The Brigham City Mercantile & Manufacturing Association, familiarly famili-arly known as the Co-op. opened up their grand, new building, Monday. Mon-day. This handsome structure is ten years ahead of the place, but by its completion it boosts the whole City ahead five years. It is a brave, deserving forerunner of more timid enterprises, which will now be imbued im-bued with additional progressive zeal, life and confidence. 1 The new Co-op is a huge struct-ture struct-ture situated in the very center of the City, on the corner of Main and Forest streets. The dimensions' dimen-sions' are 53x106. It is built of brick. Counting the big basement, the building is four stories in height. The three undivided up- per apartments are spacious; have high ceilings and are unusually well lighted. The powerful pilasters supporting support-ing the building, are set on gray sand stone bases which weigh tons each. In addition to these stalwart stal-wart supports, there are four strong iron pillars, one dividing each pair of large windows, which of themselves them-selves are powerful enough to bear the weight of the entire building. The cornice is of galvanized zinc; the roof is fire proof. The large windows on the ground lloor are graced wiib the finest. French plate glass. They alone cost $1. 000. The floor of each story is amply supported by two long rows of sturdy pillars. The walls and ceiling ceil-ing of t:ie airy rooms are all of hard fi lish, smooth and solid. The comulete.l structure cost upwards of 20.000. A Lloler reporter was shown tb rough the buildintr, Monday morning, by President Snow. This wns the opening day.
