Important Transfer

Messrs. Lunsford and Slaven
proprietors of the Monterey Light
plant and garage, have purchased
from the Stephenson heirs the Cary
er lot on Main street, Immediately
in front of the post Office, and the
purchase is of more than passing
interest because of the improve
ments that will follow.
This lot has been virtually va
cant for years, having only a ten
ant house on corner, although CEN
trally located and fine business
lot.
1t is the purpose of the purchas-
ers 10 utilize every foot of it for
business purposes, and two or three
handsome buildings will be erected
in the early spring. One of these
will be something like 50xSO feet,
on the northwest corner, and used
as garage and light plant.
Believing that there is big fu-
ture for the Automobile and having
faith in the outlook for business
along that line, the firm will COM
bine every modern requirement in
the new garage and furnish an up
to-date service,
The purchase of the site is of
special interest to the town, as
stated above, because of the fact
that the lot is centrally located,
and, in its present state, unslghtly
and unattractive:>
Every step looking to the filling
of these gaps and vacancies on
Main street should be gratifying to
the enterprising and loyal towns
man.
