WILL BE FILLED,
People Flock To The Best Blocks In
Every City.
Just ns soon ns the Holbrook
brick is ready for occupancy there
will be a rush for the rooms.
Some of these have been leased
since the foundations of the build
ing were in and there is a strong
yearning for the completion of the
building.
The upper floor will be devoted
to offices entirely. Dr. Hartel,
Dr. Holland, Dr. MacLnchlan, and
Attorney Parker will be the occu
pants and it is more than likely
Dr. Rossiter will arrange to rent
the only remaining suite in order to
be with the other professionals.
The ground floor will be occu
pied by G. W. Overstrcet, plum
ber, St. Johns Grocery Compatiyin
the comer store while the remain
ing store-room has been leased by
a Portland party who asserts that
he will add another barbershop to
the two already here.
The St. Johns Grocery Company
has a lease upon its present store
that will not expire for about a
year but several offers have al
ready been received by those wish
ing to lease it. But the removal
would be made even if the building
wns to remain vacant.
Occupants of a brick building
possess a feeling of safety which is
worth much. The Holbrook brick
is a safe building and there is a
great advantage in feeling that
one's possessions are not in a fire
trap which could be destroyed in
the twinkling of an eye by a
dropjed match or u discarded cigar.
