Main Street Establishment to be
Ren.Odeled; Impossible to

The first unit of the new store build
ings being erected by the Imperial
Valley Hardware company Of this city
and which extends from the alley in
the rear of the building now occupied
by the company through to State
street, is rapidly nearing completion
and tomorrow the business offices of
the establishment will be transferred
from the Main street store to the
State street building where they will
remain while the old store is being
razed and until the new one is up
and ready for occupancy.
The actual work of tearing down
the old store building will commence
at once and from now until the COM
pletion of the new store the |. V.
! Hardware company will be compelled
to transact business in rather close
quarters.
The immense stock carried by the
company makes it practically lmpos
sible to move every thing to another
building. Therefore a partition will
be run through the center of the
store from Main street to the alley
and all merchandise on the east side
of the partition through the sales
room will be moved to the west side
while the east portion of the build
ing is being constructed. AS soon as
part of the new building is completed
| the hardware department will be
moved in and the remainder of the old
building torn down.
The stock in the rear of the sales
room will be housed, temporarily, in
the State street unit.
| The building Immediately east of
the Imperial Valley Hardware COM
pany which is now occupied by mil
linery shop and confectionery store
will also be torn down to afford an
additinal 25 feet for the new store.
