Marks .V Son, wholesale mer chants. The exact location ss ill be on the site of the wooden struc tures now occupied by the Woo ten Moulton Studio, Haven's shoe repair shop and S. Blumgardt's store. O. Maiks tV Son hase been contemplating the erection of this building for some time but not until yesterdav was the con tract for its erection awarded to the firm o Rhodes Under wood, contractors of this city.' The structure will be three stor ies in height, will be forty-seven feet wide and one hundred and seventy feet long. Pressed brick ind stone will be used almost ex clusnely in its construction, and the svork ot construction svill be started during the course of the next three weeks, or as soon as the buildings now on the site can be vacated and razed. In 1865 O. Marks opened up a retail establishment in New Bern. From the very first the store was well patronized and business in creased each year until, in 1887, Mr. Marks decided to go into the wholesale business, and in 1891" he took into co-partnership with him his sons M. M. and H. B. Marks and the firm's name was changed to (). Marks & Son. During all this time their es tablishment was located on the Southwest corner of Middle and Pollock streets and the buildim. has become somewhat of a land mark. While rarrving an exten sive line of all kinds of drs' goods and merchandise, the firm spec ializes on shoes and are one of the largest wholesale shoe houses between Richmond. Va., and Atlanta, C,a., having seven or eight salesmen on the road with their goods. Business has been continually increasing and the firm, some time ago, saw the necessity of having larger quarters, and then it was definitely deicded to erect this new building. As soon as this has been completed the firm will occupy the new building, carrying a more extensive stock and also employing a larger force of travelling representatives, and in fact it is their intention to become one of the largest whole sale houses, in the South.
