When the improvements which have
been started are completed, Mr.. N. r.
Croft will have about as fine place
for his hardware business as one might
wish. An addition 50x22 feet is being
erected on the rear of his store build
ing, and when completed he will have
a store 1l4x22 in size, practically two
stories in height, as the basement, full
length, will be fitted up for his use.
The arch midway between the front
and rear of the present room will be
removed, so that it will give him an
unobstructed room. A large sky light
will furnish plenty of light. In the
past the store room has been too
limited for the proper display of his
large stock, and he will appreciate this
enlargement. Mr.. Croft is certainly
entitled to praise in the growth of his
business in Decorah. From a small
store and stock few years ago he has
built up business that ranks at the
front in the city, and has stock that
is seldom equalled in city of this size.
And he credits his success to close
personal attention to all the details of
the business and judicious use Of
printers ink.
