A new
JEWELRY
BUILDING

For a long time there has been an
urgent need OF more factory buildings IN
Providence designed especially for the
needs of manufacturing jewelers.. Many or
the manufacturers are now occupying
buildings constructed "a half-century or
more ago and totally inadequate TO meet
the present day demands OF the business.
Some OF the concerns have been so
cramped for quarters and want OF facili-
ties that during the rush OF the past sea-
son they were forced TO recall their
travelling men and concentrate all their
energies on the orders with which they
were flooded
The shops were already so filed with
machinery and appliances that the
facilities could not be added TO and as
much more machinery, as we'll as heavier
Is used now than I'm times past. the build
ings could not be safely relied on TO carry
a strain for which they were not designed
I'm the way OF heavy machinery.
To meet the demand for moro modern
quarters for the jewelers.. with up-to-d date
facilities. adequate for their needs, the
erection OF a new six-story building at the
corner OF Pine and Garnet streets Is con-
templated The property there is owned
by the Pearsall and Usbeck estate, and IL
IL likely that when building operations
are begun early In the spring, ground Will
be broken for tho new structure.
The site is now occupied by a number
OF wooden buildings, which are leased 20
the tenants who no wuee them. These
leases expire May 1. and will probably
not be renewed The building will have
a front OF 5S feet on Pine street and run
back $50 feet on Garnet street IL will be
OF brick and stone and heavily timbered
throughout with n view 10 carrying any
heavy machinery used In the jewelry bus
mess.
william III. Herrick. agent for the prop
erty. has already received more applica-
tions for space IN the building than could
be accommodated. As 10 Ia not yet posi-
lively settled the building will be erected.
no shops have been let, hut as tho de-
mand IL so strong. there Is little doubt
about the building OF the structure, at
cost OF not less than $4,000.
