NEW STEEL GLASS BUILDING.

Is to Be Erected at Southeast Corner
of Twelfth and Walnut.

An all glass and steel building will be erected on the southeast corner of Twelfth and Walnut streets by the Grand Pants Company. The ground, which is occupied by the old Ricksecker building, was leased yesterday by Sam Gretzer. He said the old building would be torn down in April and construction of the new building begun. The building probably will be six stories in height of steel construction with entire glass front and sides. It will be occupied by the Grand Pants Company.

The Schoenberg Realty Compay made the deal between Mr. Gretzer and the owner, Louis Oppenstein. The lot has a frontage of thirty-eight and one-half feet on Twelfth and eighty feet on Walnut street.
