Skowhegan's Latest Business Bock-The Dunlap Building

The first brick ON this building was
laid Sept. and Mr.. Dunlap has work
ed himself on and in the building
every day since that date. The plans
for the building were drawn by Archi
tect Smith of Augusta and the build
ing was built by the days work under
the supervision of Harvey b. Goodwin
of this town. The master brick mason
was Frank HoXie of the firm of j. b.
HoXie < Son, Skowhegan. The roof,
which is of gravel, was placed by Wal
lace \. Hill of Fairfield. The steam
fitting was done by the Steward Heat
ing and Plumbing Co. Nash < Niles
had charge of the plumbing and the
electric wiring was done by the
Skowhegan Electric Light Co. The
building cost near $4,000.
word here would perhaps not be
out of place concerning the owner of
this, the finest laundry building in the
state. MIR. Dunlap came to this town
from Canaan. He has been engaged
in the laundry business for 16 wears,
first being located in the old brick
building adjacent to his new one and
later in the Heselton block further up
the street. He not only shows enter
prize but considerable courage in
erecting so fine a home for his bust
ness. 1t is a great addition to the APP
pearance of Water street below the
railroad crossing and must enhance
the value of other real estate in its
immediate vicinity. Mr.. Dunlap has
moved his business to the new block
and is now practically settled. He
will be pleased to see his old friends
and customers and show them over
the plant.
Mr.. Dunlap is a firm believer in the
business future OF Skowhegan and
every dollar he has made has been in
vested in the town. And, as he stated
to the News correspondent, it is not
covered up, but is where it can be
$, en- and taxed. In addition to the
block which is the subject of this
sketch, he owns fine home on North
avenue and will shortly build a dwell
ing house on Cross street i'll the rear
of the new building BANGOR News.

CAMS latest business building which
was built by Fred c. Dunlap Of this
town. 1t is located on Water street

In agony for the fate of his story, the
novelist rushed to the office of the
newspaper got hold Of some back
numbers In order to pick up the
threads of the romance and brought
it to a speedy end in few brief
chapters. Then he went 10 the Office

"Why Nhe continuation aud end of

task to n third writer at 10 confines.
and thus the work had been finished
