ENLARGING HIS BUSINESS.

Mr.. ID. j. Kaufman, the ClOthfer,
Leases Adjoining Building on Avenue.
Mr. D. j. Kaufman, clothier, who inaugu-
rated his enterprise little more than two
years ago at 1907 PENNSYLVANIA avenue, has
met with such phenomenal and consistent
success that he has leased the building adj
joining his establishment and known as
1905 Pennsylvania avenue. The store was
formerly occupied by B. F. Guy & Co, and
its annexation was found necessary by Mr..
Kaufman to accommodate his increasing
trade and the continually growing eiabo-
rateness Of stock carried. Plans are now
being drawn for the extensive improve
ments to be made in the newly acquired
building and for merging 1t with the one
already occupied, SO that the lower floor
will be thrown into one great room. While
the Improvement Of the interior will be
given the greatest amount Of attention, the
exterior will also be made over. Mr.. Kauf-
man Is one of those progressive merchants
who has unbounded faith in the avenue as
the pre-eminent thoroughfare Of the city,
and is striving to make his store conform
to his ideas of what the street should be.
with the acquisition of the store formerly
occupied by Guy, Mr. kaufman's establish
ment Will have frontage of fifty feet and
a depth of more than a hundred feet The
improvements contemplated will be carried
When concluded, and the two stores
merged, they will constitute. 1t is intended,
the best equipped and furnished exclusively
mems store in the District of Columbia.
There is to be no change in the policy Of
Mr.. kaufman's business. His store will re-
main strictly one for the men. The stock

ana masculine adults. There will be no d.

attention being paid to providing properly
There m n fop
In the success achieved by Mr. Kaufman

In which he has dealt with customers rep
