Nice, Steamheated; BricU Building Next To Bank Of French Broad Leased For Three Year The publisher of the News-Record is glad to be able to announce to its many patrons that arrangements have beeri;made to.enable it to be issued from the best newspaper location in Marshall in the very near future. The two story brick building between the Bank of French Broad and Mr. Lisenbee's shop has been leased for a period of three years and the Record's heavy machinery will be moved with in the next few days, i For quite awhile the publisher has realized that its present location and building were not in keeping with the oth er beautiful buildings in and around Marshall. When the present owner of this paper moved to Marshall in the fall of 3,924, Marshall was quite a different place from what it is today. The improvements since that time can hardly be realized by those who have been here all the time. At that time Western North Caro lina was on a boom and all real estate was sell ing at such high prices and rents were so high that we were unable to get1 a building -just like we needed.

With the prospect of their continued support we are en- . couraged to make even a'greater effort to serve the County than ever before. In. our. new location we shall be at the most conveni ent location in Marshall, where our patrons . may more easily visit the office and plant and place their orders for work in our line, at the same, time, leaving items of news and other matters for publication. f -; . ; VAs soon as it can be arranged, The Newsy .
