Dexter-Davison Acquires Two Lots
The availablity of two new
parking lots was announced
this week by Norman and Reu-
ben Cottler, proprietors of the
Dexter-Davison Markets. •
Both lots are in the Wyoming-
Curtis shopping center where
parking for Dexter y Davison
shoppers always has been at a
premium, Norman Cottler ex-
plained.
One lot is directly across from
the market, and was formerly
the property of Tommy Long's
Cafe. The other is •located in
the rear of the market, extend-
ing inward from Curtis Ave.
The new parking facilities
should prove adequate for all
our customers, Cottler added.
Negotiations for the purchase
of the Tommy Long lot have
been conducted for several
months now, he said. Ale rear
lot was held up pending ap-
proval from the zoning office.
Both parking lots, he con-
eluded, will be ready for irn-
mediate use.
