Work on the new store build

bravely on, and inspite of the
spite-work of J. Pluvius the
perseverance of Messrs. Bass
Bros. & Co., will yet be crowned
with success. In the meantime
Bass Bros & Co. are holding
down trade ac the F. J. Kane &
Co’s, old stand and Mr. Kane
reports traffic as very fine, all
things considered. Now is the
time to buy—because the firm
desires to move as few goods as
possible.

“Lower Broad street is in the
best condition I have ever seen
it in and I have known the
j street for a generation,” said
Mr. J. L. Camp to me this
morning. Continuing, Mr, Camp
[ said: “Fiona King’s corner, or
from Stolfregen’s, rather, down,
the street has a magnificent
foundation for paving.”
* *
*
“Now if, in a year or so when
the city fathers decide to begin
paving they will place a layer of
hard brick flat down, and then
on that, lay their pavers on edge,
they will build a street bed that
will last for generations.” If
there is anything about brick
that Mr. Camp don’t know, its
hot worth knowing.
