PHONE YOUR NEWS TO 4101 Pay Only 5c Expect Completion Os Locker Plant By Oct. 15 The grand opening of the Black Mountain Super Market (formerly Shaw’s store) has been set for Friday and Saturday, H. B. Sa biston, co-owner and manager an nounced today. Doors will open at 8:30 A. M. The super market is located on the street floor of the Black Mountain Freezer Lock er plant on Montreat road, south of the Shaw’s store building. Opening of the freezer locker plant will take place about the middle of October. Called one of the most modem super markets in Western North Carolina, the new store is 53 feet wide and 94 feet long. The Acorn Shop occupies a small portion of the northwest corner of the build ing, with the manager’s office directly in back. Storage space is provided in the rear on the main floor.

He hopes to bring his wife and two sons to Black Mountain within the near future. Steady growth of the business at the old location prompted Mr. Sabiston, who came to Black Mountain in March, 1947, and pur chased a half interest in Shaw's; store from his sister, Mrs. Almar- Shaw, to seek a site with more floor space. Although a native of North Carolina and educated fnt the Asheville school system, Mr. Sabiston was engaged in the con struction contracting business in Miami for several years. During World War II he became as sociated with the U. S. Division Engineers in Atlanta which po sition he resigned to come to Black Mountain. The original Shaw’s store was built by a Mr. Fulture, who is now in California. The late John M. Shaw of Wilmington came to Black Mountain and purchased the business from M. R. Sabiston in 1921. The Shaws operated the business until Mr. Shaw’s death in 1945. Mrs. Shaw then took over active management until March, 1947, when a half interest was sold to her brother, H. B. Sabis ton. Maxine Westall will act as super market cashier and Calvin Melton will have charge of the stock and warehouse. O.E.S.
