The Board of Et Cetera Shop, Inc., invites the public to an open house at the Peerless Glove Factory, 327 N. Main St., Bluffton, on Friday, April 20, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. 

"Come and get a look at the old glove factory before it becomes the new location of the local Et Cetera Shop," said Arman Habegger, Et Cetera board chair.

"Renovation will not yet have begun, but we will have some illustrations of how the new store may appear.  Some of you may have photos from the building’s earlier operation as a glove factory, and we would welcome seeing those."
