AN IMPROVEMENT
ON main STREET
Three Business Places in keokuk
Are to be Made Into
TWO Handsome
Buildings.
THE DEAL NEAR CLOSE
Some Of the Old Landmarks Of the
City to Pass Awtay In the
Remodelinu Of This
Property.

"A business deal has been on for
some time and known to The Gate
City, by which noticeable improve
ments will be made on the south side
Of Main street, between Sixth and
Seventh streets. The contemplated
Improvement is on the one-story prop
erty consisting of three business
places, occupied respectively by Els
enhuth's cigar store Whites barber
shop and the Singer Sewing Machine
office.
The deal is so far along that the
occupants of these places are making
preparations to vacate the premises
that the reconstruction may bA COM
menced.
Sam Miller, the shoe man, one OF
the principal promoters, has family
interest in the property, and was
somewhat reluctant about giving out
details, saying that there's many a
slip betwixt the cup and the lip, y
and that former deal on the prop
erty had progressed farther along
than this and then failed, SO he was
not at all certain but that any an
nouncement at this time might be pre-
mature.
| But with the notification of the
tenants to vacate and their prepare
ton to do SO seem to make "assur.
ance doubly sure that the old one
story buildings occupying the ground
so long will be soon relegated to the
memory of the old inhabitants and
replaced by two business houses
which will be credit to the progress
of the city.
1t has been understood that the two
business places to supercede the
three are to be onestory buildings
made by tearing out the old front
putting in new modern fronts and re
modelling the building. but these de
tails have not yet. been arranged ant
the building may be higher than one
story. Probably one story will b.
their height if the deal is finally con
summated and possibly another story
will be the final determination
John Eisenhuth has occupied the
/ building for thirty-six years. The 9th
ers are much younger tenants.

There have been persistent reports
that a moving picture magnate was
negotiating IOr Lie HuuSe. ReSdIuluS
this, Mr.. Harrington said: sKeokuk
Is too good and too large a city to
have its only theatre turned over for
the purpose Of playing motion pictures
and vaudeville only, and would
hardly let it go unless the purchaser
put on good shows-the standard we
have been giving the people during
the past two seasons.
THE house today could be enlarg
larged to seat 200 more people," con.
timed the owner. This could be done
without the relocation of the walls
The property is of sufficient size to
accomodate city of $4,000 should the
city ever grow to such size. We
have eighteen feet on either side. TIC

tons would cost 100000.
Although discussing theatre mat
tiers quite freely with reporter, Mr.
Harrington declined to make known
the parties who have been dickerine
with him for the plant. That they are
