ALBANY Too.-The three story brick
buildings which are now being completed,
and which would beornaments TO any city
on the coast, are being built by men who
have accumulated fortunes by following
business vacations 10 this city. There Is
not another point that can make the same
boast In the northwest, for In almost every
town the enterprise Of the present season
has been impelled by the introduction of
foreign capital Dolles 7imsS- MOEnfdiEcrr.
That Is just exactly the way the many new
brick blocks In Albany have been built.
