ARCHITECT BUSY ON
 PLANS FOR JEWELRY
 STORE IN ENSLEY
Former Bank Quarters to Be Occupied by Ellis Jew elry CO.-RemOdeling
 to Start at Once

An expert architect is at work on the building formerly occupied by the Bank of Ensley and Is making of it one of the most modern and elegant jewelry stores in the south. This store, when finished, will be occupied by the Ellis Jewelry company, which has for many years done business on Avenue E. The blue prints as made, call for a straight line of wall cases on the side of the store facing Nineteenth street, with bev- eled mirrors as background for the cut glass and silver. The woodwork through out will be of waxed finished mahogany and unusual designs in showcases will display diamonds and up-to-date jewelry. Below the balcony in the rear of the store an optical parlor, exceedingly well equipped, will furnish optical service to the Ensley people. A plate glass dis play window will face Avenue E, at the top of which will be the letter E in Old English, making the only lettering on the store for advertising purposes. A feature not only of beauty but of great assistance to shoppers will be the elec- tric fixtures of cut glass that will light the interior of the store.
 MT. Ellis is making plans for formal opening which will be made when the
 interior is finished. This is estimated will take from 60 to 90 days The plans for the fixtures complete call for minimum cost of S10000
