New Paint Store Is
Modern As Its Name
The Modern Paint Store is all
that the name implies and is a
pleasant surprise.
The shop opened a week ago
and it located on River Street,
facing the N.C. Cat Shop. In addi
tion to a tiled and carpeted floor
the shop has walls of polished
wood, modern wallpaper, interest
ing furniture and a well-displayed
variety of paints and supplies.
James West, the owner, has
done a remarkable job of reno
vating, demonstrating very clear
ly what can be done in a small
area with the imaginative use of
of readily available materials.
