Mr.. J. w. Pittman and Mr.. G. A. Voel-
ker will be as pretty as any one would
wish TO see, and will add very much to
the appearance of Lake street and will

erect such buildings, show that the
gentlemen have confidence in the
future of Providence. Mr.. lIamley is
showing by his skill as contractor
that in the future there is no use for
any one to let contracts to outside par
ties when he can erect such complete
structures as the Bernard building aud
the two now being built by him. He
is on hand all the time supervising the
work and there is nothing about the
buildings that escapes his eye; and one
thing is certain, no shoddy work is
allowed to be doue, and when they are
turned over to the owners they can be
assured that they are first class iD
