Winfield Courier, June 21, 1883.

The Fuller and Torrance business block now going up on Main Street is to be one hundred and twenty-five feet deep and two stories high. The plans were executed by Irv. Randall and are beauties in form and finish.

Winfield Courier, November 1, 1883.

J. S. Mann is doing a land office business in clearing out his Clothing and Men’s Furnishing Goods preparatory to moving into the new Torrance & Fuller building. Now is the time to buy your winter clothing at low prices.

Winfield Courier, November 22, 1883.

The plastering on the Fuller-Torrance block is being done by John Craine. It is a big job and in his hands will be done well.

Winfield Courier, November 22, 1883.

Dr. W. T. Wright has rented the two front rooms in the Torrance-Fuller brick, upstairs, and will fit up a handsome office therein. The Doctor’s present quarters are much too small for his immense practice.

Winfield Courier, January 24, 1884.

Dr. Wright has moved into his new office in the Fuller-Torrance block, and has furnished them in splendid shape. The rooms are very large, with high ceilings, thoroughly ventilated, and conveniently located. They are provided with water from the waterworks, sinks for carrying off the drainage, and many other useful and necessary arrangements. They are by far the handsomest offices in the city.

City Council Chamber now in Fuller-Torrance block...

Winfield Courier, February 21, 1884.

Winfield Courier, February 28, 1884.

For the accommodation of the businessmen, supper will be ready at half past five and dinner at half past eleven on Saturday in the Torrance and Fuller building.

Winfield Courier, February 28, 1884.

All lodges can be served with supper at the Torrance & Fuller building Friday night.

Winfield Courier, March 6, 1884.

The ladies of the Christian Church were very successful with their festival in the Torrance-Fuller building last Friday and Saturday. The room was continually thronged and an immense number were furnished meals and oysters. Their tables were spread with all the good things of the season and the supply seemed inexhaustible. The ladies always come forward heroically to help along every good cause. The proceeds go for the furnishing of the new Christian Church building.

Winfield Courier, March 6, 1884.

New England dinner by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church in the Torrance & Fuller building next Saturday.

Winfield Courier, March 13, 1884.

The ladies of the Presbyterian Church made a grand success of their supper and dinner in the Torrance and Fuller building last Friday and Saturday, as they do of all entertainments they undertake. The quality, variety, and amount of the table supplies has never been excelled. The proceeds, $140, go for the recarpeting of the church.

Winfield Courier, March 13, 1884.

The festival week before last in the Torrance and Fuller building, by the ladies of the Christian Church, netted $154.92. The new church building will soon be ready for occupancy. They extend thanks to all who so nobly assisted them in their festival.

Winfield Courier, March 20, 1884.
