New Ulm At Last to Have an Office Of
Which She Gan Be Proud.
The Latest Modern Fixtures to Take the
Place Of 0ld.styled Shelves.

New Ulm is at last to have postof-
ice in keeping with her growth and i'm
portance as one of tie leading towns of
Southern Minnesota. The building IN
which the office is located is to be en-
tirely remodeled. Instead of a short,
one-story structure of ancient archltec:
ture, we will soon have fine tWo-story
block of pleasing appearance and ample
room. The floor has already been low
cred to the level of the sidewalk and
| carpenters and masoDs are now busily
engaged in an effort to have the build
ing completed by the 1st of July.
Nor is that all. Mr.. Barner, repre-
senting the Indianapolis Lock Co., was
here Saturday and Monday and contract
ed with DR.. Strlckler, the owner of the
building, for new and modern fixtures.
The plans indicate one of the best fur
nished officers IN the state, the furniture
being all of quartered white cak, highly
finished and carved, and the boxes all of
the latest pattern. Of the latter there
will be 1913 with lock and 201 without,
majority Of the former being keyless.
For this improvement, the community
owes DR.. Strlckler vote of thanks. He
makes it at an expense of nearly $1,000
for the fixtures alone, and this too with
out specific guarantee as to how long
the office will remain at It's present To-
cation.
But it is something that New ~Ulm
has needed for a long, long time, and We
are right glad that it has at last been
undertaken. The old-styled box will be
permitted to go without regret from
anyone.
