1926: Local businesses find new homes

May 6,1926

RANDOLPH - The new McLean Block with its 75 foot front has been the occasion for the moving of these business places to other quarters.

The Electric and Plumbing shop is now located in the old McLean store, Scott & Bloomer’s barber shop is now occupying the room vacated by J. K. Bruner before he moved to his new cafe, and W. H.

Stageman’s office is now located in the place used some years ago by the Gordon millinery shop.

For over 20 years “Stageman’s office” has been a meeting place where affairs of local and national import were cussed and discussed, where committees held forth and where politics were gone over and plans laid to defeat the enemy.

These activities are now changed to a new location and the latch string is out to any one that wishes to drop in and express his views, buy a farm or make a deal.

The work of wrecking the buildings is going forward at a good clip. The old lumber is being cleaned and piled ready for any use that can be made of it in the new building.
