RESIDEN CES ARE BUILT Outlook for 1920 is Said to be Even More Promising than the Excellent Season Just Closed. The year 1919 waa the moat prosperous that has been experi enced In Albany since 1912, and it is doubted If even that year could equal the one just cloedl from the standpoint of building activity Business buildings arose on all sides and there was almoet en epi demic of new garage buildings. Z. M. Ralston and Son started the garage activity by erecting a beautiful new building at the corner of Seventh and. Lyon Streets, to take care of their growing business. The cost was be tween $8,000 and $10,000. Then fol lowed the Highway Garage, Inc., wha built a fine two-story faced brick biulding at First and Baker Streets at a cost of about $18,000, giving tiien one of the best garages in the state. This was followed by the commenc ing of construction on the newj Cwu story garage building of n simitar type by the Murphy Motor Cov at Second and Eellsworth Streets. The brick work is now nearly done and -the biulding is being rushed to com pletion as rapidly aa possible. Fol lowing this came thi announcement: of the Pfeiffer estate of a. one-story brick at Second and Ellsworth for the Day Motor Company, and work is go ing ahead rapidly on this structure. The Albany Steam Laundry was the first to commence building operation during the year and in September moved into their new, modern plant at Second and Tivrr Sh-:ct3. FaOosn ing the fire which wiped out the Ne& ergrll packing plant, the owners lost no time in setting to work again and soon had under way on the rufrw of the old building a three-story build ing of concrete that is without a peer in the state from point of modern conveniences. The cost of the buihf inc is about $45 000. The Far Wcs Mf". Co., added to the building opera tions by constructing an addition to their factory on South Ferry Street and other factories and business (Continued on Page 12, Section 1) 3000000000000000 O " 9 O NEW CLASSIFrBD 9 U o OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOr LOST Cameo Pin and Chain, Reward offered at Democrat Office.
