And yet some people say that it is only in it's infancy. This being quite probably the case. it is interest ing to speculate as to what the bus mess will be few years hence.

BIG DISPLAY ROOM
 IN FOX BUILDI.M :

One of the features of the Fox Brothers Hardware company's new building that will appeal particularly to customers of the firm who visit the store to make their. selections .is the handsome display room, located on the south side of the building. just back of the office and directors room.
 In this big, well-lighted room is to be displayed the thousands of small articles handled by the firm, apd samples of materials going into the manufacture of others. Henceforth, 1t will be possible for buyers to make their selections easily and under the most favorable conditions of light, comfort and satisfactory service.
