MAKING
IMPROVEMENTS
Space of 60X1O0 Feet i'm Basement is
Added to Store Space of Klein's
Department Store at Sandstone.

The Klein's Department Store at
Sandstone. which is one of the larg-
est of its kind between the Twin Cities
and the Twin Ports, is enjoying in
creased business right along and this
has grown to such an extent that they
have found it necessary to provide ad-
ditiOnal store space. The basement is
therefore being fixed up for the shoe
department., blankets, and any special
feature bargains. C. J. Hoglund, Fin
laysOn contractor, and a crew of a
dozen men are busy making the
changes in the store, which it is eX-
pected, will be completed within two
weeks.
Jos. H. Klein, the proprietor and
manager, came to Sandstone in 1916
and conducted a small store in a
frame building for five years. In 1921
he erected the present large building
which at that time semed altogether
too large. 1t is built of sandstone and
is 60x150 feet. The basement addi-
ton for show room and sales room
will be 60x1OO feet The entrance to
the basement will be in the center
of the main floor. At the head of
the stairs will be a big Neon electric
sign directing folks to the basement
Mr.. Klein is very enthusiastic about
the extensive improvements he is max
ing and is optimistic about the future
business outlook. AS in the past they
will continue to handle dry goods,
ready to wear clothing, shoes and
ladies' wearing apparel. Space on the
balcony floor has been rented for a
beauty parlor to be opened early, in
November with Mrs. Doris O'Malley
of Hinckley, in charge.

and others in official life here who
hail from those districts to know just
which politicians reach the Presidents
ear. Naturally, the solons prefer to
serve as the sole interpreters of con-
ditions in their locality in conferences
at the White House. Sometimes local
leaders have an audience with the
President which does not harmonic
with the Senator'S or Representatives
plans. Briefly, the important ques-
ton for those on Capital Hill is who
saw Hoover, and what was said?"
The various departments and bu-
reaus of the government are putting
the finishing touches to their esti-.
mates of expenditures for the year be-
ginning July 1, 1880. Many depart
ment heads are deliberately raising
their estimates knowing that the Bud
get Bureau will probably shave off the
proposed amounts before submitting
the figures to the House Committee or

meet early next month for the purpose
of preparing fiscal measures to be

Frequently it is thought that the
three officials at the First State Bank
of AskOv haven't much to do, and ma
turally they have their idle moments,
but they surely also have their hands
full at times.
An investigation of the amount of
business transacted there Monday, Oct.
81, reveals that on that day alone they
cleared over 600 checks totaling
$1S,8S9.00., The total credits and de-
bits for that day amounted to $50 ,43S-
90. Which by the way. is no small
amount of money to handle i'm one day.
For the first twenty-one days of this
month their records show the total

total amount of checks paid during
the same period is 67,S95.00
