At the time Bennett, Wheeler & Co., moved into their new store building on the northeast corner of the square, just opposite their old quarters, about the first of January, the Ties promised to make a more extended announcement of the change, and as the firm is now fully established in their new and elegant quarters, we deemed that a short description of their new building, (which is the pride of Butler) their increase of business, and their large and varied stock of goods, will be of | interest to our readers in Bates and adjoining counties. But, before attempting to describe their new building, etc., it is due Bennett, Wheeler & Co., that we go back to the fall of 1881, when the firm made its bow to the citizens of Butler and Bates county, in the 20x50 old frame building on the northwest corner of the square, which was moved away to make room for the Missouri State Bank | building. At this time their stock of goods was small and consisted principally of groceries and hard- ware. But as soon as the new firm took hold of the business, their trade be | gan to increase and Mr. Bennett was not long in discovering that more room was absolutely necessa- | ry te success, consequently he be- gan to cast about for a building, and in the year 1883, thought himself fortunate in securing the large brick building, which they have just vacat- | ed on the northeast corner of the square. Once into it and having the use of the entire building, cellar, | first and second floors, Mr. Bennett | thought they were fixed and had ample room for any and all emer- gencies. In this they were again mistaken, as their increase in stock and trade, demanded still more room, and the firm found it absolutely necessary to buy alot on the corner of Dakota and Lyon streets and erect an iron} building 25x100 feet for a storage and salesroom for their now im- mense stock of buggies, carriages, phetons, spring and farm wagons and farm implements. This did very well for a short time, when it was discovered that | this arrangement was not satisfactc- ry, as it was too inconvenient, andj} Mr. Bennett again put his wits to work tosecure a location for the par- pose of consolidating the business. He worked on his plans for al most two years and finally was suc- cessful in finding a man in the per- son of P. E. Emery, a capitalist of Kansas City, who agreed to put up | for the firm just such a building as| they desired. The architects were} put to work, and in a short time three sets of plans and specifications were presented Mr. Bennett for his selection and approval, and as to how well he did his work, the Tres points its readers with pleasure and pride to the substantial and hand- some structure on the northeast cor- ner of the public square, which Bennett, Wheeler & Co., moved into on the first day of the new year. And right here, as this building, since the burning of the opera house, |is considered the pride of Butler, a brief description of its magnitude and a good word for the firm who occupies it will not be amiss. THE BUILDING | is 50x100 feet, two stories high, and jis built of pressed brick acd cut stone. The entire front being plate glass, and very showy. Large dou- ble windows in the front, side and rear of the second story makes this room light and airy. There is no} partitions in the building and the! two large rooms which contain a floor capacity of ten thousand feet, furnish ample room for the display | of goods. In addition to the above| the south corner of this building is} decorated with a handsome dome, pee the rear is an elevator suf-! pemenety large to transport any arti-j| cle desired to the second story. In | short this building is one of the] | largest, handsomest and best arrang- | jed of any similar structure in south- ; west Missouri, and the firm is justly | proud of their new quarters. 3 } ut of the south side _ of the building, and is presided over | |r M. 5.
