MUNGER & LONGS.

Improvements Oil dH 6ALeHSIf6 SCdie
have just been completed at the Mum
ger & Long department store, Cam
den, which have not only made each
floor more attractive in appearance
and permits better display of mer-
chandise but which serves in still
more substantial way of giving en-
larged space to several departments
which had outgrown original space
allotted to them. Work has been in
progress throughout the entire sum-
mer and everything has been complet-
ed in ample time for Camden's Big
Week." which starts on Monday next
and in which the Munger & Long
store has planned to play an import
ant part in entertaining the neop'e.
Most every department mas under
gone changes as a part of care fulsy
studied plan to better the service of
| the store in all its branches. Bcg'n-
I, ming in the basement-extrar room has
| been provided especially to enable
the adding of several new lines that fit
| in with the basement stock aad TO
make possible an even larger display
of some of the lines already carried.
| The basement certainly shows up as
brighter spot and is a most con-
venient shopping place FOR the public
! in the many lines it handles.
| On the first floor more important
changes have been made by which
the department of men and children's
hats are transferred over to the
Broadway side of the store and is
/, given double it's former space, while
the Pattern Department has moved
over to the west side of the store and
also gets double it's origina, space.
| In both cases the public benefits
through now having double the ..ssort-
ment to choose from. TO make pos
sible the enlargement of these two de-
partments it was necessary to build
mezzanine floor at the rear of the
store which is given over to the office
AMI counting room, located just at the
| top of the first stairway leading to the
second floor Here are handled any
complaints or suggestions as to SER
vice, where bills are paid and any,
thing else cared for requiring the at
j tention of the members of the firm.
! To make this improvement the ladies
retiring raom was moved entirely to
the Broadway side of the store or op-
/ posite to where it was formerly. The
resting room is open to the adult lady
public all the time for recreation.
Very noticeable and substantial
Improvements have been made ON the
second floor, including a complete
re-carpeting of the floor and the
transformation of every detail of the
various departments of women and
children's wear and through these
changes the assortment this Fall is
the largest and best in the history of
the store particular care having been
exercised in selecting wearing apparel
of all descriptions of just such char
acter as the public want, and the very
substantial increase of business re-
corded during the early part of the
season, indicated that the firm have
provided quality, style and prices such
as the people want. The Millinery
department has nearly double it's
former space and is making a feature
of displaying beautiful millinery that
are perfect reproductions of New
York fashions, all hats being made
by Munger & Long Milliners and no
two hats trimmed exactly alike. All
of this desired millinery service is
obtained too within the limits of pop
ular prices. Thus far this season,
the Millinery department has doubled
all former seasons records in sales.
Another department that has had
particular care in the buying of it's
stock is that of ladies' and misses
suits, long coats, skirts, etc., there be-
ing the largest and best showing of
these garments ever carried and of a
quality and air of style that is in
keeping with the seasons demands
The Infants department also meets
the increased patronage in that line
with much larger display than ever
The Men and Boys clothing depart
ment on the second floor has been
given half as much again it's former
space, through the changes which en-
ables almost double the display of
former seasons and consequently even
greater satisfaction than ever.
/, Thus with all these Improvements,
the store looks forward to a great
week during Buy in Camden Week, "
the features of this week being con-
certs every afternoon of a varied
character, beginning at O'Clock and
every day each department will offer
some one, seasonable special staple
merchandise at or below actual cost.
The Daily papers will keep the public
posted from day to day on these The
store will be open Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights of the special
week, Jennings band one night and a
big orchestra another night Patrons
will be asked to save their sales slips
during the week and to those having
made the highest total purchases dur
ing that week, twenty prizes will be
given.
