Show ANOTHEB DEAL A1 A SOT II KK SCOOJ. Several months wio .1 representative of the Syius Grocery company of Atchison, Kas.. arrived in tlm city to determine whether to abolish their ageucv here altogether, or whether to make this the headquarters for their main business; for one or the other they decided to do, as a mere agency, such an they maintained, was not a satisfactory arrangement for them. A bout a week ago Mr. A. B. SlM8, the senior partner of the firm, arrived in ralt Lakp anrl j wt onfe'opened negutiatiens for the pur. chase of a site upon which to erect a suitable suit-able building into which to move his immense im-mense business. The deal was consumated yesterday when Mr. Svms bought a lot on Second South street, between Second and Third West, the details of which are given in another column of this paper. Of course The Times kept its weather eye upon the gentleman from the moment he struck town until the deal was concluded. Of course, I also, the other papers remained in blissful bliss-ful ignorance of anything that was going on. It is ever thus in these halcyon hours. Mr. Svms returns to Atchison tonight, but not until he shall have completed all preliminary prelimin-ary arrangements to start work on a three-story three-story and basement building, to be used exclusively ex-clusively for his wholesale business. Kx-cavations Kx-cavations thereon will commence at ouce, and when ii is finished the company will put In a stock worth SIOO.OOO. A railroad switch will tie run in so as to facilitate shipping, etc. Altogether it is the largest enterprise that this city has secured in many a month and one that may attract others in the natural sequence of things. And altogether, sub rosa and modestly it may be said, The Times is the best newspaper news-paper in the widest sense of the term that Salt Lake has ever had. |
