The announcement given The Courier yesterday that Messrs. B.H. Wilkins and Chas. Moss had purchased the lot adjoining Long’s Drug Store and would erect thereon a handsome three-story business house means that Forest City’s building program for 1925 is underway.
The lot is one of the best located and most desirable in the city and has a frontage of 25 feet, extending ack 70 feet. A handsome brick structure will be erected, work to begin at an early date. Complete building plans have not as yet been made, but the owners propose to erect a handsome structure of three stories, including basement, which will be filled up elegantly for a barber shop. The nature of the next two floors will depend upon leases yet to be executed.
Another new building for Forest City is to be a handsome new filling station, which will be erected by Mr. W.A. Haynes on his lot adjoining the storehouse of Harrill Bros., on West Main street. Work will begin at an early date. Mr. Haynes will spare no expense in making this building one of the most beautiful and convenient in the county. A handsome driveway will lead to the building, which will be elegantly fitted throughout, including lovely rest rooms for the ladies. The business will be under the management of Mr. Tom Harrill, which means that it will be conducted in a most efficient manner.
The Courier is glad to see Mr. Haynes investing in Forest City property, and feels confident that his latest venture will prove a success.
