OF interest to the shopping pub
lie is the announcement that the
stocks carried by the North Fourth
street stores are to be increased
and made more varied so wider
selection of high quality merchan-
disc and services may be had.
One of the outstanding facts is the
public can generally buy on the
street for lower prices because
rents paid by the merchants are
lower and consequently the mer-
chant can sell his merchandise at
a lower price.
1--WE North Fourth street mer-
chants are proudest of the fact
that customers may drive over to
our district without the annoyance
of parking problems or heavy traf-
fic," the committee said.
I'VE have unlimited parking IA
cilities with no time limits. Even
though they may not be buying
from us at present we want every
one in the Wilmington shopping
area to visit North Fourth street
and see just what we have to offer.
This weekend we are going to
make a concerted effort to show
ourselves off to best advantage to

merchandise at most reasonable

Feeling that the former street
greatly hindered traffic and there

people who would like to trade in
the district, the North Fourth
street merchants are now looking
forward to a large increase in their
respective businesses as well as
seeing hundreds of Jew faces pat

In reality this district is unique
to the extent of having in it the
making of an entire community,
with practically every business to
be found any where. Here you
will find bakeries, pharmacies, de-
partment stores, fish markets, shoe
shops, furniture stores, grocery
stores, cafes, service stations, bar
