To Be Handsome Building. The new home of the Lahr sales de- partment on Fourth street will be one of the handsomest buildings in the city, The ground floor rooms will have an 18-foot ceiling,‘giving the first storey an unusual heighth. There will be a full basement and a second stor- ey, devoted to the service department. The new building will connect at the rear with the brick striicture now be- ing utilized, 50 by 70 feet, two storeys high, and the basement will be extend- ed under this structure. The new sec- tion on Fourth will be 50 by 140 feet, constructed of artistic Hebron brick, and trimmed in Bedford stone. The construction’ planned will give the Lahr Motor Sales Co. a total floor space of 40,000 square feet. Seven years ago President W. E. Lahr be- gan business as agent for the Over- land in a frame building 20 feet wide and 60 long, located on the site of the present Fourth street sales rooms. The fact that a business for which 3,000 feet of ffoor space was found ample in 1909 has expanded in 1916 to a point where more ‘than 12 times that: space: is required, spells an. un-|f usually rapid progress for this dis- tinctive Bismarck institution, whose, territory embraces all of western North Dakota and a large section of eastern Montana. 3 WILL RETURN STONES BUT SAYS: SHE.
