Needham Brothers, Of the Grinnell
Register, whose new building at the
southwest corner of Fifth avenue and
Broad street has been under way for
some time have already concluded that
they did not take in territory enough
and so have bought an additional
twenty feet on the west end of their
first purchase and so will have control
of a strip twenty four feet wide from
the street corner to the alley, next the
armory. They will make their base
ment excavation the entire length and
the building will be extended to cover.
This will give them always excellent
light on three sides and also on the
south side until some other building Is
erected there.
