Hamblet have had in process of erection
for some months, is SO nearly completed
that the goods will be moved into it as
soon as the heating arrangement, now I'M
der way, is completed. The building is
erected on substantially the site of the old
Robinson store, which was purchased by
Barron q Hamblet some years ago, when
they came here from West Charleston
Their career here has been very successful
! From the average country store their bus
ness has grown from year to year, notwith-
| standing they have adopted the cash sys-
tenn, until it has far outgrown the old
store, and they are compelled to enlarge
or build new. The new block is about As
| by so feet on the ground and is three sto-
| ries high besides the basement story. 1t
was planned chiefly by Mr.. Barron. The
work was done under the supervision of
the efficient master workman, John Cotton
of Irasburgh. Thoroughness in construc-
| ton and convenience were the ends sought.
