Depending only on I he Fi £ o putting
in a switch along tin* rear ol the lots on
which us property is located the Alton |
Morcaniilo company will begin the eroc
lion of a large wholesale esiablishuiem
and tvarchou <e on Mi pie street one
block east of Grand in ICtii I. OklaluMii i,
in the noar future, as soon as its plans
can be prepired flio new buildiiu
will be U'' feet, tbree stories, twoj
a')ove groun l and theo her a I isement. .
only partu!i:v above, bu: the same six-*
as the upper stories The building;
will front east on Maple and run to the
alley 011 First street on the west. It
will lie built of brick. The floor space ;
afforded will be 1H3.000 square feet, ,
which is i*.000 more than than that o* !
the building the company now occupies
on South Grand. A. A Crowell is pre- |
paring plans for the structure.
At r«i^ue,i of the Alton com pair, an
ordinance was adopted at a specif i'
meeiing ol the city oouncil la< i wee,
granung.a right-of way along the alley
in 1 he roar of tiie two blocks bet wren
the Loo wen hotel and 'the Frisco rail-
load. TI.is h> for the purpose of per-
mitting the Frisco to build a switch in
the alley. The matter of building the!
switch has already been taken up wiO. !
1 ho road. On the Frisco's action in
this matter will depend whether or no1
1 lie big structure is erected b .! there is
every prospeci that the railroad will lav i
the track desired
The Alton company proceeding on !
the theory that the Hack will bo built
and is preparing to have its home erect-
ed.
The Alton company owns five twenty- I
five foot. !e?s at the proposed vno. The
east fifty leet. will not bo occupied bv
the wholesale house, but a laTge barn
 %iii he eroi ied there, and li e small |
cottage now on the pro( erfy will be
kept for the barn man. This [ r ■[ *rr
was purchased by the Alton compan-
over a year ago for bui'ding purposes
from Walter Drown, consideration
$5,000.
The reason for not erecting the new
building higher is that where so much '
heavy good- have 10 he handled the e* !
pense is less with fewer slorios in th♦* ;
warehouse. In the new building i; will
-not be necessarv to transfer goods more ;
than one strtry above or below the inat.i 1
'001 and a vast amount of labor will '
bo thus saved.
The coffee roisting plant will occupy
the rear of the second story.
