COLDSTONE BUYS
LEWISTON BLOCK
Cottonwood Capitalist Pays
$4,000 For Lewiston
Business Property.

Sam Goldstone, the pioneer
merchant Of Cottonwood, invest
ed in quite a chunk of Lewiston
real estate last week when he
purchased part of the Binnard
estate property for $35, 900. The
Tribune has the following to say
regarding the deal:
The most important sale of
business property occurring in
Lewiston in number Of years
took place yesterday.when Sam
uel Goldstone, the well-known
Cottonwood merchant and capi-
talist, purchased from the Bin
nard Estate company the lot and
building on East Main street oc-
cupied by the Lewiston Hard
ware company, the Pring- Parsons
company and H. Berg. The con-
sideration was $35, 900. The
property has a frontage of 62 1-2
feet and a depth of over 200
feet, the southern boundary be-
ing at the brow of the hill north
of the Fifth street park. The
building occupying the ground is
a one-story brick structure.
Il did not buy the property as
a speculation" said Mr.. Gold
stone, "but as a permanent in
vestment. / could not figure out
a safer place than Lewiston bus
mess property into which to put
any surplus funds l might have.
This means, then, that whenever
the conditions demand it, l will
remodel and enlarge the present
structure occupying the ground
or will erect a new block there.
The purchase of the property, as
| have said, permanently identi-
fies me with Lewiston, and the
investment made is the best evil
dence as to the view l hold as to
the future of the CITY,"
The property is located but a
short distance east of Fifth
street, adjoining the Salsberg
block on the east, and is classed
as being as fine a business as
there is in the city.
The Binnard Estate company
is comprised of the heirs of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Abram Bin
nard, Mr.. Binnard having been a
pioneer merchant of Lewiston,
who left extensive property in
terests here. Instead of divid-
ing the real estate holdings, the
heirs incorporated the Binnard
company and the property has
since been handled through the
corporation. The company still
owns three business blocks in
the city, which are not for sale.
