Razing Bell Property Marks End of Old Main Street Relic
The seventy year old Bell property once used by R F Beil on Main Street is being razed for improvements. The building, though aged, remained fair and its removal reflects shifts in commerce as Beil relocates to a modern site. A Temple family founder later prospered in cotton speculation after moving to St Louis. Democratic caucus slated at Court House in the 5th ward May 12 for alderman nominating in advance of the May 29, 1905 election.
