of the company. 1t is not possible for

WILL REBUILD
BANK BUILDING

henosha is to have another bank
building which viii meet every de-
mand for modern banking under the
most approved conditions as announce
ment is made today by President
Henry B. Robinson of the Merchants
and Savings bank, that the home of
this bank is to be rebuilt in the near
future. After casting about for new
location and securing options on sew
eral pieces of property. the directors
OF the bank have decided that the
present property of the bank is one
OF the best possible sites in the down
town district of the city and the work
Of rebuilding the building to meet
all the demands of the bank, will be
started in the very near future.
We want to start this work just as
soon as we can see our way clear"
said President Robinson this morn
ing. eve believe that the plans which
we have made will give us one of the
most modern banks to be found in
this section of the country and it will
offer splendid facilities for handling
the constantly growing business of
the financial demands of the city,
Vaults to Go Down.
The big vaults of the bank which
have occupied position in the center
of the building, taking up a large
amount of room, will be moved back
and down. The vaults will in part be
placed in the basement with the first
floor portion of them at the extreme
rear of the present building. This
will almost double the room in the
main counting room In order to gain
further room for the regular business
with the public the. entire second floor
of the building will be converted into
a work room for the bank. This will
make an ideal work room and it will
be large enough to accommodate a
considerable growth for the bank.
The building will. be equipped with
elevator service to all parts, both
freight and passengers elevators be-
ing provided for.
The third floor of the building will
be remodeled at the same time with
a view of having the entire building
ready for the use of the bank. The
plans and specifications for the bank
are now being made and the work is
expected to start in the near future.
1t is said that the cost of the rebuild
ing will exceed fifty thousand dollars.
Rapid Growth of Bank.
81 had sort of hoped that when we
got where we are now we would have
reached about my idea of a bank for
Kenosha," said President Robinson
this morning, "but we are convinced
now that we are just getting real
start and that the future must be
ready to take care of much larger
business. This bank wants to keep
pace with the growth OF Kenosha and
we believe that our plans when car
ried out will offer to the people a de-
cidedly attractive banking house"
The resources of the Merchants and
Savings bank are now well over the
two million mark and steady growth
is being registered at each call for a
report. It's directors are among the
most prominent and most progressive
men of the city and they have shown
a willingness to have the bank meet
all the demands made upon it.
The announcement that the bank
will rebuild at the present location
will set at rest mass of stories of
changed locations for it's activities.

GOLDBERG STORE
CHANGES HANDS

An item Of interest in business
circles today was the announcement
that the retail mercantile firm of E.
Goldberg, Rowland avenue, would
shortly go out of existence. By deal
consummated Monday, David Jacobson,
who formerly owned the North Side
Bargain store, will take possession
some time in May. The building has
also been purchased by Mr.. Jacobson.
Mr.. Goldberg will now devote his en-
tire time to the wholesale confection-
airy business. When market conditions
again become normal he plans to en-
ter the candy manufacturing business.
An Old Kenosha Firm.
One Of Kenosha's Oldest retail firms
will pass out of existence when the
store is taken over by the Jacobsons.
Mr.. Goldberg came to Kenosha in
1898, establishing the Boston store
which>was one of the best known local
firms. 1907 this business was sold
out and the Goldbergs moved to
Gary, Indiana, where they remained
until the fall Of 1914.
Business trips to Kenosha gave
promise of rapidly developing bust
ness center on Rowland avenue and it
was decided that retail mercantile
business again be established in Ke-
nosha. 1t was shortly afterward that
the present building was erected at the
corner of Rowland avenue and Dayton
street, in the center of the city's
rapidly growing west side. For some
years Mr.. Goldberg has been engaged
in the wholesale candy business and
the growth of this business has de-
cided him to devote his time entirely
to this line.
Put In New Stocks.
When Mr.. jacobson takes possession
of the store there will be several
changes which will place the firm in
the same sategory as the other estab-
lished general merchandise firms on
the west side. The stock has hereto
fore consisted of staples, but the new
owner will put in a line of dry goods
and notions which will prove popular
with west side patrons. The business
policy in effect at the North Side
Bargain store, will be adopted and
will undoubtedly prove attractive to
his new clientele.
