CREIGHTON & co. SECURE
OLD MITCHELL BUILDING
Will be Practically Rebuilt for Their
Use by the New Owner,
II. S. Rhodes.

Last Thursday another important
real estate deal was consummated in
Lancaster business property by H. S.
Rhodes, through which David erich
ton & Co gain possession of the old
Mitchell site on the west side of the
court house square, for store building.
The old structure, better known as
the old Jail, will practically be torn
down and replaced by building
which will be much larger, and
modern in every respect. Ia addi-
tion to completely remodeling exterior
and interior and putting in the most
modern type Of plate glass front, a
brick extension will be added to the
rear which will more than double the
present floor area.
While there have been many
changes in Lancaster business prop
critics within the last few years moth
ing has been done for long time that
promises to add so much to the
identifying of the business section as
this change will create. Standing. as
it does, in a most conspicuous posi-
ton, the unsightly old Jail has b cen
focus for all eyes for years. and
an attractive new building in it's
place will be welcome relief The
wonder is that so desirable property
has been so long overlooked.
Work of tearing out the front and
walls of the building will begin as
soon as BROKER Bros. who now &C.
cupy the building with their plumb
ing shop can vacate the premises.
This likely will be within the next
week or two, as the Crichton store
will be obliged to vacate the build
| ing it now occupies, which was
bought by L. Weber, as announced in
previous ISSUE of The Herald.
While the suddness and unexpected
ness Of the move will cause many
temporary inconvenience tie matter
of a change of locations is not re-
garded by Mr.. Crichton in the light
of calamity, as the store was fast
outgrowing its present quarters.
When completed the new store will
be much more convenient and de-
sirable for the conducting Of a dry
goods business.
Those who have watched the trans
formation of the old Thanhouser
stock into successful business
within year and a half, will fol-
low with interest Mr.. Crichton S work
in making a new store from the
ground up.
