four 22xl32, about half an inch in thick

four 22xlS2, about half an inch in thick
ness, and costing in Chicago nearly 500.
The doors and windows in front are sup:
ported by heavy iron pillars, cast in the
foundry of j. P. Dennis & Co., Sioux
City, for this purpose, and a large iron
threshold from the same place ornaments
the doorway of each.
In the center of the two stores isa broad
stairway which lands you in hail in the
second story running back the entire
length of the building and separates the
different offices. The first to the left, II
x24, and private Office 13xl7, are occu-
pied by the Kennedy Bros, the attorneys.
The rooms are well ventilated and lighted,
and everything neat and well arranged.
The second and rear apartments are
occupied by Dentist d. s. O'Neil. He
has pleasant Office l1x14, well lighted
and finely fixed up for the convenience of
customers. His dwelling apartments con-
sist of kitchen, butrey, aud sitting room.
To the right of the landing and of tho
same dimension and finish as that of the
Kennedy Bros, is to be the future law
office of O. S. Clifford, esq. Just when
he will occupy it is not known but sup
pose in day Or two
Attorney Steiner occupies the adjoining
room as his law Office and also has a suit
of rooms similar to Mr. O'Neil
A pair of stairs leads down from the
rear of the building to the grounds below.
The occupants of the building are too
well known to need any introduction or
commentator from us. 7. j. Fosdick,
who has the store room adjoining the
bank, carries one of the largest and best
stocks of ready made clothing and gents
furnishing goods to be found in this part
OF the country. His store is model of
neatness in every respect and he is one OF
the most genial of business men. Tim, as
he is familiarly known, says that when he
was born he was so chagrined at his desti
tute condition that he resolved then and
there to devote his energies to clothing
his fellow man, and as a result he is now
offering to virtuous people ready made
clothing at cost. In the rear of his store
he has fixed up neat Office and has it
provided with large Diebold safe and
other necessary furniture and fixtures.
The south room is occupied by that
veteran grocery and dry goods merchant,
Chas. Christopher. He has lately added
to his already large stock and is now car
rying ono of the best in the city. His
new and spacious quarters enable him to
display his stock in good style and were
an absolute necessity to meet the grow
ing wants of his large business. Chas. is
bound to keep up with the times and
understands how to please his customers.
A delivery wagon carries goods bought at
his place to all parts ofthe city.
The attorneys upstairs, the Messrs
Clifford, Kennedy Bros and Steiner, are
men of push and vim and stand hugh IN
the ranks of their profession and the same
may be said of O'Neil, the dentist
May business prosperity attend these
firms in tFeir new and elegant quarters is
the wish of the ADVOCATE.
Mr.. Gale has done much to improve
Canton and any city may be proud of
such an enterprising citizen. He does
not wait upon the order of going but when
he undertakes anything he goes at it with
a push and energy that is a sure precursor
Of success. We hope that he may long
live to enjoy the fruits of his labors and
that Canton may long claim him as one of
her most prominent and enterprising citi
zens.
