ARCADE BUILDING TO BE BUILT HERE SOON
Madison Journal September 5, 1930

A building that promises to be one of Tallulah's best will be erected before January 1. Bids were 
received on the building Thursday afternoon.

The new structure will be known as the Arcade Store and will contain the many features of an arcade 
building. It will extend across the end of the block opposite the Missouri Pacific Depot and will 
extend back about 140 feet.

It will contain about twenty arcades, a filling station on the corner on the highway, and a place 
for a Post Office.

Plans are not complete this week and Mertie M. Bloom declined to discuss exact details. He also 
refused to say how much the one-story structure would cost. Bloom and Saewitz interests in the 
building is said to be around $74,000.

Cleaning up of the site has been in progress for several weeks. N. W. Overstreet, designers of the 
Lamar Life Insurance Building at Jackson, drew up plans for the Arcade store.
