are employed in the industrial Plants which surround the settle- ment, The property of ‘the Midwest Re- fining company, now known as plant No. 3 of the Standard O!1 company, adjoins the town, the Producers and Refiners Corporation have built thelr sreat gas absorption plant on tho out- skirts, the Mammoth Oil company has constructed ‘ts warehouse, north of town, the Western Pipe Line has lo- cated the leading terminal of their Salt Creek pipe line at Mills, the Sprague and Nisely Construction company maintain the!r offices there, and there are several other companies of lesser importance who have ized the attractiveness of M.lls established themselves there, Freedom from the smoke and odor of the refineries 1s one of the advan- tages of the town. It is built west of the great plants and the dirt and smell coming from the scores of giant smoke stacks seldom covers the town. Both the Chicago and Northwestern and Burlington railroads run close to the little city. It is now inevitable that a railroad station will be estab- lished there before many months have passed. Both the rapid'y grow- ing population of Mills and the great industries which are at the very doors of the place will demand a station soon. The fact that so many large Indus- tr'al concerns have located at Mills assures the future of the place and insures beyond the slightest doubt its continued growth. The'advantages to the large companies are so apparent that it would be no surprise to see still more companies build thelr plants in the vicinity: The people who live at’ Mis are for the most part working people. Prox- ‘mity to thelr work is one very good yeason for, thelr being there, but there are other reasons eaually im: portant. Taxes are low, gas is cheaper than anywhere in the coun- try, e'ectricity and water are obtain- able at prices equal to those of Cas- per. The fire hazard, so great in many communities, {s not great at Mills, due to the fact that there is a fire hydrant at every corner of the town. The offer which the M’lls Con- struction company makes in the ad- yertisement in the ‘Tribune today comes at a time when real estate values seem about to raise. How- ever, the lots which are offered for sale have not been increased in value, nor will they. It 1s the inten- tion of Mr. Mills to dispose of the 150 lots he has for sale as soon as possible, and for that reason he has taken advantage of the advert'sing columns of the Tribune. ‘The small advertisements which have appeared in this paper during the past few days indicate that considerable inter- est bas been aroused and that the sale will start with a grand flourish. real- and ‘The Lady of North Star’ BY OTTWELL BINNS, AUTHOR 0 F INSTALLMENT NO.
