NEW FACTORIES
Is Negotiating With
Two Big New York
Firms for Knight St.
Sites
Plans have been drawn up for
William Krusch'. realty operator of
the first district. for a‘three story
business building in Main street.
This building. a brick structur‘
will complete all preliminary work
in addition to offices and apartments
on thesecond andthird floor.
It “understood that Mr. Krusch
will complete all preliminary work
veryshortly. and will be ready to
start construction before the end of
the summer.
The newbuildlng will be located in
or about the’vicinity of- 32 Main
street where the Bucket poultry store
is now located. Adjoining property
may also enter into the deal. This
property belongs to Mr. Krusch, and
it'is expected that the Wooden
structure now there would be totally
razed. Mr. Krusch is negotiating'at
the present time with two large New
York manufacturing concerns for
sites in Knight street.
The names of these concerns could
not be learned this morning. but it
is gathered from authentic sources
that both pllnts are large. with
branches in New York and San
Francisco. It is expected that they
Would employ about 500 or 800
workers in theirliocal branches.
Both concerns expressed great
satisfaction with the sites- offered by
Mr. Krusch. and it is believed at the
present time that the only obstacle
which stands in the way is the prob-
lem of housing conditions. High
class labor would be'employed.
This announcement comes in ad-
dition to Mr. Krusch'I negotiations
. with the Icy Hot Thermos Bottle
