this office. Mr.. Weathers hopes to
be able to move the office early in

how soon he can get the new fix
lures for which he is now me-
gotiating.
The new location will be superior
to the old not only in being fire
proof building but in the matte.' of
room, having more than twice the
space of the present office. The
room now occupied is 15X17 feet in
size, giving but 255 square feet in
all, while the new room is 14xS7 or
51S square feet. The removal was
very generally pe.itioned for by the
business men.
The new office viii be fitted up
