An ideal department store for la.
dies and children Is the goal which
the Schwartz Bros store Is endeavoring
TO attain. and n further big step In
this direction will be taken In the
near future when the store adjoin-
ms their present store. and now oc-
cupied by w. III. Yates. will be made
q part or the Schwartz Bros establish
ment and the whole divided up into
a department store where ladies' and
childrens' articles of all kinds will be
sold.
This step by this popular store will
be one that has long been desired by
many shoppers and Is one of interest
TO the town and surrounding country.
In that IL will be the first and most
complete department store of it's
kind. Besides this fact the store will
be one OF the largest In this section of
the State. and the effort OF the Messrs.
Schwartz will be to make II one of
the best. IL not the best and most
complete OF its kind. The addition
10 the present quarters will be about
$500 square feet OF floor space. The
two stores will open into each other
by a large connecting arch which
will be placed near the center of the
two stores. The addition will be
thoroughly some over and renovated
and fitted mp In the most modern and
cost.iest manner with the best of ap-
purtenances and furnishings.
The addition to the present store is
made I'm order that the shoe depart
ment may be enlarged and that COM
plete Juvenile department may be
added. At the same time 1t affords
more space for the departments In
the present quarters. which was badly
needed because of the large lines of
goods carried In the several depart
roents operated by the store. The
changes will make the store com
piete department store for ladies' and
childrens' goods.
The front of'the new quarters will
be used as a department for ladies'
misses and children's shoes. The pres
.ent shoe department will be moved
trom where II Is to these quarters
fifty feet OF space from the front be-
ing used for this department. The
Messrs. Schwartz intend to have here
ono of the most complete lines OF
fancy shoes for ladies and children
anywhere I'm the State. Back Of this
shoe department there will be a new
department. the Juvenile department
In this department everything which
children need or care for will be car
ried and may be secured. A toilet
department. carrying all manner OF
toilet articles for ladies and children
will be placed between the shoe AND
Juvenile departments.
On the second floor OF the new quar-
ters will be house furnishing de-
partment. Here carpets. mattings
upholstery and every kind of house
furnishings will be kept In stock
The space In the old store formerly
used for shoes will be given over to
a department carrying full stock OF
ladies and misses ready TO wear gar
ments. Other departments I'm the
store will be operated as at present,
except that they will be given larger
space and will carry a fuller stock
than heretofore.
One feature TO be added which will
meet with general favor with shop
pers is a rest and reading room which
will be installed at the front OF the
second floor. which Is now used az a
carpet department. A comfortable
room will be, arranged with settees,
rockers and beds. In order that ladies
may 60 there to rest at any time they
become tired OF shopping. Everybody
will be welcomed TO this rest room
which will be supplied with plenty of
reading matter and the latest fashion
magazines, SO that those who come
there will find means of rest or amusc-
ment. as they care for II. This fea-
ture will no doubt be especially wei
come to out-of-town shoppers. who
very often become tried during their
visits To the city and will be glad to
have a convenient place to rest.
The changes which will be inau-
gurated by Schwartz Eros attest the
growth Of the town and It's business
its change from the rural town To tho
adoption Of the airs and styles of a
city.
The additional space. which Is now
owned by the Messrs. Schwartz. will
be taken over the first Of August and
the necessary changes and renovations
