The Pennsylvania Edison Company which supplies electricity to Naza¬ reth and vicinity, and the Interurban Gas Company, which supplies gas in Nazareth, have made extensive im¬ provements In their property on South Main streei. When the im¬ provements are completed the build¬ ing will present a tine appearance and certainly make a much better impression on strangers entering oiirp2;^''"_^_ej'''eet borough via tiiat route.
In addition  to improving the out¬ ward appearance of the building, the
