J. Walsh Building „ With the advent of August a new period of moving and readjustment seems to have commenced in Mc- Henry. Some very notable changes took place this week when three of the well known and popular business firms of this city changed their location for the first time since they engaged In business here several years ago. The oldest one of these business houses is the general grocery and dry goods store under the name of Smith Brothers. Will Smith came to this city fourteen years ago, where he in company with his brother Louis, established their firm in the T. J. Walsh building where they remained until their removal on Monday of this week to one of the stores in the Walter E. Carey building just completed across the street. Two other brothers Ed and Arthur assist in the work at the store as well as Miss Qertrude Weber. The new home of this store is up-to-date in all respects, having a floor space 25x80 feet with ample room for the large stock which this firm is known to carry. , The next store space which is about the same size as that of Smith Bros., will be occupied by the McGee clothign store. Ray McGee, the popular owner of this successful business enterprise came here from Woodstock just eight years ago and commenced in the Heimer building which he has occupied up to the present time. He expects to move the last of this week or as soon as the new store space is ready for occupancy. His new store fixtures including racks, cases, counters, etc., are being installed and his stock of men's furnishings will be a most modern one. The basement of the Carey building will be occupied by a recreation hall under the management of Earl Monear and Emil Geier. The new building presents a very pleasing appearance being built on the Spanish type with light buff brick front trimmed in white sand stone with a projecting over-front of green tile. The front of each store apartment is composed of large windows of bevel glass set in copper frames which will afford ample space for the attractive display of merchandise. The Nobby Style Shop also moved on Monday from the J. J. Marshall buiding to the new store just completed by John P. Weber for Richard B. Walsh. This new home for the Nobby Style Shop is a most modern and pleasant one with large windows in the rear as well as in the front of the building which afford plenty of light and air. The proprietors of this business enterprise are Mesdames j E. Freund and Barbian who comim need two years ago in a store of ; , ;ies' furnishings and who have enjoyed an ever increasing patronage until their business grew to such proportions that it became impossible in their smaller quarters. They have installed all new fixtures, Including glass cases, racks, tables shelving, , and plan to increase their stock of millinery, wearing apparel, etc., to meet the ever increasing demands of MANY IMPROVEMENTS NOTED IN McHENRY Business Hpmm Are Being Dressed tl| and New Residences Arc Under Construction Improvements of various kinds may be noted throughout our busy little city these days. The Empire Theatre is being made more attracitve by the addition »f an ornamental awning over the fr«>nt entrance. The work is being done by A. C. Reynolds. The Barbian building on Green street, which is the home of The McHenry Plaindealer, now presents a much more attractive appearance since it received a covering of cream tinted stucco in Spanish effect. The work was done by the Artificial Stone company and the painting will be done by Walter Brooks. Another marked convenience and improvement which will be appreciated by visitors and home folks alike is the names of the streets which have been painted either upon the curbing or the concrete with other directions placed as needed The ornamental electric light posts on Green street received a coat of paint the first of the week and if this wielding of the paint brush continues our city will present a truly gala appearance. That the city is experiencing a healthful and steady development and growth is indicated in the construction of new dwellings from time to time and also in the growth of subdivisions and the ready sale of lots and other property. Math J. Baur has already under way a development which will do much to improve his property on the mill pond shore and give him several attractive building lots which will afford preferable sites for homes. The excavating machine operated by the Ule company has been at work for several weeks dredging the shore of the mill pond and at the same time building up the lots adjacent to it to a desired level. In this way the water will be deeper and the shore improved along the Baur property and the owner will have about twenty-five lots with frontage on the pond or on the street which bids fair to become a popular subdivision in the very heart of the city. Another subdivision which is rapidly being developed is known as Wattles' addition to McHenry and comprises about fifty acres on Center street and the driving park, extending through to Elgin road. Streets have already been laid out and graveled, sidewalks built and the entire acreage subdivided into lots, many of which have already been sold. Several owners have already built on their lots and others plan to do so in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Peterson are building a home on Center street the foundation of which has already been completed by the Artificial Stone Co. Mr. Peterson is doing the work himself on the bungalow, which will comprise four rooms, bath and sunporch and will make a pleasant and comfortable home. Work has also been commenced on a bungalow for Mr. and Mrs. Joe Williams. The mason work is being done by the Artificial Stone company while the carpenter work will be done by John P. Weber. This bungalow will consist of five rooms with a bath and sun porch and be modern and pleasant in every way. On the John R. Knox lot near the Wioodland cemetery work is progressing on the basement and foundation to which the James f B. Perry house BIG RIVER BRIDGE NEARS COMPLETION FOX RIVER'S LARGEST ,r STRUCTURE Eight Spaas, 65 Feet in Length, Will Be Finished Late in September Fox river's largest and finest bridge is fast nearing completion. As the old Fox river winds its way down through the state it is spanned by numerous attractive structures but it is safe to say that there are none more beautiful or imposing than the one, now under construction, will be when it is completed in the near future. The bridge, which will be approached from the east between the Charles Rietesel home and the Sohm property, will have its terminal on the west at Elm street, between the Riverside hotel and the George Kramer property and will be the final connecting link in Route 20. The bridge will be an eight-span construction, each span being sixtyfive feet in length and will consist of concrete throughout, including deck and rails. The total improvement will cover about 800 feet while the superstructure or bridge proper will be about 520 feet. It is supported by seven piers running parallel with the current of the river and will have about fifteen feet of water clearance, making ample allowance for the passage of passenger and pleasure boats during the summer. It will present a most beautiful appearance, which will be added to by the vertical as well as the horizontal curve upon which it is built and will be the only one of the kind in the state. The floor of the bridge is already in and the Wydell company which is do ing the work has also received the contract and will lay the four-inch second covering of cement required by the state. The railing at the sides was started the first of the week and will be of simple design with 15-inch arches. The entire design will be one of simplicity with the massiveness of the concrete adding to the grandeur of its appearance. The roadway will be thirty feet wide with a five-foot walk at each side which will alleviate the serious congestion of present traffic and also the danger of accidents. The abutment at the east end of the bridge is completed and the property line wall is being built this week The last section of the retaining wall in the abutment at the west end of the bridge is being made this week, also, and the filling of the approaches will be commenced very soon. With a fill of 2,000 yards at one end and 3,000 yards at the other end this will mean that a large amount of gravel will be necessary to complete the fill. It is hard to believe that this enormous undertaking, which was commenced late last fall, is so rapidly nearing completion but if favorable conditions continue the bridge will be completed by the latter part of September, which will be some two months earlier than the date of completion set at the start of the work. The construction of the bridge which is being accomplished by the Wydell Co. BOBB STUDIO SOLD TO DES PLAINES MAN Henry Nielsen Purchases Business on Wankegan Street Conducted by Mrs. Ada.R, Bobb A business transaction took effect on Monday, August 1, in which Mrs. Ada Bobb disposed of her photograph studio to Henry Nielsen of DesPlaines. Mrs. Bobb has for some time felt the need of a relief from her duties which kept her so closely confined and was glad^o accept the opportunity to give over her studio to a man whom she feels is competent and capable to continue with the work in a manner which will be pleasing and acceptable to her many patrons. Since the death of her husband, three years ago, Bfrs. Bobb has carried on the work of the studio alone and the ever increasing patronage she has received is the best proof of the satisfaction that she has given in her line of work. Mr. and Mrs. Bobb with their son and daughter came here seven years ago from Monroe, Wis., and took over the studio and the property from Frank Schnabel and during their residence here have endeared themselves to all who know them and they have many friends who will regret to have them sever connections which hold them here. Mrs. Bobb has not decided just where she will locate and plans to spend some time visiting relatives and friends before she makes any definite plans. She appreciates and desires to thank the people of McHenry and surrounding community for their patronage during the years she has been here and if she has given satisfaction she feels compensated for her work. Mr. and Mrs. Nielsen have already arrived and have taken over the work and they with their little four year old daughter plan to make this their home. They come from the Nielsen studio at DesPlaines where they have lived for many years and where they have met with success in their line of work. Mrs. Nielsen comes from a family of photographers and has had much experience in the work and she with her husband desire to please the public and give satisfactory service in every way. the people.

