MORRIS KAPLAN BEGINS BUILDING
OF $4,000 MODERN BUSINESS BLOCK
New Structure May Provide Home for Macaroni
tion Machinery Secured-vaue in Manufactuxat N
Of Potato Flour "@ *s@ III

Construction of q 100000 modern
two-story business block has been
started BY Morris Kaplan, the struc-
ture being erected on the site at the
corner Of Minnesota avenue and Sec
ond street which he just purchased
from the Bemidji Townsite and I'm
provement company. The new build
ing will be lao feet long extending
from Second street to the tracks Of
the 500 Line, and will run SO feet on
Second street. h (.
The structure is to have a, full base
ment and the foundation will be sup
ported by a series of piles which are
to be driven. Large plate glass win
dows will adorn the main floor, which
will be rented for business purposes,
should Mr.. Kaplan decide not to es-
tablish a macaroni factory, the FEAST
bility of such a plan being thorough
ly investigated by him on a trip to
Philadelphia, from which he has just
returned. The second story will be
arranged for a number Of comfort
able living apartments. The build
ing will be directly across Second
street from the present Kaplan store
and brick to be- used will be- the
same variety, adding much to the at
tractiveness of this section Of the
business district. .
Mr.. Kaplan, who has had previous
experience in the manufacture of
macaroni, is enthusiastic concerning
the establishment of a plant here, but
the high price demanded for flour at
this time would work severe handi-
cap in the purchase, of raw materials.

Mr.. Kaplan has purchased an option
for machinery which would complete
~ equip q plant for the manufacture
Of macaroni. ess.5S .s.
While in the east Mr.. Kaplan in
vestigated the value Of potato -four
and found that its manufacture is
considered a success, the only draw
back being its color. The taste Of
potato flour made bread is satisfac-
tory but its use must now be confined
to the baking Of food which does not
require light color.
However, says Mr.. Kaplan, such
prominent experts as DR.. Carl Ais
berg, chief of the bureau Of chenis-
try at Washington and DR.. n. M. Hor.
ton, chief of the bureau Of agricul-
ture for the American Steel and Wire
company of Chicago, are working on
q plan whereby potato -four may be
bleached and at the same time keep
within the pure food laws. IN.
Mr.. Kaplan is enthusiastic concern
ing the possibilities Of the successful
operation Of a macaroni factory in
Bemidji as the soil of this vicinity is
especially adapted to the growing Of
macaroni wheat. He has also found
that thirty-three and q third per cent
potato flour can be used in the manu-
facture Of macaroni. ~

struction is the first. structure actu-
