RUILRING OX EAST FRONT
STREET.
Tho new warehouse building which
was started some weeks ago by Simon
Bros, is practically finished and will
bo ready for uso in a few days. It la
located on East Front Street in tho 900 (
block. It Is 6G feet wide by- 75 feet
deep and will havo track frontage. It '
will bo divided into four rooms, two
of which the Simon Bros, firm will
occupy and two will bo for rent. Tho
building is well finished being built
of Ham & Fan-Is Cement Brick in nat
ural color. It is located so that It
will havo plenty of driveway space on
tho east and south while tho tracks
will come right up to the building on
tho north. It is a ono story building
with fourteen foot celling enabling tho
ono roof to cover a large amount of
storage space.
In order for a city to be a distribu
ting point It must havo storage spaco
where consignments can bo placed
during distribution. Every firm can
not afford to own n storage plant but 1
it can afford to pay tho storage i
charges on local consignments which
are received In carload lots although

goods in its own plant. The space
was built with the idea that as the
Thisjness expanded it would finally
take over the whole building but until
then, the space In excess of their needs '
will be rented. This supplies a need .
which will help Not1 th Platte to grow.
