SI ORE TO ENLARGE
Frank & Seder Obliged to Obtain More
Floor Space
Between 15,000 and 20 000 square feet of.
.lloyf space will be added to the present
Frank & Seder store, Kleventh and Market
treets. In the near future. It was an-
aounccd today.
The Frank & Seder store has been at Its
present location less than two years. The
demand has been t-o great that thp store was
compelled to obtain more floor space. Ac
cordingly It his leased the four-story-and-basement
building adjo'nlng at 1031 Market
street. In the near future tho entire build
ing will be remodeled nnd redecorated and
thrown open to an Increasing trade. The
Boors aje 150 by 20 feet.
and wrapped In paper, there was a laigc
quantity of curled hair In the place.
Next door to thc place at 972 Beach
street Is the home of Edward McAleer, nn
old landmark In the vicinity. Employes of
the Philadelphia Traction Company, whose
barn Is across the street, came over In
a body and began shlftlrg McAleer's fur
niture' over Into their barn. Across tho
street is also the building of the Northern
Liberties Gas Company, the Nichols Box
Factory anil neaiby are sevcrel lumber
jaids.
Al'hough the Kxcelslor Storage Houe.
which is owned by Morris Wolfe, was
nearU destroyed by this time, It was felt
necessary for protective reasons to send in
another alarm. This brought to the scene
more apparatus. Including the high-pressure
service. By using every precaution the
firemen succeeded In saving ihe home of
Mr. McAleer. but on account of tho ln
ftammatorv nature of the excelsior, nothing
much couid be done for thc building that
held It.
