As time went on Afr. Linicus completed the present building, which eventually bc |. came the property of his son Jaooc who was named for him.
 It is said that MT. Geary plankeH down s3S,o00 of his savings for the building and, in the opinion of real es- tate experts it is worth the price. The present occupants of the stores have leases that have yet two years of life and it is understood that the property was sold subject to these leases. 1t ts understood that eventually the build ing will be enlarged and devoted to the dry goods business and win be in di- rect competition with the big stores Of like nature on either side. Then that section of State street will be known as the dry goods district It is hardly believed that Mir.
