COMING.
Messrs. Buford, Aldrioh & Worthington
Have Decided to Locate in
Our City
The Largest Agricultural Implement aud
Supply Depot in the South
west, Having
Bought the Extensive Building Of the
Texas BlOoded Stock
Association.

There srrived in this city night be.
fore last Messrs. Bufcrd, Aldrich 4 |
Worthington, prominent gentlemen
composing o firm Of that name who
came to our city prospecting.
For many years past this WELL
known and extensive firm have made
Dallas their headquarters, until
sometime since they moved
through force of circumstances
to Sherman, intending to again return
to Dallas when certain stock and prop.
critics had been disposed of. Their
trade, however, increased to such pro-
portions as to make Ii necessary to eX-
tend their business and increase their
facilities for handling their already
enormous business, and with these
purposes in view the gentlemen
composing this firm have been look
ing around for some point that offered
the necessary inducements and had
decided TO choose between Kansas City
and Dallas rs the only available points,
when, at this juncture, the disastrous
fire occurred in our city, whereby Mr..
Jos, II. Brown lost his splendid store
and stock.
Mr.. Brown was then very undecided
as to whether to rebuild In this city or
remove his extensive interests to
Kansas City ana commence business
there. After mature elaboration,
however, he decided to return and re-
commence business here. This action
on the part of Mr.. Brown decided these
gentlemen to investigate the advan-
tages offered by our city for their par
ticulsr business, which led them to the
following logical conclusions:
In conversation with our reporter
yesterday, Mr.. Buford said, first:
1--WE were particularly impressed with
the en- terprise and energy of your
people, as evidenced on every hand. y
| Second: "iFhis is point that already
commands large trade and is con
tiguous to all commerce and that Ii
rapidly settling up and thereby Great
ing demand for our goods" There
fore, "Mr: Joseph ii. Browns actior
in deciding to remain here was thu
direct cause of our coming here.
Thus Ithe direct and indirect ad
vantage to accrue TO our city in tn
possession Of such men is most appar
ent. AS o result, after considerable
/, time and negotiation, they have nov
succeeded in occurring the property o
the Texas Blooded Stock association
, fronting fifty feet on Main street be
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth street
and extending back to Rusk street
distance of 200 feet. This building Is
splendid structure, with brick, irol
and plate glass fronts on each street
and is 50x200 feet, two storis high
with large hydraulic elevator;
etc, and, as the gentlemen expresse
. il, ID Just exactly the property wanted
= and largest and best building in ia
state for their purposes. They clafI
hereby to have greater storage capa
ity than any firm in the state and 80

men are agents for the Rock Islan
