MESA

Splendid Equipment For Mesa Store
 Within a short time the Toggery of Mesa will install improvements in store fixtures and interior alterations, the approximate cost of which will total $15,000- Already there has been ordered from the Grand Rapids Show Case company S1O,000 worth of unit system glass case fixtures The pur- chase will comprise two fun car loads and will be shipped as soon as it can be completed Some time ago draughts- men from the factory came to Mesa and spent several days taking meas urements and designing the interior of the Toggery, later submitting a blue print which after being altered 10 suit the ideas of the proprietor and the store superintendent, Mir. Robert Reynolds, was accepted, and the fac tory instructed to rush the work to completion
 The unit system, which is in use in the larger stores of the country, con- sists of glass cases for merchandise, glass covered clothing and ready to wear racks, glass enclosures with shelving for mems furnishings, hats, caps, and glass protected cases for all notions and articles for women, for which a case is at all adaptable.
 This system means that the entire stock will be open to the eye of the customer. If one wants a shirt one sees at a glance every shirt in the store, the same is true of hats and clothing.
 The windows of the big store win be remodeled into an l. shape, the space being utilized for unit system cases for notions and caps. In the rear center of the store a broad stair way will lead to the offices and to the trunk and bedding department. Be- heath the mezzanine floor will be placed the millinery and ready to wear garments, with fitting and alteration rooms and 8 comfortable rest room
 Mir. Reynolds in speaking of the great expense attached to the change said that it was not an extravaganza but an economy. Customers can be waited on much more quickly, there will be no deteriation of merchandise from dust and flies, the amount of mer- chandise carried can be easily tripled oh the same floor, space and with the Toggery it meant either the i'm mediate securing of a larger store or the economizing of space.
 When the new glass case interior is installed and all the improvements contemplated are completed. Mesa will

 CONSULT ON ROADS

County Engineer Lane of Pinal coun- ty was in Phoenix yesterday consulting with State Engineer Maddock in the matter of the road program for Pinal, securing federal aid therefor, and CO., ordinatinS the Pinal county program with that of the state highway system.
 It is considered probable that Pinal county will ask the people to vote bonds in the sum of nearly a million dollars for road construction, to be met with federal aid, and it is considered that federal aid will probably be se- cured if the Pinal projects coordinate with the state program in some such way as completing the Mesa Superior road to Florence.
 Further conferences in the matter will probably be held.
