Last week Mr.. J. j. Stri tzel closed a
deal for the large stone building on the
corner north of the opera house. He
proposes to tear it down and use the
material in the erection of his new
shoe store on his lot just north of his
present location. This building was
put up about seventeen or eighteen
years ago by Mr.. L. Potter, founder of
the town of Elma. The building, 50xSO,
two stories high, is said to have been
built practically out Of one big rock
that was located on the prairie some
two or three miles southeast of town.
Mr.. Potter did the blasting himself and
much of the mason work on the build
ing. 1t proved to be a poor investment
financi ally, as it never was occupied as
a store building. 1t has a different
times been used as store room, and
at one time the lower floor was used
for a feed store.-Elma New Era.
