A large center show ease about which passersby may go to catch a better glimpse of Inner windows is a feature of the front display. Story Has Cozy Feeling Step Into the store and one im mediately senses a warm, com fortable feeling although the new stocks are not yet placed on the shelves. For example, take the drygoods department. Instead of long, harsh counters which have pre vailed In stores heretofore, short movable tables are between the shelves and the customer, afford ing the person who would see the merchandise a chance to Inspect t first hand. This necessitates no effort on the part of the clerk jnless the goods Is to be shown, when it Is placed on one of the tables for Inspection. Hosiery Department Convenient The same ease of access to the merchandising is proTlded In the hosiery department in the center of the store and the ready-to-wear department In the rear of the room. Four convenient fit ting rooms and ample mirror space make possible the custom er's utmost convenience. Kafoury Bros, have divided the large balcony into a mlllinerv and drapery department, the lat ter being one of the largest In Salem. Windows will be draned with curtains which can be readily removed to permit the customer to experiment with other designs oerore making a purchase. Directly underneath the balcony and facing the front of the store room la the business office made readily accessible to the public. Basement Largo Affair and then there's the basement I It is here that Kafoury Bros, thrift store la to be run a larce. exceptionally well lighted and at tractively painted basement. The electric fixtures are set Into the celling to remove them entirely from danger of breaking while the system gives light entirely by indirect means.
