With the coming of the good
weather the past day or two,
work on the Post Office building
is making a fine showing. With
a number of fast brick layers at! -ant m Northeast Texas, and the I
work, the walls are going up j employees are doing all they can
rapidly, and all are above the
ground level now except the
south wail, where the chute for
mortar has been in operation.
This will soon be removed and
the south wall will be built up.
Theb rick that are to be used
after all the walls are above the
ground level will be red face
brick instead of the coarse ones
for the foundation work. If the
weather stays as it is for a few
more days the structure will
look like a real building.
