name, for the present at least. q re.
organization has been effected in the
Donovan-McC ormick company and q
practically new firm has succeeded the
old.
The change was made at last Sat
urday's meeting of the directors and
stockholders. The new board con-
sists of 7. G. Power, Paul Mccormick,
A. G. Johnson and C. w. Sparr. The
officers elected are T. G. Power, pres
ident; Paul Mccormick, vice presi-
dent; W. F. Sylvester, secretary; c.
w. Spar, treasurer and. manager.
The reports Of the secretary and
treasurer showed a gratifying increase
in the business done during the past
year by the various departments of the
company's store and arrangements
were made to still further expand and
care for an ever growing trade. It
was decided to make a number of i'm
provements in the company's build
ing and enlarge it's facilities for a
proper conduct of the trade that is
coming to it from all over eastern
Montana and much of northern Wyo-
ming. One Of the improvements out
lined and which will be highly APP
preciated by the customers Of the
firm, especially the ladies, is the in
PRODUCTION of an elevator. The base
ment will be extended and the ele-
vator will run from it to the top floors,
thus enabling customers to go through
the various floors without the at
tendant fatigue of stair climbing.
The building proper will also be re-
modelled and several new features in
troduced. Arrangements have been
perfected for the establishment of
dressmaking and millinery parlors on
the second floor, to be in charge of
up-to-date persons, where the ladies
may feel assured they can obtain the
very latest and most fashionable in
those lines.
More attention will also be paid to
the jobbing trade. The department de-
voted to that branch of the company's
business will be enlarged and a con-
tract has been entered into with an
eastern gentleman Of extended exper-
fence to take supervision Of it.
When these various alterations and
shall have been COM
pleted the company will own the best
most modern department store
in the eastern part of the state and
will be prepared to enter into active
with like establishments
whether in Montana or the east. The
old relics have all been disposed of
the goods now carried in the vari-
.us departments are all fresh and
and it will be the future object
and aim to keep only the choisest and
newest of everything-goods that
