FINE NEW STORE ROOM BEING BUILT

James Snedeker Erecting One-Story Veneered Brick Building for His Grocery Store. . James Snedeker, who- has - been running the old depot grocery store in the Nowels building north of the railroad track, is now building a storeroom for himself on the south side of .the track, facing Main street .and occupying the corner of Vine street. The building is to be a good one and a credit to that part of the town. The arrangement' is an excellent one, providing an entrance on both streets, living rooms in the corner, a cemented basement under the rear of the storeroom and a large glass front for the store. It has already been framed and construction is being rushed as* fast as possible. Louie Muster is in charge of the carpenter work. The building is to be veneered with brick, which have already arrived. It is 34x60 feet in dimensions, the store room being 20 feet wide in front and 34 feet in the rear, the corner being made into living apartments. The basement is 10x20 feet in dimensions and has a stairway leading to it from the storeroom and another from the outside. When completed it will be the best arranged storeroom ever built in that part of town and Mr. Snedeker expects to carry a large stock of goods which his growing business demands.
