This building, covering nearly one

There have been improvements in
store furnishings and fixtures along
with the acquisition of new space a
notable Improvement is the wide main

merchandise. This arrangement saves
the shopper steps and makes buying a
pleasure
Some idea or the magnitude OF the
business may be obtained when it is
stated that the store has employed con-
stantly nearly 1000 people, and in the
busy seasons the number runs higher.
Thirty Delivery Wagons.
An average OF thirty delivery wagons
are kept busy making three and four
trips a day to all parts OF the city.
Deliveries are also made daily. twice

The patronage accorded the store
since Its opening has justified the per-
fecting OF extensive buying arrange

factories. The daily papers carry no
ices OF many special sales due to this
perfected buying system. In this con-
