CLARK'S ADDITION. 



The I-:verett B. Clark Seed Co. is 

 making an addition to its building at 

 Orreen Bay, Wis. The company some 

 time ago bought additional land for 

 the pfirpose, adjoining the old property, 

 and now has a building site 178x410 

 feet, wfth the tracks of the Chicago & 

 Northwestern railway on one side, those 

 of the Green Bay & Western railway 

 on another and the waters of Green bay 

 on the third. 



On the property recently acquired 

 the company is putting up an addition 

 to its warehouse that is to be ready for 

 occupancy by October 1. The addition 

 is 60x100 feet, three stories and a base- 

 ment, and is of brick construction. This 

 will materially add to the company's 

 capacity at Green Bay, where it handles 

 principally seed peas and beans. By 

 means of the addition the company will 

 not only provide additional storage 

 space, but will also install another Otis 

 freight elevator, equipment to accom- 

 modate ninety-five more women for 

 hand-picking, and also another seed 

 cleaner. The Everett B. Clark Co. now 

 has three establishments for th«r han- 

 dling of seed peas and beans, the one 

 .it Green Bay, Wis., and others at Sis- 

 ter Bay, "Wis., and East Jordan, Mich. 



The Clark Seed Co. is adding to its 

 plant at the home office, Milford, Conn., 

 putting up at the present time a brick 

 warehouse 38x62 feet, three stories and 

 a basement, on property recently ac- 

 quired near the freight depot at Mil- 

 ford. This will be ready in time to be 

 of service in handling the company's 

 1911 crop of seeds grown in Con- 

 nettii'Ut. 



ROCHESTER. 





The Market. 



Tlif hot weather affected flowers and 

 [)eople alike, including the Shriners, 

 and made them all feel wilted. We 

 have had no rain for a few weeks; there 

 were few or no cool breezes, and even 

 the niflMs were warm, which is un- 

 usual for this city. Dust, drought and 

 heat made themselves felt at every 

 turn, so that one really longed for a
