MANY TRANS
FERS IN REAL1
ESTATE HERE
MR. L. C. SHARPE MAXES PUR
CHASE OF MORE GROUND
FOR NEW BUILDING.
ACTIVITY III MARKET MAIIIFES
II.
M. Soennichsen Also Makes Pur
chase of Henrichsen Building.
To Be Used as Storeroom.
From Wednesday's Dally.
The matter of the coming of the
Auto Power and Malleable Mann
facturiug Company, coming to this
city is realy making its Influence
felt in the movement of real estate
There has been purchased by Mr. L
C. Sharpe, who has had the Western
Machine and Foundry Company, for
so long and who has made this
great success, and which now has
more business than he is able to find
men readily to do. Of the store room
which has been owned by Mr. Aug
riach, which is situated on Main
street, has caused them to look else
where for something to take its place
They were successful as they pur
chased the room which has "been used
by II. M. Soennichsen next to their
store room, and makes a most, adapt
able place for their storige depart
ment. When this purchase was made,
this has put Mr. Soennichsen on the
market for a place for a store hoii.-:e,
and he has found a place which is
much better for him as it is the place
owned by Wm. Henrichsen, Just east
of this office. This. has been pur
chased by Mr. Soennichsen and will
make a very good place, as heretofore
he has been compelled to make a
trip and two blocks for stuff which
he has had stored. Now he is within
few feet of the place and has been
better accomodated as well. Not
alone is this true. Then by the pur
chasing of the remainder of the prop
erty in the block in which the Wes
tern Machine and Foundry Com
pany have their plant, puts the occu
pants of those places in need of a
new location for their places. The
Olson Photo Co., with the disposition
of the place where they are now .do
ing business will be in need of a
place to do business which will
eventually market another piece of
Piattsmouth property, as will also the
disposition of the Odd Fellows build
ing require that they also make a
move to secure another place for a
borne for that lodge. A committee
of the trustees are now cut looking
for a place to purchase or build in
case they dispose of their building
which it looks like they will. In the
purchasing of, the property-on the
south half of the block south of the
court house, the change will maVe
the need of a place for the laundry,
and will Urns create a demand for
another location.
This plant which is being formed
now and when completed will not
only employ the increased number of
men for this city to feed, clothe and
otherwise care for, but there will be
many additional homes which will be
required for them to be housed in.
The man having the establishing of
the matter in hand on account of the
sterling worth of the plant are meet
ing with good success. With just
the work which has been done, creat
ing the amount of increased busi
ness activity, we expect the ult'mate
construction to make a permanent
and increased better business condi
tion which will make a great and
better business city, as well as in
many other ways.
