RUHSTADT'S
STORE TOBE
RENODELEO
Another of Hammond's Big
NJ Mercanti1e Establish
ments Joins in the March
of Progressiveness ;$5, 1000
to $4,000 to Be Spent.

Ruhstadt's store. another big Ham
mond mercantile establishment recog
nizing the public demand for the most
up-to-date facilities for the retailing of
merchandise, has decided to remodel
its entire store and the work has al
ready begun.
The entire front of the store is to be
torn out, the two entrances are to be
replaced by large single entrance. The
show windows are to be made deeper
and more modern. new stairway to
the second floor is to be put in, a base
nent is to be utilized for the sale of
merchandise and the whole store is to
be re-arranged.
II is expected that the improvements,
when completed, will cost between s5.-
600 and $4,000. and the store will be
made one of the most attractive en-
pcIiums in the city.
An Old Establishment.
Ruhstadt's bazaar is in one of the
best locations in Hammond. It is also
one of the pioneer mecantile estab-
lishments in the city. Mr.. Ruhstadt
has always conducted his business
along conservative lines, but he is now
convinced that the time has come for
him to make his establishment meet
the reuirements of a metropolitan city
In every way, and so he has made the
arrangement with the Towle estate. the
lessons for the improvements.
The new stairway to the second floor
viii make this floor space much more
available, and the utilization of the
space in the basement will add consid-
orably to the room for the display of
goods.
Probably the most noticeable change
nj the store will be the Improvement
of the front of the store. The present
dinky entrances will be closed and
will be substituted by one magnih-
cent entrance in the center Of the
building.
