The splendid Boston Store is being
entirely overhauled and modernizcd in
it's interior, and when the improve
ments are finished it will no doubt be
the most complete store in this section
of Minnesota. The shoe section will
be changed from the west end of the
store to the south side and the ladies'
ready-to-wear department will be re-
moved from the second floor to the
main floor, occupying the entire south
end of the building. The space occu-
pied by the clothing department will
be condensed and improved by the
installation Of the latest modern cab
inets for the proper keeping and dis
play of clothing. This department
will be on the south side near the
front of the building as at present,
while the north side will continue to
house the dry goods department. The
second floor will be utilized for rugs,
draperies, lace curtains and surplus
stock. The Herald understands that
as soon as the improvements are COM
pleted the public will be given suffi-
cient money-saving inducements to
visit the remodeled store.
