GOldstein Stores To
 Occupy McGrath Corner

Charles Goldstein has leased the Nc Grath property at the corner of Sec ond and Seward streets, diagonally across the street from the Goldstein stores and as soon as he can erect temporary structures to house the bus mess the present store buildings will be torn down to make room for the new Goldstein building. It is expect ed to have the stock removed to it's temporary quarters by May 1. The success of MT. Goldstein in securing the desirable McGrath property, situat' ed so near his present location. has made possible the immediate construc- ton of the proposed magnificent, fire proof building on the site of his pres ent store building.
 The new Goldstein building that is to be occupied by the Charles Gold stein stores on the site of the pres ent business at Seward and Second streets. will begin to take form as soon as the weather will permit coustruc- tion. The work of tearing down the present buildings will commence about May lst or immediately after the stock is removed to temporary quarters, and it is expected that the building will be complete and the business re-establshed in its old To- cation before October.
 As a step preparatory to the erection of the new home for the Goldstein stores. the Goldstein Improvement Co. was incorporated a few days ago. which corporation will deal directly with the problem in hand.
 Some time ago A. w. Quist, well known architect and constructor com- pleted plans for a modern concrete structure, four stories and basement to occupy the ground space one hun dred feet square and these plans with some slight alterations will be fol- lowed.
 Today Mir Goldstein announces that he has taken lease on the McGrath property diagonally opposite the Gold stein stores and here he will erect temporary quarters for the Goldstein stores pending the erection of the new building. The McGrath property has a frontage of 100 feet on Seward street, 100 feet on Second street and includes an ell. 5Ox55. extending bcak from the second street frontage. A portion of the lot is now covered by one-story structure which is occupied by several small business concerns. These will have to move out. MT. Goldstein will erect a temporary one-story structure over the balance of the property and believes that with the space so ac- quired, business can be carried on until the new home is finished.
 The new Goldstein building will, when erected. be one of the finest in Alaska. Occupying space 100 100, with full basement and five floors above including the mezzanine floor, it will have floor areas such as no other building in Alaska can now boast. It will be modern in every respect with ample elevator service and everything that will add to comfort and security or in any way facilitate business. It is beginning to be an accepted fact that considering insurance rates and the comparative cost of building that concrete is placed in . most favorable light. This at least is the attitude of the Goldstein Improvement company, hence the determination to erect in concrete.
