ANGELOS DRIVAS TAKES LEASE OF PIONEER BLOCK

Also Secures Two Year Option for Purchase –

Receives Calls From Would Be Buyers.

 

            Angelos Drivas, proprietor of the building occupied by Waupaca Candy Kitchen, has secured a two years’ option for the purchase of the Beadleston property at the corner of Main and West Fulton street, now occupied by Ing. G. Larson, Jeweler, and Pioneer Hardware Store.

            Mr. Drivas also took a 15 year lease of these stores and from and after February 17, the present tenants will pay the rent to Mr. Drivas.

DEMAND FOR LOCATION

            Without question this is one of the best corner locations in Waupaca, and Mr. Drivas already has had several calls by those to take over the option and lease at a figure to give him a profit.  Mr. Drivas will be in no haste to dispose of his lease or his option as there is known to be an increasing demand for favorite locations on Main Street of this city.

            Concerns that operate chain drug stores, chain meat markets and other lines of business are looking to Waupaca, with its increasing tourist and summer resort business, for a favorable location in which to forge another link to their lengthening chain.

MRS. ANDERSON TO MOVE.

            Mrs. Margaret Anderson, whose lease on the store she now occupies in the Lord Block, will expire May 1, has already signed a five-year lease on the Ware building at 215 N. Main.          

            Several other tenants on Main Street, are said to be consulting their leases to see when they will arrange for other quarters, rather than submit to increases in rent which they believe is already high enough.
