The HERALD observer had occasio1
to drop into the store of the NJ. L.
McRae Co. the first time yesterday
since same passed into the hands of
this enterprising Co. The complete
transformation that bad took place
pleasantly startled the writer. The
shelving and countering had been re-
arranged VIC could not tell exactly
how, only in harmonious adjustment
to the eye, while the neat and skill
full way in which their contents was
equally, yea more pleasing. The wall
had been given q coating of paint of
a color which acted in such q beauti-
ful consonance with the general affect
that our mind failed to take note of
it's particular hue. Things were do
ing there. Customers were keeping
the clerks busy. The hum of CONVEX
sation and sight of commodities be-
ing wrapped into parcels evidenced
this. Time was taken from their work
to exchange CHEEKY and welcoming
greetings to us. The general appear
ance of that store indicates that its
manager is enterprising, while It's
clerks are Industrious aid tasty. The
spick and span, clean and modern
aspect all rose up as witnesses and SO
testified.
