a casual passer-by to be almost out OF
place. But let us tell you that the star
OF empire in Ogden's business locations
is sweeping northward. The Utah For
warding & Produce Company have real
lied this. John A. Stephens, president
of that company, and at the same time
doing an extensive wholesale grocery
business OF his own, thought the same
way. Hence we see on that corner a
large two-story brick business structure.
The chaste simplicity OF its style is
equaled by the reliable solidity OF its con-
structiOn. There is a handsome front of
forty feet on Main street. The building
is seventy feet from front to rear on
Third. The first story is fourteen, the
second twelve feet in height, and the
water-tight and well ventilated cellar
is six feet in the clear. There are, be-
sides well built stairways, an ele
vator to distribute goods to the
various parts of the house. Howe
scales are used, both for wholesale and
retail weighing. The sliding doors on the
various sides OF the building are provided
with the invariably satisfactory Prescott

confidently assert that it is the best
lighted and most convenient in the town.

most commodious. 1t measures 1920;
is wainscotted, stained cherry, hand
somely papered, and provided with an
ornamental wire railing.

and carpenter-in-chief of the edifice,

credit to so young and still SO enterpris-
ing firm to launch out in such vast
building. Yet, the ever large and still
steadily increasing dimensions of the two
mercantile establishments named above
justify the erection OF Just such an en-
porium of wholesale trade in the produce
OF the country. To conclude briefly, the
building reflects credit on the projectors,
proprietors and builder thereof.

the streets Saturday for the first time

other verdict still hanging over him like
the sword OF Damocles.
