Putting Another Story On New Depot Business.

After the side walls had been completed and the roof all but the shingles put on the new restaurant bunding, it was decided to raise it to two stories and the roof was taken off and the raising done. The building is being erected by Mrs. James Snedeker and Mrs. Lura Pennell, who will conduct a restaurant therein. They owned the former C. G. Spitler property, just north of the depot and this was sold to Simon Hochstettler and this decided them to put another story on the restaurant for a living flat There will be six rooms on the upper floor. Simon Hockstettler recently sold his home, the former George Barens property, to John W. King.
