Announcements

The consolidation of two immense stocks of
Furniture and Housefurnishings takes place
In the merging of the Central and Raymond
stores. The combining of these two organ
izations is long stride taken toward the
approach of the ideals of both, and lays the
foundation upon which will grow into realiza-
ton the highest aims, ambitions and purposes
of the owners (whose interests are practically
Identical in both stores), to crystalline into
one concrete organization all that goes to
create one of the very largest and best
equipped Housefu1nishings establishments in
the Middle West to be so planned and de-
partmentized that every requirement of pro-
gressive merchandising, every demand of the
buying public is covered to the last detail
necessary to the thoroughly modern 10th
century business establishment.
To this end, the combined forces of the two
stores will be "headquartered" at the Ray
mond location, 1913 and 1915 Howard st.,
under the name of the CENTRAL" where
the Offices will be installed and the various
departments arranged and directed
