The Fox property is on the south
side of Pratt street just west of the
Society for Savings. 1t is fifty feet
wide and 125 feet deep. There are
gangways on either side, therefore Mr..
Slattery is able to develop the per-

Isaac A. Allen jr., as will be seen by
the above drawing, has made a very
attractive plan. There is no other
building in Hartford that closely re-
sembles it,
The first floor will be sixteen feet
between joists, and the second floor
twelve feet In addition to the light
from windows on four sides, the first
floor will have the benefit of two large
skylights Mr.. Slattery's patrons will
be able to recognize the true color

with ease.
Whitney show windows will be an

Mr.. Slattery deals in silks, dress
goods, coatings, velvets, dress linens
and the better grades of wash goods.
He had his eye on Hartford for years
before coming here. He felt that there
was a field in Hartford for such
business as he planned to conduct and
from the conspicuous success he has
made since coming here it would APP
pear that his judgment was sound.
But a second floor store never mea-

Mr.. Slattery is enthusiastic over the

and the plans about to materialize for

he: Price and quality were the first
words in our lexicon when we began

They will be the first considerations

I'VE buy direct from the mills, and
being quantity buyers we are able to
retail our goods at wholesale prices.
We specialize in reliable fabrics. We
step on nobody's toes-and we
