(From Saturday’s Dally)
Most of the shipments that are

There is almost everything in the
building material line included In
the shipmemnts which are coming

car loads of brick to be used for
paving. There are many cars of
lime, cement and sand to be used In
the various Improvements which
are being made here. There
are many cars of marble, granite
and artificial stone for decorating
the many buildings which are be

There are many cars of ordinary
brick and the finest pressed brick
