Keeping Pace with the Expansion of Coral Gables ... Renuart's New Building! ... Daily Riviera - Times!

WHEN the story of 1947 is written, it will record many advancements by pioneers of Coral Gables . . . establishments that have shown their confidence in the future of this fine city and have, through the years, materially contributed to its sensational, yet sound, growth. Last March RE-NU-ART, Inc., for almost a quarter of a century a leader in the development of fine building materials, new production techniques and the application of new ideas, opened this huge, new quarter million dollar lumber yard and millwork plant at 4400 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Covering an area of 31⁄2 acres with its own 15-car railroad siding, the new plant is devoted to complete unified control of lumber and building products. It is staffed by an experienced organization manning the newest type of machinery and equipment. The most modern lumber yard in the entire state, it is one of Coral Gables' largest enterprises Now another milestone in Coral Gables' march of progress has been reached. The Riviera-Times has made an outstanding contribution to the development of this city, having been its only newspaper since the founding of the community in 1926. Long recognized as Florida's leading weekly newspaper, we predict like success for it in the daily field. We "old-timers" such as the Riviera-Times and RE-NU-ART have seen our faith in Coral Gables justified. We are proud of the part we have played in its growth. We will continue to devote our efforts to the furthering of its best interests.
