Almost Ready for Opening,
Coming in March.

Workmen are rapidly finishing up
the work in the new Robinson stores
in the Merchants Building block, and
Mr.. Robinson has a slight hope that
he will be able to open the new State
street stores about March 1.
At the present time the clerks of
the store are busy taking the annual
inventory and when this is completed
the ready to wear portion of the pres
ent store will be moved to the new
quarters, provided of course that the
workmen have completed the work of
placing the eases, stands, and finish
ing up the woodwork of the store.
Mr.. Robinson does not intend to
move the entire store to the new To-
cation, as the present store will be re-
tanned for the dry gods department.
The new State street store will be
q ready to-wear store i'm every partic-
ular, including shoe store, which
will be in the room next to the Lind
duist store. The new clerks who will
be needed for the stores are expected
to arrive next week, at which time full

given, together with the date Of the
formal opening
