by Mr.. Parker for w. A. Jennings,
is fast approaching completion. Mr..
Keenan, will have the walls all COM
pleted by Monday night, if the
weather is favorable. and Mr.. An
,drews will finish laying the gas pipe
and sputting on the tin roofing in
three or four days unless rain pre-
vents. There Will then remain the
cementing of the basement, the
plasteripg and finishing of the walls.
and the shelving and putting in of
the counters and fixtures. which will
probably occupy about four weeks.
The work on this building is first
class, and will compare fsvorably
with the best work in the larger
cities. Mr.. keenan, has been en-
ployed on some of the finest build
ings in Chicago, including the new
Chamber of Commerce, and knows
how to do the best work for the
least money. The cost of this build
ing will fall somewhat under the es-
innate.

tent that focks of them are often
