IS READY FOR USE
WILL McMULLEN OPENS A FINE
GROCERY ESTABLISHMENTS.


Is With the opening Of the new McMul-
len block on Fourth street and Central
avenue, the aspect of the most impor-
tant business street of East Mime
apolis has been considerably increased.
The block occupies a splendid site and
fills vacancy on the street which was
caused after the tearing down of an
unsightly, old frame structure. The
building was erected for James Nc
Mullen at the cost Of $4,000, and is
now in the hands Of VIII McMullen,
who has just opened a thoroly equipped
grocery store.
James McMullen, who has made this
splendid Improvement to East Mime
apolis real estate, has lived here since
1S49, and is one of the oldest pioneer
residents Of ST.. Anthony. He has al
ways been interested in the growth and
Improvement of Southeast Minneapo
cidedly expressed by the continued
improvement Of his property, which he
owns in the second ward. There are
two facts which make the McMullen
block extremely valuable. One is that
the building is completely freproof,
and the other is that it is the only East
Minneapolis building with modern
sanitary arrangements of every kind.
