M'ALLISTER & KENT MOVE.
Are Now Located in the Second Floor
of Worthen Block.

The members and assistants of the
McAllister & Kent agency had ample
room this morning in their new apart
ments in the Worthen block, much in
contrast TO the congested rooms in the
Aldrich block of the past few months
Since alterations began in the Aldrieh
building. and even before, the apart
ments proved far too small to meet
their business i'm real estate and IN
surance. The new location is in the
rooms formerly occupied by the Granite
City Press, Just opposite the entrance
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany office.
One would hardly recognize the apart
ment as that OF the former press rooms,
SO radical have been the alterations
and improvements. The spacious room
in front with its numerous windows,
has been divided by partitions into
three rooms. two small private Offices
at the northern side of the building
and a large public office opening from
the stairway. Separated by double
doors is another large well-lighted room,
which will serve as a meeting room for
directors and officials of the Granite
Manufacturers Mutual Indemnity com
pany and a general business Office.
The rooms are neatly papered and
nainted woodwork and floors vanished
or shelIaeked, and large electric globes
and lamps suspend from the ceiling on
bright brass chains. Some new ONCE
equipment. together with the old, was
moved to these apartments yesterday
afternoon or last evening along with
papers OF 80 insurance companies,
which this agency represents.
The public Office in the new apart
ments is 80 feet long and II feet wide;
the two adjacent private offices Is feet
long and nine feet wide. and the di-
rectors' room about II feet square.
