AUGUSTA RETAIL STORE OF BECK HAzzARD
COMPANY MARKS MANUFACTURERS BELIEF
IN MAINE-MADE GOODS FOR MAINE PEOPLE

They have been hustling, for the
old front of the store has been rip
ped out, a new front is almost in
in the interior. Cases, window
frames and other articles used were
all ready to set in their places when
the time came and this has expedited
the work.
The designation given this new
eck-Hazzard store is interesting in
more ways than one. 1t Is officially
known as No. 116 because that is the
number assigned when the lea Sc was
made out. 1t is the third to be
opened in Maine for there are all
ready stores in Bangor and Water
Vile and the latter part Of the month
a fourth will be opened in Portland.
There are, really, lao stores in the
system, scattered all over New Eng
land and New York State. Another
Syracuse, N. Y, and within a few
days there win r other stores at
Poughkeepsie and Peekskill.
The opening of the Maine stores Is
a distinct step in the effort of Mr..
Hazard to market Maine made
goods in his own state. He is q firm
believer in Maine products and has
announced that the best way to boost
them is to back them and sell them
to Maine people. In all of the 140
stores, Maine made shoes will be sold
exclusively SO that the product of
the kennebec valley will be known
to hundreds of peorle who have
never seen the State of Maine but
who are satisfied to wear Maine
made goods.
The new Augusta store, it is an
nounced, will be as modern as 1t
Is possible to make it. Especial
attention has been given to the VEN
tilation, light and heat. The amount
of electrical current used will, it is
said, be the largest of any store in
Augusta. The lighting for the VIM
dows has been designed by New
York firm, which specializes in
theatrical lighting and will be like
nothing seen in Augusta.
While the name of the local mana
ger has not yet been announced, the
district manager, having supervision
of the stores in Maine, will be John
keehan.
