that the building and real estate trade
in Newark at present is better than
it has been for long time and the
depression that seems to be grasping
other parts of the country in this
line is not being felt here. A better
sign of prosperity is not to be had
for a locality and Newark should pat
iself on the back.
Business men have waited for the
time when building material and
labor would drop to point nearer
normalcy in price and this time has
arrived and those who have been
contemplating improvements and en-
! largements, now see their way clear
to go out and do this work. The open
fall has also been boom to building
and advantage has been taken OF it.
| Newark by it's building is keeping in
the progress step that has developed
in this country during the past few
years, and Main Street takes on a
more Metropolitan aspect with every
improvement.

g town, is also in for a remodeling, and
y extensive alterations to this building
will be made by C. B. Dean, who will

Probably one of the biggest opera
en- tions pending is that Of Isaac Mar
We ritz. This merchant has been promi-
is nent in business circles locally for q
IS, number of years and has always hao
n everything that department store is
he expected to carry but his business ha:
'ly increased to a point where it is nee
essary for him to enlarge on hi
lar present quarters, on Main Stree
,re above Choate. He has purchased tn
ny property of Miss Jennie Campbell
and will, combining this with hi
present property, have one of tn
largest stores of the town. Abou
$4,000 or $1,000 will be expended b
the owner on the proposition. M
y. Marritz also states that he will II
at crease his stock several thousand DO
W. lars and give to the people OF Newa1
and vicinity the advantage Of me
-- chandise that are generally found

Large and spacious show windoV
