in the type of hats displayed.
The department has been
advantageously located on
the second floor, convenient
to the ready-to-wear 1t is
away from the confusion of
the street and makes shop
ping for a hat a pleasure.
Plenty of fitting tables
and mirrors give the Gus
toners opportunity for try
ing on hats; display cases
around the room give ample
space for showing the more
select models. 1t is the in
tention of the manager of
this department to carry
smart, yet conservative,
styles in good quality of ma
terial and workmanship.
The general attractiveness
of the second floor furnish
ings make a delightful set
ting for the beauty of the
millinery displays. 4
The women's ready-to-
wear has been moved from
its old position on the first
floor to a lovely new depart
ment on the second floor.
This has been done so that
the women shoppers will
have as much room as pos
sible in which to shop, for it
has been proved over and
over that the woman buyer
hates to be crowded or
cramped for room when
buying ready-to-wear gar
ments. She likes to inspect
the garment, try it on and
parade before the mirrors in
order that she may see the
back, front and composite
appearance Of the garment
before she finally decides to
take it. Every facility Of
convenience that will make
for the satisfaction Of the
woman buyer has been pro-
vided in this department.
In addition, the department
has been ideally arranged
and has been so furnished
and finished as to make an
artistic background for the
The Indianapolis times., 1923-09-03

line of modish garments for
stout women, and here the
woman who experiences diff
fculty in being fitted be-
cause she calls for larger gar
ments will find a wide range
of models from which to
make satisfactory selec-
ton. Here she will find
clothes that are not only
beautiful, but they are so
fashioned and designed as
to be becoming to her figure.
Selection of Clothes Is
a Pleasure

to the pleasure Of selecting
clothes in this new depart
ment, and this same thing

splendidly stocked baby de-
partment. Here the mother
will find everything for a
baby only day old to the
little tot of two years. Com
plete layettes in varying
styles and materials may be
had for the wee baby as
well as all the crib and baby
basket accessories.
Lovely wax figures dis
play the cunning clothes for
the little child of two years
of age, giving the mother an
exact idea of just how her
The Indianapolis times., 1923-09-03

holds good for the store in
it's entirety, is the fact that
an abundance of daylight,
which streams through the
windows on three sides Of
the building, makes artificial
light unnecessary.
For this reason colors may
be chosen with accuracy:
one will know the exact
shade he has chosen and will
see the garment before he
purchases it, just as it will
appear when it is worn on
the street.

tors on the first floor is a

youngster will look when ar
rayed in them.
This department has been
placed on the first floor so
that the mother will not
have to ride the elevator
with her little children in
search of clothes for them.
In this, as in all other de-
partments of the store, the
arrangement has been
worked out in such a way as
to provide as much service
and comfort for the shopper
as possible.

tion, but it is a credit to the
city of Indianapolis and to
the state of Indiana.
Widely Recognized Business
Reputation
The Fair has established a
reputation not only among
its patrons, but in the mar
kets Of this country as well,
where it receives an excep.
tionally high standing. II is
widely known as a store that
handles up-to-date merchan-
disc of good quality at popu-
lar prices. SO firm has been
the business policy that The
Fair has meyer experienced
a year when it did not show
some growth, despite the
panic of 1907 and other years
Of financial depression.
AT the same time that The
Fair has been growing and
extending its business field
it has been helping to make
Indianapolis the popular and
huge shopping center that
it is. The Fairs influence
has steadily advanced within
a radius of seventy-fve miles
around Indianapolis, for
people have recognized the
fact that they can buy here
with absolute confidence,
whether by personal shop
ping trips or through the
mail.
The Fair is an integral
part Of Indianapolis. and
with eighteen years of un-
questioned success behind it,
it stands ready to enter the
biggest and broadest field
in its history, armed with the
confidence and that with
them they carry the good
will of the whole city.

beautiful merchandise that
is on display.
Lines of Merchandise Much
More Complete

More Complete
Never before in the his
tory Of The Fair has the
store carried so much beau
tiful new merchandise as it
does today. All the new stocks
have been chosen with care
ful thought and attention so
that the buyer would get new
styles in a standard quality
of merchandise at popular
prices.
Not only have the stocks
been well chosen with re-
gard to style and materials,
but arrangements have been
made so that they may be
artistically displayed. Cases
attractively displaying new
styles have been placed
around the department on
the second floor.
Smart Apparel for Stout
Women

tention has been given to
stylish apparel for stout
women. The ready-to-wear

Always vitality Interested in
West Washington Street

The "Traugott Boys" as
they are termed by their
many frler ds, have always
been vitally interested in the
welfare of the West Wash
ington Street district, and
they have given lavishly of
their time, energy and talent
to make this an enterprising
up-to-date district, and much
of the credit for the wonder
full development of this sec
ton during the past years
can be laid to their efforts.
Today The Fair not only

Traugott. He was assisted
in this little store at All
419 by his two brothers, Leo
and Edward. At this time
only a small stock of men S
and women's furnishings
and shoes was carried. To
morrow this store is holding
a formal opening in its new
ly enlarged and improved
home at 311-325 West Wash
ington Street.
Since the beginning, the
Fair has been operated un-
der the same management
and a steadily growing
clinetele has been built upon
the fixed policy of giving the
public standard merchandise
at popular prices.
In 1905 it was found that
an enlargement was neces-
sary, so the store was in
creased until it included the
space from 407 to 419 West
Washington Street.
Came to Present Site in
1920.
Even during these first
few years the progressive
policies, the inherent hon
esty of merchandising and
the sound judgment Of the
Traugott brothers was being
recognized, and so IN 1920 a
big step of advancement was
made by The Fair in order
to keep pace with the steady
growth that came as a nat
ural result Of the good will
of the patrons. At this
time The Fair moved into a
modern fre-proof structure
with attractive exterior and
much more commodious
quarters at 311-321 West
Washington Street. AL
though there was a differ
ence in the physical appear
ance of the store because Of
the enlarged space, modern
improvements, etc, there
was absolutely no change in
the policy of the store and as
little change as possible in
the personnel - practically
all Of the old employees went
with the owners into the new
store and have still con-
tinued in their employ up to
the present time-this at
tests the fairness of the
managers to those whose
livelihood they make posi-
BILE as well as to the general
public.
The Only Store in Central
Indiana That Completely
Outfits Entire
Family
Starting, as it did with
only a few line of goods,
The Fair enlarged it's de-
partments to keep pace with
its growth until, at the pres
ent time, it stands ds model
of a ready-to-wear store, car
rying a complete line of
clothing and furnishings for
the Quitting of every mem
Der Of the family from head
to foot. In this, the store is
somewhat unique. for there
are very few exclusive
ready-tO-wear stores in the
whole country carrying such
a complete line. In this par
ticular city it stands alone.
It's present location is in
the heart of a rapidly grow
ing greater indianapolis. No
longer is it possible to hold
the shopping district to a
radius Of a few blocks, and
West Washington Street
furnishes a direct path in its
development.
