More Work Now In Progress
Than AT Any Time Since
The Big Fire.
PLANS CALL FOR BIGGER
AND BETTER STRUCTURES

Building operations in Pocomoke
City are at present moving along on
more extensive scale than at any
time since the disastrous confagra-
tlon of April 18th. The extent of
these activities now in progress can
1e appreciated when it is known that
the sum of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars is now in process
OF being spent in Pocomoke for new
buildings. All plans call for bigger
and better structures to take the
place of those that were destroyed,
and everything is in harmony with
the idea of bigger and better Po-
comoke City which is now rapidly
taking shape and form before the
eyes of our citizens. The good wealth
CT now prevailing has put an impetus
on the operations and it now seems
likely that within the course of a
very few weeks some of our leading
business firms will be doing business
1t their old stands in their more i'm
posing and commodious quarters.
The building to be occupied by r.
J. Lambden & Son is now nearly clos
ca in and this firm expects to move in
about October 1st.
The new store of Lloyd & Blaine
has reached about the same stage of
completion and these enterprising
druggists also expect to be doing
business in their new store by the first
Of October.
The E. W. Veasey building on the
corner of Market street and Clarke
avenue is now practically completed
and as we go to press the firm of H.
W. Callahan & Sons is making active
preparations to move in at once.
Foundations are now being laid for
the new I. F. Hargis building, which
as all of our people know will occupy
the sight of the old Dickinson block.
detailed description of this store
which appeared in our last issue indi-
Gated roughly the magnitude and the
ragnificence of this store, which it is
safe to say will be when completed
unparalleled in any town in Mary
land outside of the metropolis of Bal
timore and will be credit not only to
Focomoke City and Worcester Coun-
ty, but to the entire Eastern Shore.
Mr. Milton l.. Veasey, owner and pro-
prietor, announces that he has made
complete arrangements for large
fody of workmen and for the rapid

A new business enterprise in POGO

building, situated at the corner of
Market and Second streets, on the

Mr.. Milton l.. Veasey in the rear of

was given in one of our recent is

The brick work on the new store
building for N. Davis & Sons has
been completed and the interior is
now being finished up. The entrances
to this building will front on Willow
street and with the large show Win

section.
