MUCH WORK DONE IN STORE
More Room Provided and Interior Is Fitted Up
 Very Handsomely

At a considerable cost, the entire store of Steele Smith has undergone changes which place that institution in the first rank of modern stores in the south. The improvements which are just completed consist of the installation of balcony overlooking the first or main floor. double
 elevator service and the renovation of the second floor into most attractive and well lighted shopping center.
 The first floor has been changed about considerably, resulting in wider passage ways, more light and very attractive in terior scheme of decorations. Fresh air providers are among the new features During the rush seasons and even through the quiet seasons the capacity of inc elevators was not sufficient to handle
 the shoppers. To remedy that matter the company installed a new Otis elevator with a greater capacity than the other cars. The arrangement facilitates shop hing between the upper floors and the main floors, rendering it an easy and comfortable matter to make the trip The improvements at Steele-smith also include the balcony which gives the con cern about as much space as second floor and even more attractive than an
 additional floor could have been made.
 The balcony leads to the second hoor'
 where the entire yardage department IS
 located. That system of operation is new
 in this section, there being only few stores with such an arrangement. The company has installed a ladies' rest room in the center of the second floor where desks, easy chairs, writing materials and telephones are provided for the comfort of the patrons of thesstore.
 By the additions and improvements the firm is in position to handle the entire
 patronage expeditiously. according to Manager A. w. B. Johnson.
 In connection with the progress of the Steele Smith store. MT. Johnson said yes terday that the lease on the adjoining building was executed in anticipation that some time soon an addition might be erected thereon. He added, however, that it was policy of the company to expand only where the business imperatively de- manded such move. He said that prob
 ably within a comparatively short time an addition would be erected. Such a structure, he said, would be five stories, similar to the present Steele-Smith store.
