Four Floors Over Peoples
Bank and Space in ia
4 cobs Building.
NO NEW DEPARTMENTS
Additional Room is Needed
to Care for Growing
Business.

Developing since 1877 from a store
of modest proportions to big up.to.
date department store, Hartley's is
scheduled to take another big step for,
ward. They have just recently leased
the second, third, fourth and fifth
floors adjoining their present location
and over the Peoples National bank,
and these will, as soon as possession
can be had, be converted into selling
space that Hartley's can continue to
serve its patrons in the way it desires.
In addition to the rooms over the
bank, the room and basement in the
Jacobs building, formerly occupied by
knight G. Haas has also been leased
and will be used iuat as soon as alter
atoms are completed.
Constantly increasing business ne.
nessitates these changes and history
proves that this progressive store has
never done anything but progress The
old j. NJ. Hartley stgre formerly in the
location opposite where the Watson
building now stands. in the zenith of
its power needed bu' nine employees to
take care OF its trade.
The present business demands eighty
employees and even this number will
be increased during the buster holiday
season.
Even with the increased floor space
nearly 10000 square feet-uo new
fines Of merchendise are being ,eontein-
plated at this time. The space is need.
ed. and needed badly. to take care of
the natural expansion OF the different
lines already carist and it will assure
to its patrons fuller stocks, greater
variety and with 1t all the usual good
service in the way of competent and
trained salespeopls and courteous de
livery force.
The plans as outlined now are as
follows:
The millinery room will be moved
over the bank, its former space will be
given over to corsets. and complete
underwear department for women and
children-both knitted and muslin
styles. This. will help relieve the
crowded first floor and will allow the
busy women's rsady-to.ewar depart.

Frank M. Fisher, Desires

Swollen Cheeks.

Lying in a hospital in France sui
fering with humps, Frank NJ. Fisher.
Fairmont boy, writes his uncle, A.
G Martin, county clerk. The letter
was received by Mr. Martin this
morning. Mr. Fisher expresses the
wish that he had a photo of himself
with both sides OF the face swollen
up to unusual proportions
Prices In France are very high,
states Mr.. Fisher. An ordinary forty
cent towel Is being sold at eighty
cents by the French merchants. who
are also vaccinated with the soak
EN-" idea. When the United States
army stores handle these goods they
are found to be very much more rea.
sonable, but so often their stock Is
exhausted.
Donald Yates has been promoted
from a first class private to corporal
writes Mr.. Fisher, who too, has re-
ceived a promotion from first private
to lance corporal. In the course OF
his letter Mr.. Fisher makes mention
OF the care used by the censors who
cut much stuff out of the correspond
ence. Immediately following this
statement the censor got busy with
his scissors and clipped the lower por.
ton of the page.
Home newspapers are greatly en-
joyed by the Fairmont boys and when
ever they arrive there is great de
light in camp. In fact any kind OF
reading matter from the States is
greatly appreciated. Mr. Fisher is a
member OF the Thirteenth Company
10th United States Engineers. :,
