Notice.
As I have decided to erect a new
building of fireproof construction, for
Nelson's Photo Studio in Princeton,
I shall offer for sale the former studio
building which was partly damaged
by fire a few weeks ago. Here will
be a chance for someone to get all or
part of this building cheap. Lots of
good lumber in it and iron covering.
All the outside walls are intact and
the roof is of steel and therefore not
damaged. The long part of the build
ing would make a good garage or
workshop. It is so constructed that
it can be moved very easily. I shall
be at the building in Princeton next
Monday, the 14th, from 10 4o 2 o'clock.
Come in and get a bargain. P. J.
