PENNEY !! E! N |; STORE
:. :. 7. IN. new HOME
DEPARTlRNT STORE MOVED TO
REALTY BL0CK-PLACE -
UP!TO-DATE

Confidence in the future of Little
Falls and vicinity could hardly be bet
ter expressed than in what has been
done by the j. c. Penney Co., which, in
mOving its local store to the new quar-
tors in the Realty block this week, is
not only more than doubling its hoor
space but has equipped the store in q
manner that puts it in class with
any outside Of the twin cities and
Duluth. Five years ago, the local store
was opened, in the Close block on First
street northeast, with Geo. i. Hughes
as manager. The growth of the busi-
ness has been such that the old quar-
ters were long ago inadequate and as
soon as the opportunity for the larger
quarters and better Location were avail-
able Mr.. Hughes availed himself Of
same.
The new store home includes what
was formerly the dry goods department
and the ladies shoe department of the
Burton store, with frontage of 40
feet on First street and 25 feet on
Broadway. Che total hoor space
amounts to over 5000 square feet
The interior of the store has been
completely redecorated and the fronts
have been treated to fresh coats OF
paint, in the colors of the company,
canary yellow trimmed with black. A
large electric sign has been erected
above the First street entrance. Con-
siderable expense was involved in the
remodeling of the background for the
display windows. On the first street
side the background is finished in ma
tural fir with white panels and the
Broadway windows are finished with
light and dark stained fir. New light
ing fixtures have been installed in the
windows, as well as throughout the
store.
Fixtures throughout the store are all
new, made to order by the Grand Ra-
pids Show Case company. They are of
fumed oak and the wall cases are Sec
tional and equipped with adjustable
shelves. A cash carrier system like
the one in the old location has been in.
stalled. The office and cashier g
booth, are located in the rear of the
store, built in behind the fixtures. "A
private fitting room is a part of the
ready-to-wear department fixtures.
For the convenience Of its customers
and persons visiting the store the man
agement has fitted up Q rest room on
the south side of the dies depart
ment, with comfort Station eonnec-
tiOn.
In moving to the new location Mr..
Hughes is putting in a bigger stock
and a wider assortment. He left yes
sterday on buying trip for the store. 4
