Opening of Cochrane's Store

The opening of the new Cochrane
Dry Goods store last evening proved a
brilliant and complete success. The
crowds of people who thronged the
store from until 10 o'clock declared
themselves as well pleased with the ar
rangement and display of goods. Two
up-to-date improvements added great.
ly to this particular feature, namely,
the unit lighting system which casts a
strong glow from all parts of the store,
and the unit shelving system which
displays goods to maximum advan-
tage. Beautiful flowers, many of
which were contributed by fellow mer-
chants, attractively arranged in vases
and baskets added charm.
Music was furnished by Graziadei's
orchestra. About nine o'clock the
floor was cleared and half hour Of
