Montrose – Photographer L. G. Titman has been having considerable success in taking pictures by the means of electric lights, having installed lamps that give about 2,500 candlepower at his studio. It is possible to take photographs at any time of the day or night with this equipment, which has attracted many who have found no time to come when Old Sol is shining his best.
Heart Lake – The Heart Lake Resort has been purchased by Mack & Jenkins, proprietors of The Subway Lunch, the deal being finished up the first of the week. Thereby, F. T. Mack and Z. D. Jenkins become sole owners and proprietors of this popular summer amusement place. The purchase price is not made public but the deal involves several thousand dollars. We understand they intend making numerous improvements this season and more during the fall or early next season. The tract of land takes up about eight acres of the most valuable land about the lake, with about 500 feet of water front, and the resort includes a merry-go-round, boarding house, dance hall, store, boat livery, naphtha launch, ball ground, picnic grounds and a large barn. Their opening dance at the lake will be held May 30, and they are now making plans for the annual “ever glorious 4th of July” celebrations. The young owners will continue to run The Subway Lunch on Public Avenue in Montrose, as in the past Mr. Mack will manage the Resort as heretofore, and Mr. Jenkins will remain in charge of The Subway.
