WARN PAINT STORE
PROPRIETOR OUT OF
NORTH BLOCK SITE

Hillmans. Inc, an establishment
which has been doing business in Au-
gusta since 1888 and which for the
past 20 years has been located in the
North building at 1919 Water street,
will, by force of circumstances, cease
to exist after September I. This de-
cision has been reached by F. w. Hill
man. the proprietor, because of the
scarcity of locations in the city and
the fact that he has been given notice
that he must vacate by September i.
Notice was conveyed to Mr.. Hillman
by Henry MacGunnisle, agent for Mrs.
MacGunnigle and Mrs. w. Fl. Harris,
owners of the building under the re-
cent apportionment of the estate of the
late James w. North. which estate
was held in trust until the death a
short time ago Of Horace North. At
that time the terms of the trust termi-
mated and in the division which fol-
lowed this building was taken over by
Mrs NacGunnisle and Mrs. Harris. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Hillman was
not offered the alternative of accept
ing an increase In rent but was asked
to vacate the store because it was not
desired to have a paint store in the
block.
Mr.. Hillman has decided that be-
cause of rent conditions here he will
be obliged to close out his entire stock
and as the time is short will begin a
closing out sale at once, commencing
on Saturday if possible to arrange his
stock by then. With regard to his
plans after September l. he is not alb
solutely decided. but he expects to
move with his family to some point
outside the State of Maine.
