&C. W. Amsler has had the house on
his lot moved TO the rear end of the same

comfortable and convenient residences in

style, substantial in construction and
modern in all its appointments. 1t will
be quite fine addition to our town and
will especially improve the appearance of
the street at Main street and Seventh ave-
