store Is as Bright and Attractive as
the Fine Stock of New Goods

When the doors of the G. R.
Sanders Co.'s store are opened to the
public this afternoon, the people of
Pullman and vicinity will have an
opportunity to see one of the most
attractive, and best appointed stores
IN Whitman county, and the only one
which includes a meatmarket. They
will also be given an impressive de-
nonstration of what transformation
can be wrought in the appearance of
store by skilled painters and car
penters. Those familiar with this
room will hardly be able to recog-
nize it, so greatly has it been i'm
proved during the past few weeks.
The cream tint on the side walls and
the ivory white of the ceiling give the
big store an atm osphere of cleanli-
ness and freshness as well as greatly
improving the light, while handsome
new showcases and re-painted and
re-polished counters add much to the
effect and harmonic with the bright
and beautiful new goods.

completely renovated, but the de-
partments have been re-arranged
with view to convenience and eff

ready-to-wear department and in
connection with it a nicely appointed
rest room has been provided. A
feature of this department will be
the presence of an expert corset fit
