FOUR STOREY BUSINESS BLOCK MAY BE ERECTED IN WELLAND

[Welland Telegraph, 26 January 1912]

Everyone is looking forward to a greater Welland this year, and the idea seems to permeate the very atmosphere.

It is learned that a Guelph man is completing arrangements to erect a four storey business block here this summer. The site, it is said, has been optioned and all that is being awaited is the arrival of spring, which will bring with it, it is hoped, some idea of what will happen the coming summer.

A local man who was told of the proposition while in Guelph recently, stated on Tuesday morning that the block will be used as a department store to be run on a modern business basis.

ANOTHER NEW BLOCK

It is likely that W.E. Buckingham of Guelph will erect a three-storey business block on East Main Street next spring to replace the small frame building located next to the Temple building.
