LESLIE PAPER COMPANY WILL
BUILD ACROSS THE STREET.
Indication of Desire of Jobbers to
Keep Near Their Local Customers
Building Will Be -Four Stories and
VIII Cost Sao,0oo-site Already
Purchased.

The John Leslie Paper company has
bought a lot at Third avenue S and
Fifth street, across from the Court
house, and will build wholesale pa
per warehouse and office building.
Ground will be broken before the end
of September and the building will be
ready to occupy at the end of the lease
of the Mcknight building, 240-242
First avenue S. in March. The site
cost about $4,000, and the building
will cost between $4,000 and $45, 1000.
The move of the Leslie company is
an Indication. The location is new for
a wholesale house, but since the Print
ers' Exchange burned last spring and
the second Printers Exchange burned
this month"; both north of First ave-
nue. N, the printing business has
moved south, and Mr.. Leslie wants to
get near his city customers. Hereto
fore the only exclusively wholesale
district south has been that of the
farm implement companies.
The lot fronts fifty feet on Fifth
street and is SIS feet deep. The build
Ing will cover this space. It will be
four stories high and strong enough
to hold seven. The construction will
be mill, with sprinkler protection. 1t
will be extra heavy, to comply with
building regulations. Low ceilings
will be a feature. Next to hardware,
paper is the heaviest exclusive line
carried by jobbers and in buildings not
made especially for the purpose it is
almost impossible to be economical of
room. About 10000 more feet Of floor
space will be provided in the Leslie
building than in the present store

On outside real estate, the burden
