STORE IMPROVEMENTS

Uc .. Fciliy w.
 Three years ago H. A. Price of the J. C. Penny company arrived in Mesa and put in small stock for the reason that there was no adequate sized store room. Later he moved the firms rap idly growing stock of mercha ndise into larger quarters across the street. Again the business has outgrown the room and plans are under way by which the J. C. Penny company will have a frontage Of at least 60 feet, with adequate basement facilities, and this big store, so MT. Price assures, will be filled 10 the brim.
 The Lesueur- Salisbury Co.
 An S0-foot addition, making his store the full length of the lot, is just one portion of the plan that ]. w. Lesueur. now sole owner of the business, has in mind for the coming summer. The business has so far outgrown the mer- chandise space that the salespeople are handicapped in handling the trade, and on busy days it is difficult to steer ones way around. The new addition will be ready for the fall business.
 The Togeery's New Equipment
 Just an even $l0.000 will go into new fixtures for the Mesa Toggery during the coming summer. The unit system of shelving and show cases will be used exclusively, when every article of mer- chandise save the piece goods on the women's side will be under glass. There will not be seen a box of shirts, hos iery, hats or underwear. The goods will | all be stacked in orderly array on the | shelves and completely protected from | dust and dirt. This plan will be a great space saver and the merchandise { will practically sell itself The cus- | toner sees from across the counter the ! color of shirt or socks he desires, and | the clerk will be right at hand to aid ! in the sale. Ten thousand dollars is a goodly pile to put into fixtures wehn a store is so well supplied already as | tho Toggery now is. But all the pres | ent fixtures and show cases are fated | for removal, and an equipment the equal of any in the larger cities of | the country will be installed instead.
 The Attaway Latham Company The recent addition to the business firms of Mesa, consisting of the Alta l Latham company, deserves men 1 ton for the greatly enlarged quarters now occupied by the store over the amount of floor space when they pur- | chased the business from the former | owners. The front was changed, the partition between two storerooms taken out, and a large warehouse erected in the rear. making most con- modious quarters for the business. Mr Latham has just sold his interest tc | NJ. c. Phelps, who, with his partner will continue the upbuilding of their satisfactory trade. In the matter oi hardware and implement firms, it is doubtful if many larger towns in tho southwest can show such stores as tho | Attaway- Latham concern and th' Mammoth store of the O. s. Staplel company. both of this city.
 C. C. Jarrett's Store
 Some months ago c. c. Jarrett pur chased the store building where h' was at the time doing business. ant the past fall he remodeled the front renovated the interior and moved hi stock of mems furnishings and shoe into his new building. This handsom mems store (save for it's women , shoes and hose) is an attractive addi tio nto the town.
