STATE SITS.
HANDSOME
BUILDING
Schultz Structure on Thor
oughfare Is to Be Four
Stories in Height, and Will
Be Matter of Pride to
Business Men of Street.

The new building which is to be
built by Mrs. Petere schultz Of Ham
mond on her property on East State
street is to be Il rour-story building
Originally 1t was intended that the
building should be only three stories
high but now the architects have been
ordered to make the building another
story high
This will be the first four-story
building to be built on State street,
aud will be matter of pride to every
indication of the growing Importance
of the street.
The necessity for making the build
ing four stories high resulted from tho
demands Of Messrs. Kohl and Castle,
who will lease the theater for vaude-
Vile purposes.
The first floor will be devoted to the
theater and a floral shop. The ceiling
OF the theater will extent above the
second and third floors. There will also
be flats on the second and third floors
A large ball room will be built on the
fourth floor.
The only defect in the plans is the
fact that the building will not be
equipped with an elevator. In spite OF
the fact that Anton Taper now deeply
regrets that he did not install an ele-
vator in his building which would
have enabled him to double the rent or
the upper floors. the same mistake is
being made in the new Schultz building
