OccupNEcN.

This paper has kept apace with these
buildings above referred to and so all there
is to add is to give particulars as regards
details
The first to be mentioned is that of the
Messrs. Madole & Hinkley. This firm has
and rightly deserves The dry goods is
the brick store adjoining that Of Mr. Hood,
on Main street, and is 23X36. This store
will be stocked with dry goods, notions,
boots and shoes, etc. The front Of the
store is finished off in fine keeping with
the interior of the building. The work
was done under contract by the Messrs.
Duffie & Hewitt, builders and contractors.
| The plastering was done by Henry Al
bright, of Bridgcwater. 1t is three coat
work, the latter being hard finish. We
understand Mr.. Madole will also occupy
the upper room, same dimensions, and
stock the same with carpets, etc.
Their store on Fifth street also adioins
that of Mr. Hood and is in size 23xSO,
and will be stocked with groceries, canned
goods tobaccos, fruits of all kinds in sea

are model Of neatness throughout, com
bining beauty of finish to that Of conven-
ience The office will be on the right
hand side Of the store, in the rear. The
front of the store is Of tour-pane glass,
the flooring OF oak, the counters setting
off the store to good advantage. The
walls are the same as that in the dry
goods store. and the same carpenters did
the wood work \ free delivery wagon
has been placed upon the strec,s by this
live firm and all customers, who wish, can
have their purchases delivered at their
residences. A door in the side wall gives
customers an opportunity to pass in and
out from the two stores, a fact which will
be appreciated by all their patrons.
Adjoining the store of the above named
parties is that of the Messrs. IT, p
Thompson & Co.. hardware dealers. This
store also is 23XS0, brick, one story,
II foot ceiling. The carpcnte; work was
contracted for by Mr.. J. B. Pattee,
Of this place, who was ably assisted off
and on by the Messrs Huggard, Rams
dell, Wescott, Monfort and Sherman, and
is credit to them. The plastering was
done by Mr.. Loutzenhizer and Albright
and is three coat work. The shelving is
nobby, unique and convenient 1t reach
es to the ceiling and Mr. Thompson au-
thorizes us to call it by name, double

below. six shelves, platform is run the
length of the building, when shelves are
run to the top and then topped off with
a fine cornicc. Drawers are arranged the

ings have easements feet in the clear
which can be used as store and packing
rooms. To the rear Of the hardware store
is the tin shop, 22x22, in which uncle
Robert Lanning will have full swing The
building is we'll arranged and convenience
seemed to have been the principal object
sought. The painting was done by the |
Messrs. Shufeldt & Kull and the color IS
Of Il cherry finish. The front is of the
same make and finish as that OF the first |

room to display their stocks. We close
the article by inviting their many old
