BUYS QUARRY AND DENIES RUMoR.

The story from Tuckahoe that F. II. Cooper, of
the Siegel-Cooper Company. had purchased
quarry in that town, and would supply the marble
to be used in the construction of the
cid Macy site at Fourteenth-st. and Sixth-ave, Is
not correct.
When seen in the executive Offices of the Segel-
Cooper Company. Mr.. Cooper said:
There is absolutely TO truth in the report that
going supply the marble for the store that
it is proposed TO erect at Fourteenth-st and sixth
1t is true, however that did buy quarry
property Tuckahoe In this connection there is
another report which / wish to make clear to the
public. Our attention has many occasions been
called TO the fact that the general public has cred
tied the Siege- Cooper Company with having bought
little parcel OF property at the corner of Thirty
fourth-st and Broadway in spirit OF malice to
prevent IL from falling into the hands of enc of
competitors. and we nave been severely criti-
cised in consequence. The criticism is unjust be-
cause the Siegel- Cooper Company has had
interest N the Suildng referred TO. That build
ing purchased In the private interests of Henry
Siegel. who has not been connected with the Segel
Cooper Company for more than year, having
soclated himself with the business of the Simpson
