Vaughan & eurnett's RemodelIed Store

If one should undertake to find a lew
elry store that would excel in general at
tractveness that of Vaughan & Burnett
now that the changes and improvements
therein have been completed, he would
have to travel long way. A quartered
oak wall case has been put on the north
side, to match the case or the south side
and in front of it are three long and deem
show cases resting on quartered oak
tai les with carved legs. Dividing the
store from the work room is an oak screen
with Florentne glass panels, while Mt the
street entrance, directly in front of the
door, is a glass case extending from the
floor to the top of the show cases The
display in this case will be changed from
time TO time, as in the show window.
An invisible electric bulb fills the case
with a brilliant light. The floor is COW
cred with linoleum of a pretty design The
cases are literally fun of articles of diff
ferent varieties of ware, although not a
dollar was spent for new goods on ac-
count of the improvements. The stool.
is part of the regular lines carried by
Vaughan & Burnett, and even now they
have not room enough to display all of
their goods. In making these improve
ments this reliable firm was actuated
by the idea that ii was the best policy
to encourage home buying by displaying
4 class of goods which heretofore have not
been shown in town to any great extent
Improvements in the optical department
are also In contemplation. A room adj
joining the fitting room will be converted
into an optical shop, and the machinery
will be run by an electric moter.
