 Attracts New Trade
 Mr. Griffin stated that Montgomery Ward & Company is now being urged by many city business organizations and Chambers of Commerce all over the country to install stores in their towns. Although this may seem odd the fact is now well-established that Ward stores draw trade from very great distances. In this day of the automobile and good roads it is not at all unusual for people to come as far as 100 miles to look at and com pare the merchandise in Ward store.
 Company President Speaks
 George B. Everitt, president of Montgomery Ward & Company ex- plains that there is no intent to in- iure the small store owners. "Our experience has been," he says, that wherever We have located local mer- chants have benefited. Every town has been stimulated as a trade center and the regular trading radius has been increased to thirty and thirty five miles, whereas formerly it was only from ten to fifteen miles.
 Such a store as ours does offer an opportunity to our regular customers to actually judge the quality and val ue of the merchandise far more ac- curately than is possible from a cata- logue description. No attempt has been made to overshadow local mer- chants"
 Statements by Manager
 Other statements made by Manager U. l.. Griffin since his arrival on the field include the following:
 "The store will be purely a local organization, he says, "and event ually will have all employees from the city"
 aWe expect to become a real Put nam organization and we will work and strive for the welfare of this, " Mir. Griffin continued. This store un- doubtedly will serve to attract many thousands more people to Putnam and will make the city a better shopping center than ever before"
 "One purpose of this store stated Mir. Griffin, lis to give quick over the counter service to new customers, as well as those old friends of Mont gomery Ward & Company who have bought from Wards by mail.
 While the new store cannot hope to stock all of the 10000 articles described in the catalogue. it will handle all lines of merchandise which customers of this vicinity will need.
 "The policy of Montgomery Ward & Co.," says Mir. Griffin, lis to employ local people whenever possible"
 Local people know each other, he stated. "They understand each others needs and desires. Therefore, an employee who lives in Putnam can give more satisfactory service to any customer who lives in this territory.
 Another thing is that we realize our local customers prefer to buy from people whom they know per sonally and by name. They can stop and chat in a friendly way if they so desire.
 "we realize that our local salespeo- pie have a personal following of ae- auaintances who will prefer to buy from someone they know. We are trying to make this store real loca, institution and We know that one of

give the new local salespeople an op- portunity to aequaint themselves with the merchandise and prices for the big opening rush on Saturday.
 Montgomery Ward merchandise is not new in this community" said Mr. Griffin, the new store manager Our firm has thousands of regular GUS toners within a radius of thirty miles, and all have been invited to come to our Saturday opening. We are mak- ing preparations to accommodate at least 10000 people during the day"
 Many Problems Solved
 In showing a reporter through the store. MT. Griffin pointed out some of the problems which the company has solved. A new type of fixtures means that customers can handle and closely inspect any of the merchandise, thus being able to accurately judge quality and value. Old fashioned counters. which are rapidly disappearing in leading department stores. are replae- ed here with open top display tables where merchandise is attractively dis played and may be inspected by the customer. The problem of the most effective arrangement of tables and of whole departments is one that de- mands scientific analysis, but Mont gomery Ward & Go. has been able to solve this and many other questions because of it's wonderful opportunity Co obtain information and statistics rom it's many retail stores.
 Prospects of City
 Cities which are natural centers for distribution of merchandise and which are showing steady progress are being selected throughout the country by Montgomery Ward & Company for the establishment of it's new retail stores
 The progress shown by Putnam, which analysis proved to be one of these natural distribution centers, caused this nationally known institu-- tion to establish one of it's retail stores here.
 A Modern Store
 A preliminary trip of inspection through the store gives promise Of pleasant surprise for those who visit the new establishment during Satur- days opening. Little worlds of in- terest fill the store from roof to base ment, consisting of the many depart ments with their new displays.
 An all time force of local employees will include eight men and twenty five women. For the opening day many more salespeople will be- neees- sary in order to give the anticipated crowd prompt service.
 The New Building
 The beautiful new building now oe- eupied by Montgomery Ward and Company was built by D. Boulais, contractor of Danielson. The build ing is owned by Charles Seder, who Is to be highly commended for giving Putnam such fine structure.
 The contract for the construction Of the building was let on September l5. 1929. The finished building has been praised by all who have seen II, and is credit to the institutions wno financed, planned, and built it.
 Very Attractive
 The building is fifty-fve feet wide and i20 feet long with full base ment, two floors and a 1,50O square loot mezzanine. The front of the building is of vari-colored brick with cast stone trimmings
