More Lake Expansion Projects Planned
Work Started On Super Market, 6 Shops
Project Is
Underway At
South Main
Construction began this week on
a "modern .shopping center" at the
corner of Main and Academy
streets?across from the First Bap
list church, and adjoining the new
Telephone Building, now under
construction.
Sol Schulman, president of the
S.L.S. Real Estate Company, told
The Mountaineer this morning that
the contract calls for completion of
the project by December first. In
cluded is a 3.000-squarc foot super
market for the A & P Tea Com
pany. in addition to 5 to 7 shops,
suitable for dress shops and cloth
ing stores, Mr. Schulman said.
"The reason we are indefinite as
to the exact number of shops right!
now is that we might combine'
some of the shops and make one in j
order to meet requirements of a
lessee," Mr. Schulman pointed out '
The A & P Tea super market
will be 50 feet wide, and 100 feet :
deep. The other shops will be 80
feet deep, in order to allow for a !
20-foot alley from Academy Street
to the A & P building. The super
market win be built on the line
next to the Oak Park Motor Court.
Mr. Schulman said that a 40-1
foot paved parking space would be
in front of all the buildings.
The buildings will be of semi
colonial design, Mr. Schulman
said, and df brick and tile construc
? tion. Automatic heat wtH be tTT?
' eluded In each building,
i "The entire porjeet veil) be beau
tiful. and we are making it a 'show
place' for the community. We arc
sparing no expense in making the
area an asset to the community,"
i Mr. Schulman continued.
The contract for construction has
been awarded to the W. 11. Diilard
Construction Company of Sylva.
Several officials of the A & P
Tea Company have been here dur
ing the past few days, including
Mr. Smith, the president, who
pointed out that "the Waynesville
store will not be the largest super
market in our group, but there
will not be any more beautiful, or
more modern."
No estimate was made as to the
total cost of the project, pending
the final decision on the finish of
one or two of the shops. "Most of
; the shops have already been leas
i ed," the owner said.
Mr. Schulman owns and operates
, the Schulman Department Store
I in Sylva, and is an extensive prop
erty holder in a number of towns
in Western North Carolina.

Hike In Price Of'
Milk Expected In
This Area Shortly
There is a strong possibility that
a ope cent a quart price increase
for milk will become effective
shortly in the Waynesvill? area,
it was learned today.
Current retail prices are 24
cents for regular and 25 cents for
premium grades.
Officials of one milk concern in
Waynesville said today that, should
milk producers increase the price
Of their milk, "it would be virtually
certain that we would be forced
to raise our price one cent a quart." }
Virtually all of any increase
i would be paid to producers who
