H. l.. Emerson has sold his building on
Elliot street east of the Carpenter organ
building, known as the old Cobegh
building, TO Leslie Smith, who will pull 1t
down within the next two weeks, or as
soon as the present occupants move out.
Mr.. Emerson has plans made for brick
building on the site of the present wood
structure, but just when the building will
be erected he is at present unable TO state.
He expects to put in granite foundation
before winter, which, according to his
present plan, will have a frontage of 20
feet on Elliot street and will be 100 feet
long. When the time comes he will prob
ably erect a fVe-story building, which
would give ample room for storage and
store purposes, doing away with the ne
cessity of renting storage room. Mr.. EN-.
erson now rents the larger part of the
Stockwell building on Flat street for this
purpose. K. L. Parker and Oscar Smith,
who now occupy the Elliot street building,
are undecided as TO where they will go.
