Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 January 1909 — Building Boom Begins. [ARTICLE]

Building Boom Begins.

Hiram Day is the first Rensselaer man to begin a building boom because of the factory prospect So’ely because he believes that Rensselaer is to grow and thrive and be a larger city because of the factory chances he has broken ground for the construction of two good 8-room houses, each to be suppl’ed wl h water, baths, electric lights, etc. The houses are located on Mi’ton street, south of Jesse Snyder’s house, in Leopold’s addition. Mr. Day is one of the leaders in the lot sale boom, having contract d for five lots. He hes for years be n one of the city’s most progress!’e citizens, and. he knows what it wi 1 mean for this city to have factories operating here. His earnestness is evident from the fact that he announces that no mechanic can do an hour’s work on either of bls new houses who has not signed up for a lot. With more Hiram Days tr e factory securing would be an easy proposition.
