cial Center Are Promised For
Next Season, Including Hotel


Fallon's 1920 business district
construction is about completed, ac-
cording to the several contractors
who have the work in hand. The
Gray, Reid & Company structure.
which Is Fallon's largest building,
will not be ready for occupancy for
several weeks, although nothing re-
mains undone to the exterior save
to install the plate glass front. 1t is
Ions size in the west that can count
a merchandising edifice of the size
and beauty of that owned by Gray,
Reid & Company.
The E. ID. Frazzini furniture store
building is now occupied with the
big stock owned by Mr.. Frazzini
and the greatly enlarged show room
space thus afforded gives the pros
pective customer a very ready idea
of the many lines carried
The j. w. Flood theater building
is also nearing completion, although
ii will be the last of the buildings
put forward this season to be COM
pleted The walls are now nearly
completed, the lobby is practically
done and overhead the lobby. living
apartments. containing seven well
arranged rooms with many built-in
features. are ready for occupancy.
The new home of the Rex theater is
elieiting praise from all who have
taken note of the proposed arrange
ment and 1t will constitute the
states most imposing and largest
playhouse outside of Reno.
The new Fallon garage showroom
has received It's last coat of plaster,
the plate glass has been put In place
and this firms line of new cars will
shortly be arranged there for the
inspection of car customers.
The Harvey Kohlhoss grocery
store building adjoining the Gray,
Reid & Company building, is occu-
pied by Mr.. Kohlhoss with full
line of staple groceries and is dis
tinctly valuable addition to the
towns business district.
The new Standard bull
ing, erected by Bingh lam &
Black as this, papers perma-
nent home. is another of Fallon's
substantial fireproof buildings, the
erection of which has added much
TO the Center street section of the
towns business district. With a
well arranged and we'll lighted in
terror this building has been gener-
ally commended as Nevada's best
adapted newspaper building, II not
the largest.
Residence construction will be
prosecuted throughout the winter
and at this time a number are un-
der course of erection in different
parts of town. Seemingly the house
shortage grows in acuteness despite
the rapidly increasing number of
new homes and rent figures have
not decreased
New construction for next year
includes many substantial business
blocks the largest of which is the !.
II. Kent company project. Plans
are being laid at this time for an
addition TO the present store that
will cover the ground now occupied
by the several wooden Office build
ings between the Kent establish
ment and the Woodliff building oc-
cupied by David Erkid. The hotel
project in the hands of John f.
Lehners has reached point that
seems to promise with certitude its
fulfillment in which event early
spring would witness active con-
struction work on this enterprise.
North Maine street will also be
the location of several new business
structures with the advent of the
now season If the announcements
made by II. w. Bruner and C. L.
Benadum are consummated. Both
have in mind the building of several
storerooms for business purposes
and both state that work will be
undertaken just as soon as the
weather will permit construction
next spring.