CAR TURNS TURTLE NEAR ORIS WOLD'S LAKE Father and Son, Who Had Not Met For Twenty Years, Injured In Accident While enroute to McHenry from Chicago where they had planned to enjoy a fishing trip over the weekend a party of Chicago people met with an accident late Saturday afternoon near Griswold's Lake which caused injuries to both men and wrecked the car in which they were riding. The two men, father and son, were traveling in a Buick roadster with the younger man driving and as they came over the hill, near the George Scheid home at Griswold's Lake, traveling at a gbod rate of speed, they were unable to make the turn at the foot of the hill which threw the car off the road causing it to turn over into the ditch. Spectators from the Scheid home and the cottagers along the lake hurried to the scene of the accident and lifted the car from the men. The driver was not seriously injured, although he was badly bruised with cuts about the head and face. The elder man, was more seriously hurt, was brought to McHenry by Peter Justen, who happened to be at the scene of the accident, and taken to the office of a local physician, where his wounds were WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS OMNTERESI TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Assortment of Newsy Items b a Condensed Form Far Busy People Death summoned oneof.

Joe Carivs, 30 years old, Who runs the boat livery and who handles the bathing suits for those who go to Druce's Lake for recreation purposes is quite the hero of the Druce's Lake district due to the fact that he saved a man from drowning on Wednesday of this week. Going beyond his depth in his first attempt at swimming, John Lucas, a 13-year-old boy of Niles was drowned along the east shore of Banks lake Wauconda recently. The boy had gone in bathing from the shore of the Lake Villa subdivision following a family outing. He was not able to swim, but was .playing about in the water and finally slipped out beyond his depth. He struggled about in the water for a few moments but sank from view before anyone could reach him. A car driven by Mrs. Ed Thacker of Woodstock, and having as passengers, Mrs. William Botts and her daughter, was struck by a Chicago car near Palatine Tuesday morning of last week. They were thrown from their car and badly cut and bruised, but were able to return home a few hours after the accident.

The present drive is not yet complete as a few committees have so far failed to complete the sections assigned them. Some few persons who were allotted tickets for sale have also failed to submit a complete report and it is hoped to finish the present drive for the next issue of The Plaindealer. Every property owner in McHenry is urged to contribute as generously as possible to this fund !n order to make possible the early purchase of fire equipment. It seems that it should be unneccessary to have to plead and ask for this financial assistance in view of the fact that fire protection is for the mutual welfare of the entire community. Contributions can be made to the Fox River Valley State Bank, or by check made payable to the American Legion Fire Fund and mailed to J. W. Worth, General Chairman.
