Work Begun of Remodeling The Democrat’s New Quarters.

The work of tearing away the shelving preparatory to remodeling the lower floor of the building soon to be occupied by The Democrat on the south side of Washington street, was begun Thursday and it is expected to have everything in readiness for removal of our presses an.i machinery the last week, in February. The present front entrance will be torn out and the doorways brought out flush vith the side windows, with a door on each side of the center, giving it more the appearance of two rooms, which the front part will hereafter be. The center partition will be lath and plastered and run back 45 feet, and the west room which will, either be made 12x45 or 14x45, is for rent. This' will: make a splendid room and several parties are already after it. The rear a partition will also be lath and plastered. The front room of the flat on the second floor, a fine large room, would make an ideal dress-making shop, of' which there is a fine opening here for another shop, there being a great dearth of dressmakers in Rensselaer and many ladies have to go out of town to get their dresses made as a result, i This room is also for rent as will be the remainder of the flat in the rear thereof, consisting of several nice rooms, fitted with- electric lights, city water, toilet etc. The third floor will be utilized for storage, and parties having light furniture or other personal effects which they wish storage for can be accommodated at reasonable rates. Parties desiring to rent any of these rooms or wanting storage, will please call on The Democrat.
