PROPOSED NEW OFFICE BUILDING

A Handsome Structure in Contemplation by Mr. S. J. Stein

Mr. S. J. Stein is having plans and specifications made for the erection of a magnificent three-story office building on his lots on the southeast corner of Howard and Washington streets.

Mr. Stein will erect a building on these valuable lots with steam on all modern conveniences. The front is to have stone columns and massive plate glass for the first story with stone trimmings above and red pressed brick.

This new structure will add greatly to the appearance of Howard Street.

BUSINESS BUILDING OF CONCRETE BLOCKS

Stein Building Will Be a New Innovation in Greenwood

Mr. Samuel J. Stein announces that the new building soon to be erected at the corner of Howard and Washington Streets will be constructed with concrete blocks.

This will be a new innovation in Greenwood and may mark the beginning of an entirely new style of architecture.

Concrete blocks can be made in almost any conceivable shape and the material is said to be much cheaper than brick or stone. It is as hard as adamant and takes a finish that is almost as smooth as marble.

The plans for the new Stein building are being drawn by Architect J. D. Griffith. The contract will be let as soon as the plans are adopted.

A KANDY KITCHEN

WILL BE OPENED

Something Serenely Sweet Soon

To be Opened

A modern Kandy Kitchen is soon to be installed in the Stein building on the corner of West Washington and Howard streets.

This is something Greenwood has long been in need of, and we predict for it a successful career. This new business concern will embrace a soda fountain and an up-to-date line of confectionaries, and will spare no pains in making this one of the handsomest places of business in the state.

An enterprise of this class pays well in other cities and we see no reason why it should not prove a success in our city, as we will not admit that there is a town in the state better able to support an enterprise of any kind than our progressive city.

New Soda Fountain and Confectionary Opened

Frank Grego, who formerly conducted a Kandy Kitchen business at Greenville, has rented Mr. Sam’l J. Stein’s handsome new store at the corner of Howard and Washington streets, and is opening a soda fountain and fancy confectionary in same. He will dispense all kinds of temperance drinks, ice cream, fine candies, etc., and is having the place fitted up nicely for his business here.
