At last that most magnificent and interesting; structure which
adorns the leading business thoroughfare of this great commer
cial mart is finished. It is pronounced by one and all the highest
embodiment of artistic grace and architectural beauty. The pride
which we justly take in this unsurpassable edifice is (we know)
shared in by all who have the interests, material prosperity and
phenomenal progress of this wonderful city at heart. We feel
particularly triumphant in having at last accomplished the great
task undertaken at a time when our laudable project was beset
by difficulties and obstacles almost, insurmountable. It affords
us pleasure to enumerate the RED-LETTER DAYS which
have marked the construction of this splendid building. On April
7 the first bricks of the old shanties were loosened by the work
men. On July 6 the cornerstone was laid with appropriate cere
monies. On September 1 7 o'ur proud banner was unfurled from the
flagstaff. On October 1 9 the preliminary opening occurred. And on
THURSDAY, NOV. 17, THE GRAND AND FORMAL
DEDICATION WILL TAKt 'PLAGE,
