II is further reported that the Ar

insofar as its present location is con

formerly occupied by the Wear-U-
Woll shoe store.
This later report could not be
positively verified but it is known
that Architect Kusener has been
locking over the premises and taking
measurements, probably with an
idea relative to remodeling the store
Mr.. Kusener has done considerable
work for the Cairo Brewing Comp
any in the past. When asked what
his purpose was and for whom he
was making the examination Mr.
Kusener declined to give any infor-
nation. 1t is positively known that
President Beck of the Brewery Com
pany was in consultation with the
owner of the property but up to last
evening had given no indication rel
alive TO his final determination.
There have been two other appu-
cants for leases on the property,
Frank Davis having il under con-
sideration as a location for his new
bank. The third Cairo man who de-
sired TO rent the store has secured
another location A Paducah man

transient roomers. This Paducal
man represents syndicate operat
ing restaurants in several Kentuckl

souri, people.
That such deal had been consum.
mated was denied in effect last eve
ming by a prominent official of the
bank who stated that If such a salt
has been made to the Alexander
County National bank, have not
been notified of it.
The purchase of the property was
said to be in pursuance of a plan d
the bank TO construct a modern and
ornate building 50x100 feet in di
mansions and several stories high
in order to properly accommodate The
constantly growing business of thu

would be in keeping pace with tn
advances made by the First Banl

the Cairo National Bank with tn
