Bratteboro's Industrial developme
gives promise of working importa
changes in the rear of Crosby bio
within the next few years. The prem
es have been looked over with a vie
to laying out a street along the cour
of the present right of way from Hi
street to Elliot street, by way of t
Brooks House archway. A street the
would give opportunity for the erecti
of store, business and office buildings
either side, e. C. Crosby doubtlt
would tear down the Manley garage a
build a new one west of the propos
street, which would leave the site of t
present garage free for new busne
building. The premises now occupi
for livery stable and storage purpos
west of the right of way afford a fl
opportunity for mercantile structure
The growth of the town in a busne
way is not going to stop with the col
pletion of the cotton factory. oh
business establishments are in view, a
with their coming there is certain to
development in the mercantile line.
