Before Purchasing.

During the last ten days the in

Boston Toggery have undergone a
thorough remodeling and rearrang-

The idea behind the changes was
to place the merchandise within
easy access of the customer to tine
end that each department of Bish-
OPP Co., and the Boston Toggery can
give their customers quicker and
more satisfactory service with the
goods openly displayed.
The show cases and counters in

been removed from the south side
and especially constructed oak tab
les have been Installed. There are
fifteen of these tables in the Bishop
Co. and Boston Toggery depart
ments.
The remodeling is not completed
and will be going on for some time
with the idea of completing the
ether changes and decorating as
rapidly as possible without interfer.
ing with trade. The customers will
be delighted with the new arrange
ment as much Of the merchandise
is available for inspection without
interfering with the trade.
