A. great many. residences have been
modernized by the owners who had
reached the point In their lives when
they felt they could afford a few of
the luxuries of life and enjoy them
with the knowledge that they were
paid for. A number Of the business
men have also done the same thing.
Stores In various ways have been i'm
proved with the installation of down
to the minute designs in plate glass
fronts and along this tine the business
center Of the city has been made much
more attractive.
