STEWART RESPONSIBLE _ FOR THEATER VENTILATION America’s Wonderful Cooling and Fresh Air Sys- tem Personally Planned by Manager and Is Giving Excellent Results. Ventilation is perhaps the most difficult thing to calcu- late in the world of construction. Ventilation engineers are paid large salaries, and devote their entire efforts to this one problem, and are constantly striving to improve cooling conditions in places where large numbers of people congregate. ‘ Manager George R. Stewart, arsistant C. T. Perrin of the America ny Theater personally planned the new ventilating system in that theater, whieh is giving excellent results this season. Mr, Stewart's theory of keeping people ccbl in his theater is given below. Ever been sitting in the sweltering heat on a hot summer day, the per- spiration dripping from your brow, then jump into an automobile, open the windshield at about thirty miles an hour. My, what a relief, and how comfortable you were! But did you-ever stop to think that the tem- perature -when that breeze was camming through the windshield was practically the same as where you were sitting a few minutes before with perspiration trickling down your nose? If you would place a ther- mometer in the two places, the tem- yserature would probably not vary one @egree. One can face the re- freshing breeze in an automobile without the least discomfort, while ou really. suffer sitting still, even / in the shade, and the secret is that the perspiration is evaporated on the ot body #2 fast as it comes out. "The America Theater has worked on this simple little theory, instead of having a great many ventilators anascattered throughout the theater with Cucts leading to them, just throwing a light breeze, they have placed their largé fans, three of them, in the rear of the building, the large blades and high speed causing a terrific force of fresh air to be shot straight at the audience. ‘Then the oscillating wall fans, placed at intervals of about twenty feet along each side wall, further stir it up, having the same effect as riding in an automobile at a good rate of speed. The Objection of Pushing Air Through Water One wollld naturally think that forcing air through, or over, water would be much cooler, but such is not the case, While it may lower the tempera- ture a few degrees, you will be more uncomfortable than you would be with no fans at all, ‘The reason for this condition is due to the great per- centage of ,humidity. Air becomes so humid that it is almost saturated, and it is impossible to evaporate per- spiration with a force of air that is saturated. with, water—as - impossible as it would be to wipe your face dry with a towel soaked with water. | The air must»be dry with a terrific| force be theater, America Theater SWANSON SHOP IS ATTRACTIVE: BUSINESS GOOD No Line More Appropriate for Pid: Women Than Millinery and Art Needle Work ‘There {s no business more appro- priate for a woman than @ millinery and art needle work store, such as Pruasrediwem eo en located at 113 B. 1st street.

The Swanson sisters also have es- tablished a similar store in Douglas and Miss Martha is the proprietor at that place, while Miss Jenny is the manager of the Casper store. "The Casper store was purchased fn |1920 from Mrs. C. A. West. Ever since the Swanson Sisters purchased the establishment they have used as their motto: “Courtesy and expert| workmanship,” which has no doubt been responsible for the large and) rapidly increasing patronage which the firm now enjoys. The nationally known and advertis- ed Gage hats are handled by this firm, also Nun’s Boflproot embroidery asd Crochet thread, as well as com- plete lines of stamped materials for embroidering, and a line of Nightin- gale and Actagon hosiery just re- cently arrived. ‘The store is neat and the stock well-kept and attractive, and through | the endeavors of the Swafison Sisters to keep up-to-the minute in atyles, It ig believed that they will give to it! just the touch !t needs to secure a (CHEYENNE CO. wee gece "TAKE BAAR OF BUSINESS cooling system in Casper’s America| ad h | | The Casper Supply company, locat- FIRST FRUIT CONCERN HERE Fine Wholesale House Erect- ed In 1922 to Accommodate - Volume of Business The Cheyenne Fruit company is a Wyonting corporation being incor- porated in Cheyenne, Wyo., in 1917. This company was the first exclusive fruit house to operate in Wyoming, and they are now doing business in the three states of Wyoming, Ne braska and Colorado. In 1918, this company established | fruit and vegetable house in Cas- Per, and opened for business in the old Val Blatz building, in the rear of their present location, 333 West Mid- west avenue. They remained in the old Val Blatz building until 1923, and on account of the rapid growth of their business it was necessary that new quarters be provided which was in keeping with the growth of the community. Consequently, in 1922, in order to accommodate the immense volume of business that this company were do- ing, they laid plans and commenced the erection of a fine up-to-date and modernly equipped wholesale house ample enough to meet their require- |ments. In March, 1923, the company moved into this building, which is now one of the finest of its kind in the west. The Casper house as well as the one located in Cheyenne, are asso- ciated with the Gilinsky Fruit com- | pany of Omaha, which is known to have more affiliations than any other exclusive wholesale fruit houses in this section of the country. J. E. Moore, who is the manager of the Casper house, is @ young man of pleasing personality, and has been jwith the Gilinsky Fruit company since 1917. It may be said of Mr. Moore that he understands this busi- ness thoroughly, and is adapted with | natural ability to successfully meet the problems which are encountered daily in this class of merchandise.
