the center will contain about
go stores and shops.
Unlike numerous shopping
areas spawned by the first
post-war rush 10 the suburbs.
the Prince Georges Plaza was
a well planned child which has
virtually skipped infancy and
adolescence. VI W
Plans for 1t FIRST were con-
ceived several years ago by
Eastern shopping Centers, Inc,
q New York firm In which the
Grand Union Co. owns con-
siderable interest. 'g
The blueprints were per-
fected according to knowledge
and philosophy developed
through study shopping CEN
tiers throughout the country
According to Ernest Wersho-
ven. q representative Of Eastern
Shopping Centers. a really we'll
conceived suburban shopping
complex tries to duplicate the
advantages Of q downtown
business district while avoiding
its disadvantages.
Store Variety Sought
Mr.. Weshoven said that In
designing the plaza. planners
thus first attempted to arrange
lie so that it would attIar: an
extreme variety Of stores They
then emphasized accessibility
and measures which would
forestail congestion and tratfic
hazards.
To insure proximity to Gus
toners, the corporation chose
IA site that for decades be-
longed to the late Christian
Heurich, one Of the noted fig. /
ures of washington business
history.
Mr.. Heurich emigrated from
Germany during the Civil War
and established the brewery in
Foggy Bottom. Subsequently he
assembled a 3T6-acra tract
which he used as a summer es-
tate and as pasture for his
prize dairy herds.
In 1851, six years after MFR.
Heurich died at the age of l02,
the estate was sold for more
than a million dollars. It since
has been zoned for commercial
and development in accordance
with stringent regulations.
Mr.. Weshoven estimates that
within a few wears 100000 po-
tential customers will reside
within the area from which
the plaza expects to draw.
To accommodate them. the
center contains 6SO.OOO square
feet Of enclosed. disable space.
About 5000 square ieet are !
classified as sales or store space. |
Means for Expansion
Provisions also have been /
made for expansion.
The Hecht Co. store, which
with 10000 square feet Of
space Is the largest in the
plaza, is constructed to permit |
addition Of another story. The |
multicolored metal face at the |
rear Of the building can be re-
moved to allow enlargement of |
the ground floor. BY erecting
decks above the parking lots,
space for thousands of addi-
tionsl cars can be created u
necessary. This is Hecht's third
suburban store.

A visit to Seattle any time is a
guarantee of a restful vacation in
a metropolis which nestles be-
tween two great ranges, the Cas-
cade and Olympic Mountains, and
is all but surrounded by water
to make it a veritable Atlantus of
modern times.
But the red letter dates" for
visitors occur during the first
week of August when the city
stages it's annual Today Seafair
celebration
This summers festival prob
ably the biggest outdoor show in
America today - opens on July 81
and continues through August 9.
The Seafair is a gigantic COM
bination of events on land and
water. The salt water from FL
lott Bay and Puget Sound and
the fresh water from Lake Wash
ington, the Duwamish River, Lake
Union and a ship canal, which
encircles the city, provide the
maritime heritage for the nautical
theme Of the annual festival.
Seafair events range from such
top" attractions as a nightly
stage and water show, The Aqua
Follie s., in the city's lakeside
theatre, to the spectacle of 100000
persons watching the classic Gold
