erations pest has stood at tho Northwest
corner of Front and Orange streetA has
undergone wonderful transformation.
Since tho time that the memory Of the
oldest citizen runs back, this corner has
been grain. flour aud feed emporium and
for many years before and during the
prominence of the Allder1icc family IL
was the principal grain mart OF the city.
After the decadence and disappearance Of
this family from the city. it fell into Diff
forent hands. and was always used for the
same purpose but Its importance had de-
parted. The last firm that used II for a
hay, Hour and feed store was John Il.
Dickey q Co., who were burnt out some
two years ago.
The building. which was of frame, was
so badly damaged that no attempt was
afterwards made TO repair 1t and start It
on the old track again. 1t lay In this d.
apidated condition until last winter. when
u was put up at public sale and was sold
to A. V. Hyaore & Son. an enterprising
nrm of light machinery and morocco
machinery manufacturers Workmen
were put to work clearing out the debris
OF the old building and taking away the
burnt and SCARED framework. Isaac
woodrow undertook tie contract of turn
ing the old building Into a new one. with
more room and handsomcr In Its archi-
tectual proportions and appearance.
The ground and second story doors of
the old building were sound and in tact,
and these Mr.. Woodrow lacked ur and
blaoed in position until brick-layors run
up walls and kept the floors in place.
These two floors are the only relics left
OF the old Allderdice building. But when
the mechanics were about 1t they did not
stop at tho second floor, but kept on and
added a third floor with mansard roof 70
{ The building. which Is titty feet square
now towers above It's surrounding fellows
and presents very imposing and hand
some appearance.
The Messrs III sore moved into their new
building few days ago and have hardly
place. They have twenty horso.power r
engine which drives the machinery on the
first and second floor. They employ some
sixteen hands. and are kept very busy at
the present time. They make a speciality
OF all kinds OF morocco machinery. which
is In great demand since the morocco
strikes of few years ago. They also make
all other kinds of light Iron machinery.
Mr.. Hysore is the sola inventor OF q
very ingenious grfndstone with both cen.
trifugal and centripctal molten. for grind
ing gluss rollers making them as true as
u they had been turned In a lathe. The
Messrs; Hysore are sole agents In the State
for Halls tank works Philadelphia, also
for Steinicken & Company's FANS and
veutilatois. The third story Of the build
ing is occupied by MIR. William A. McCow-
an manufacturer of special light ma
chinery, electric motors electric wires
and all kinds of electric machinery. He
operates his department entirely by an cleo
trio motor. The Messrs. Hysore have a
very handsome and airy Office in the cor
ner of their building at the junction of
the two streets and Miss Bessie Hansei at
tends to the duties of keeping their nc
Gounts stratght by the most approved sys-
tenn OF bookkeeping.
