Efficiency" is the magic key which
opens the door to all successful
prises. and this principle has been rec
ognized in the Charles Il. Smith & Son
clothing store where the watch word
convenience" is regarded as the>fand-
maiden of good service.
In developing these principles very
considerable number of improvements
have recently been made.
First among these is the new rOomy
balcony across the rear of the store
room, where up-todate Office quarters
are located, as well as selling quarters
for several distinct lines of merchan
disc. An Improvement not yet complete
is the extension of the balcony along
the west side of the store, with new
cabinets installed on the sales floor pro-
per and display and selling room
above for the luggage department.
A luggage department is something
new in this city, where generally leath-
err grips, hand bags etc, are shown
wherever convenient at the moment.
A dressing room will he of easy access,
to the new quarters on the main floor.
Furthering the department idea is
the newly arranged quarters where kid
dies clothing is shown complete in ev
cry detail. Comfortable chairs are pro-
vided for the busy mother of the boy
in knickerbockers and here she may sit
at ease and be shown every article of
clothing that her lad requires. A
glimpse through glass show cases re-
veals wonderful assortment of clever
suits in both wash and wool materials,
attractive even to eyes of other than the
mothers of small boys.
In the basement is one Of the handiest
of the store-the new moth
and dust proof room--which measures
approximately thirty by ten feet. Here
heavy coats, furs, etc, may be kept
absolutely protected throughout the
season and. biggest boon of all, may be
shown on the hottest day in summer
without extra effort of delving into
packing chests.
A process of general Encouragement
has been going on for some time in the
Smith store, which even at this period
gives ample indication of being a big
in the popular store, both
for it's progressive owners and the Gus
toners as well.
