10 Cent Store.
 The : and 10 cent store has removed from 3S and 10 Bank street to fl and l5 East Main street, Platt block build ing. The new store will open Friday afternoon at o'clock for inspection only. No goods will be sold. the idea of the mana agement being 10 give people an opportunity 10 inspect the stock and become acquainted with the loca- ton of the new quarters. The place will be decorated with a variety of potted plants and flowers and an orchestra will fill the building with sweet melody so that it will be quite an attractive spot to spend q half hour and the chances are that everybody who can spare the time will drop in to see the sights. The doors will be closed at o'clock in the evening. This firm has had phenomenal success in Waterbury. In 1898 the management bought out A. l.. McMullen and at once became one of the most popular business houses in the city. The policy observed in the Bank street store nothing offered for sale costing over ten cents. will obtain in the new quart CTS. and E. c. Gift will continue as manager This is one of 61 stores situated in different parts of the coun- try. of which Mr Woolworth is sole proprietor. 1t will be seen that the amount of stock purchased for all these stores must be enormous and where supplies are bought for cash the whole sale price is invariably at bottom figure and naturally the goods can he sold at a lower figure than they could be under other conditions. The new store has q floor space of 5000 square feet and occupies all the space formerly occupied by J. F. Phelan, the tea mer- chant, Hamilton's Cash Grocery and Smiths tonsorial lhoms, and the com pany expects to add to its space in a short time.
