to B. A. Gliding, who will conduct
the busines in the future. He has
already assumed charge. Altera-
tions and improvements are being
made in the store room, the arch
way which connected the shoe de-
partment with the clothing store is
being closed up. Mr.. Gliding has
ordered and will have in stock in a
few weeks, a large and fine line OF
spring clothing. Ben is a hustler
and will, no doubt, be successful.
