Moore & Co. had bought and we're about
to occupy the premises at 1896 Main

Gayoso block, built some years ago in a
solid, durable style. Mr.. Moore awaited
himself of an opportunity last summer
to bug the house for cash at a bargain,
and has since had it thoroughly reno

finished up from bottom to top. The
exterior has been tastefully painted, and
a balcony and awning put up in front,
while the name Of the firm appears
painted in letters of gigantic size on the
south eide Of the building.
