M.L. Vial first came to Weiser in 1891, and located his shop in the upper story of the Sommer & Gorrie building (now a part of the Hotel Weiser) in Old Town; he was just across the hall from the Signal Office. In 1892, a year later, he bought the lot from which he has just moved and put up a small store, which he afterward enlarged and improved with a better front; later he built the neat residence which which he occupies on Main street. Last spring he bought this lot on which his new building stands and this fall built the structure which he has just moved into, and as his business will no doubt continue to grow, we can look for the building to expand and grow pretentious likewise.

BUSINESS MOVE

M.L. Vial, the Jeweler, Now Located in His New Building.

M.L. Vial is now located in his handsome new brick across the street from the old stand.

The new quarters are very pleasant and Vial proposes to keep his stock up to the dignity of his building. He has ordered another wall case for musical instruments, and several more handsome show cases, and to make up the display therein he is more than doubling his stock of musical goods and already fine display of jewelry. He will also put in one of the best lines of silverware ever seen in a town of this size.

By upright dealing and advanced business methods he has built up a successful trade, and it is gratifying to see him, as well as any other business man, turn the profits to the upbuilding and advancement to the town.
