Show Spencer Clawsons New Building Twenty teams and forty men are now at work on the excavation for the business block of Spencer Clawsons to be located on tho piece of ground owned by him and in the rear of his present quarters on Main street a few rods north of the Roberts Ellerbeck building on First South Tho new wholesale house will be of brick and sill be built on the slowburning construction construc-tion plan which has found so much favor in the east and wherever it has been adopted and will be fully supplied with the latest automatic protection against fire In dimensions it will be 0100 feet and for the present two stories in height with basement It will be so built however that two more stories may be constructed at any time Mi Clawson may deem it to be necessary From First South street a cement sidewalk will be laid and the entire surroundings laid out and improved in every way Mi Claw son says the building will be completed and ready for occupancy by August next at which time he will remove re-move his entire stock from his present quarters The wisdom of the more he frankly said is doubted bj some butt but-t is only a question of time when other wholesale houses will find lain street rents away too high and will probably follow the example Why even low a big wholesale firm has eyes upon this piece opposite me and would purchase it tomorrow could they obtain a good title This move on the part of Mr Clawson would seem to be merely the entenig wedge which will eventually result iu the almost complete division of the block in question if not indeed of the other business busi-ness squares where real estate is so valuable valu-able |
