Fresh Paint Big Aid
To Uptown Business
Application of fresh paint to business
fronts in the uptown section is addins
materially to Improved appearances in
Brevard.
Galloway's cafe went In for some
thing fancy and used silver and olive
gray very effectively, while the Main
street and Broad street A &• P stores
each used a bright red.
Ordinarily black paint is a rather
doleful thing to use on a building but
three grocers on East Main street seem
to have used it to good advantage.
Waters’ Market used black and red
to decorate their front; the Buy-Rite
used black, white and red; and the
Turn>r Williams grocery used cream
and black. Whether one likes the color
of black or no—the new paint Is better
than the old.
