Sullivan, who has had charge of tho Dandon "Hub" for tho past flvo years, has nrrlvcd in Marshflold and to ' day assumed tho management of the Contrul Avenue "Hub." To many on Coos Day Mr. Sullivan needs no introduction, having won tholr acquaintance- and esteem during his provloiis rcsldenco here. ...,, , , .. , . During his previous connection with the Hub Clothing and Shoe Company he has demonstrated hlniBolf to bo -one of the best qualified Clothing and Shoo men In Coos County. For this reason he has been selected for tho management of tho Contral Avcnuo "Hub." , . ,, . , . ,, , ,t Wo aro now planning to have- a formal opening of tho Contral Avonuo "Hub" early in February. While- tho store is now opon and proparod to servo you, somo of tho cxcluslvo lines of lato winter and oarly spring goods gootlB that will bo a feature of this store will not arrlvo until tho latter part of January, and wo want tho storo comploto In evory detail when wo ask you to mnko formal inspection of it. Wo tako prido In tho fact that tho Contral Avcnuo Hub is ono -of tho finest stores of Us kind In Oregon a matter that ovory porson who visits the store will ngreo In. In fitting out tho storo as wo havo, we have followed practical business lines. Tho fixtures, being strictly up to date, aro very attractive, but thd real features of thorn aro that thoy are money-savers. ,.,..,.,, .i Thoy are moneyBdvors becauBO thoy permit a hotter display of tho goods, protect tho stock hotter and enable employes to work moro rapidly. For Instance tho clerks in tho Central Avcnuo "Hub" can wait on you Jn but a fraction of tho tlmo that it takes In an ordinary storo. This bvcs time, eliminates annoyanco uytho fact that the clerk is able to promptly satisfy your needs and reduces expense, oy fact tho clerks can wait on moro customers. Mind you, this is accomplished by giving proper attention and without slighting tho customor this is posslblo bo caUBo of tho convonloncos of tho fixtures and nrrangemont of tho Btoro. This was a PLAIN BUSINESS MOVE on our part. It is our business to sorvo you, and by giving you goods and scrvlco you require, wo gain moro business. By reducing expenso in serving you, wo aro able to sorvo you at lees expense to your- 8clf v k ' t . . , Wo outllno thoso facts hero becauso wo want to impress upon you and every other person in Coos County that tho Central Avonuo ''Hub" wishes to sorvo you better, financially and in every othor way, than any other store In Coos County can. Whilo tho Central Avonuo "Hub" will havo many oxcluslvo dines of mon'B and boys' furnishings, enabling it to koop strictly up-to-tho-mlnnto in Btylcs, you will find that tho prices aro right becauso of our system. High quality goods, ex cellent sorvlco, reasonable prices, aro features that should and will got your busi ness and these are what tho Contral Avonuo "Hub" has to offer you.
