In his rambles about town this week
the attention Of our reporter was called
to the clothing store of Anderson & De:
Clute. There are few cities in Kansas
that can boast of finer establishment.
Their room 2OxS0, is on the corner,
giving them nice side show-window.
For evening they have eight fine Ii
brary lamps, three on side and two
in front, which shows their stock to
good advantage at that time. Their
counters or tables are of a new design
for this state. They are made of black
walnut, with French plate glass tops
underneath being drawers filled with
goods which makes a rich display.
The change one year has made in this
block was forcibly brought to mind.
Less than one year ago where now
stands this block, there stood dilapi-
dated frame buildings. The owners of
the building, Messrs Scott, and
Anderson & DeClute deserve credit
for the enterprise they have shown
which has given us fine hall. They
gave their second story, and also took
a large share of the stock. The hall is
42x8O and 16 feet in the clear. The
entrance is wide and safe, the doors
being double and double butts on
same. AS soon as it can be finished
we shall have one of the finest halls in
Southern Kansas.
