handsome brick store 150x70 feet in
size. The building will be divided into
three store rooms and will be finished
In bum brick. Adjoining this new block
on the east. little later in the sea-
son Stuber & Hall will construct q
brick block. which will have a 'front.'
age Of 50 feet on Walnut street, and
will be occupied by them in carrying
on their meat market business, their
present quarters being somewhat in
