J. r. McGregor came to Oskaloosa
on Jan. l, 1896, from Burlington and
entered into partnership in the retail
furniture business with c. B. Stull at
No. 116-11S. High avenue West. The
Stull & McGregor firm transacted
business at that location for many
years, but the partnership was dis
solved in March, 1905, following q
destructive fire that completely dcs
troyed the building and merchandise
J. X. McGregor then took over the
| business in his own name and has
since conducted it. Friends will be
glad to learn that Harry Douglass, al

both second and third floors there are
three large plate glass windows on
the front side of the building in addi-
ton to dozens of smaller windows.
Reaching out over the front walk
from the entrance to the building is
Il large steel canopy of handsome de-
sign with steel girders at the top an
choring it to the monster 81" beams
that extend the entire length of the
building. The lower border of the
canopy is adorned with fancy colored
glass of harmonious design and ar
rangement and made doubly striking
at night by dozens of electric lights
that are arranged prorusely about the
interior. The display windows are al
so lighted at night by electric tung-
stems and N-ray reheCtors placed
along the top.
The interior of the building is fully
in keeping with the elegance OF the
outside construction and is fitted up
with every modern appliance and
convenience looking toward the com
fort of the patrons and the efficient
handling of trade. The greater pOr-
ton of first floor is devoted to large
salesroom in which are kept the bet
ter lines of goods offered by the house.
Large pillars of graceful design and
harmonious finishing support the cell
ing of the room. Across three sides
of the room extends a wide. ample
balcony on which are also kept var

north end of the room, 100 feet on the
west side and 80 feet on the east.

as a ladies' rest room and the COM
forts which it offers will unquestion-
ably be duly appreciated by the lady
patrons of the store. The offices OF
the firm are located in the north end
of main floor and their construction
constitutes a handsome piece OF work

the fullest measure to the comfort
and efficiency of the Office force. The

THE M'CRECOR STORE
An Elegant New Building and Fine
Business Emporium.

The new J. r. McGregor furniture
store, No. 3O1-3O3.305 High avenue
West, planned and constructed dur
ing the past year and occupied by the
firm since the first of February, Is
one OF tile largest and finest mercan-
tile establishments in southern Iowa
and viii compare .,favOrably with the
home Of any retail furniture COM
pany in the middle west. The build
ing itself is a magnificent structure,
three stories and basement, and Is
representative of an unprecedented
confidence in the future of Oskaloosa
as well as being splendid tribute to
the progresslyelesS and success of
the ]. II. McGregor firm. 1t occupies
a floor space of 120 by 60 feet at the
northwest corner of High avenue and
q street, with the front entrance on
hte avenue. II has beauty elegance,
strength, and a distinctive type OF
architecture and construction that
places il in class by itself.
oskaloosa people will take particu-
Lar pride in the tact that the building
is an OskalooSa structure from top
to bottom. and was constructed and
builded with home products, both ma
terial and labor, thereby emphasizing
the fact that Cur city is fully able

thews, and the electric wiring and
lighting by the o. T. & L. Co.
The outside walls of the building
are of brick, with white trimmings
and the exterior plan is harmonious
combination OF simplicity and ele
gance. There is an abundance oil
windows on each floor and the entire
structure is exceptionally we'll light
ed, independent of artificial means
One of the incest and most conspicu
Gus features of the building is the
handsome glass front that extends
across the entire south front of the
main floor OF the structure and along
forty feet of the = street side. A
large entrance way cut into the build
ing in the center of the High avenue
side is also composed solely of large
plate glass. Prism glass is used at
the top of the display windows and
adds much to the beauty of the eX
terror. A novel feature OF the dis
play windows is the fact that they
extend to within few inches of the
sidewalk and the interior space used
for displaying goods is on the same
level as the remainder OF main floor
and does not consist of the customary
elevated floors. This is a new feat
ure that is being adopted by the larg
er and more modern retail furniture
stores throughout the country and ha;
