In the years before the Board Of Man
ayers came into existence, and for sixteen
years was one of it's vice presidents.
Feeling that we ave lost a true, loyal

CONSTRUCTING GARAGE
IN ONE.TIME CHURCH

The cid Freewill Baptist church edihce
on State street, which went out or use as
a place of worship 10 years ago, on the
com nletlon of the Penney Memorial
church. Is now undergoing a second
transformation.
The first was the making OF the building
irto a wood working plant, owned by
c. E. Hoxie & CO. At that time the steeple
was taken down, but otherwise the exter-
nal s~ppearance OF the old landmark re-
NAMED much the same as before. A year
ago the plant became the property Of
Arthur H. Kraus.
Mr.. Kraus is now converting the base
ment Of the building into a garage.
Truss rods are being placed under the
building proper and the old wooden posts
are being removed. The present excava-
ton will be filled in somewhat to make
the floor level higher and a concrete moor
will be laid. Two big doors VIII open on
to State street. The loo space Of the
garage will be 5000 SQUARE feet. Repair
work will be carried on in connection
with the garage business.
The wood working establishment up
stairs will continue to operate as before.
Mr.. Kraus has recently added the manu-
facture Of photograph cabinets to his
previous activities. He has also taken up
the construction of desk chairs Of a type
invented by DR.. Goldthwaite OF Boston
so designed that it is almost Impossible
for the sitter to assume an incorrect posi-
tion. The plant is now a very busy place
and is destined TO soon be even buster.
