NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Sere he AMANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1910. 
Our Frontispiece. 
We print on our front cover this 
week a sketch of the attractive new 
block of stores built at Magnolia this 
winter by Jonathan May for Charles 
W. Smith of Germantown, Pa., a 
summer resident of Magnolia. The 
sketch was very kindly sent to us by 
Mr. Smith. 
The block, which we may presume 
will be called ‘‘Smith Block,’’ is lo- 
eated on Lexington ave., and is 
on the opposite side of the street 
from the old Magnolia Hotel, and is 
next to the Donchian building. It 
is nearly opposite the Colonnade. 
Attractive in design and built with 
the slap dash finish in front, the 
stores present a very fine appear- 
ance, and when the display windows 
are filled with wares of the five oc- 
cupants this section of Magnolia will 
present quite a shoppy appearance. 
The building is 90 feet on the 
front and runs back about 40 feet. 
It is built in a sort in of half hollow 
square,— that is, the stores on either 
end project out beyond the three in 
the center. <A five-foot brick side- 
walk will extend along by the build- 
ing and a narrow grass plat will 
separate this from the street. 
Mr. May has already rented four 
of the. five stores and the fifth will 
be taken shortly. Miss Swift of New 
York, who has been at the North 
Shore grill and at the Colonnade for 
several years will have one of the 
stores. She carries an exclusive line 
of foreign and domestic lamp shades, 
art decorations, ete. 
Madame Clement who had a store 
at Magnolia last summer for the first 
time, in the Donehian building, will 
have another of the stores. She deals 
in embroideries. 
Miss Rice, a Fifth Avenue (N.Y.) 
milliner will also have one of the 
stores. 
Max Littwitz, a well known New 
York dealer in embroideries and 
faney linens, will also have a store 
here, the first time he has had a 
store on the North Shore, though 
he has come here on various times 
throughout past seasons to exhibit 
his goods at hotels. 
A brother of the owner was the 
architect for the building. 
Any old magazines lying around 
out of use? Lend them to a neigh- 
bor who has none.
