Store Building.
HUY EARLYCHOOSE WHILE OUR STOCKS
As predicted early in the year,
when several announcement of pr
losed now structure were made,
th after-the-war building Ihhhh in
Walla Walla actually commenced the
past week, when jrrountl was brok
en hy the A. M. Jensen Company
f r the erection of a magnificent
new store buildhig on the lot which
it acquired some months ago, sit-
ated on East Main sheet just east
of tho American theatre. .
. Condemnation proceedings to
open Colville street from Main to
.vlder were tiled in the superior
court by City Attorney H. B. No
land, the city commission having
previously decided to make this
improvement in the business dis

will be the largest and most modern
department store building between
Spokane and Portland.
It will have a frontage of 170
feet on Colville street and will have
a full basement, for which 6500
cubic yards of earth must be re

stories as time and business con

The other construction will be of FRIDAT, JPHE
terra cotta and there will be con
tinuous glass .window frontage of
the most modern and up-to-date
design for the display of merchan

streets. The display windows will
be one of the notable features of
the big establishment. A feature
of the store will be a marquee ex
tending full length on- Main and
Colville streets, affording protec
