ed TO commission merchi ants, will be erect
ed by the Wabash Ra.lroad Company on

1t was announced exclusively in The Re-

acquired The property. that cold-storasc
plant was under consideration. SubSe-
uuently II was stated that the railroad
would require tho entire tract between
Carr street and Franklin avenue and Third

This announcement raised protest from
many Of the commission men, who consider
the location peculiarly well adapted Tor

to an unfamiliar neighborhood and give
the'r rivals the advantage of the favored

The protest lei to an offer from the
Wabash to construct the fifty or more

the merchants at $50 a month. Firms may
occupy more than one store IL they so de-
sire.
The buildings are to be three stories

in horses are frequently changing and
it is interesting to note how these
have varied. Years ago nothing was
considered more stylish, in tandem FOR

period of rigid uniformity when the
animals had all to be carefully matched

color. This has lasted pretty we'll I'M
