BUSINESS PROPERTY

Bought by Sam Fendig Which He Occupies on Washington Street. James Hemphill of Danville, IP., was here Wednesday closing up the sale of the" ~ brick building where Fendig’s Fair store is located, to Sam Fendig. The price received .was $6,500. This property is in a good location, and while the building has been erected many years, it being one of the early brick store buildings in Rensselaer, it is well worth the price paid, especially to Mr. Fendig, who has built up a very prosperous business in this location and could ill afford to move even though he might secure a better building at a lower price. The building was erected in 1886. The property has a frontage of 1 9y 2 feet on Washington street and is 150 feet deep, running back to the alley. At the price sold for it would be worth $334 a front foot.
