Many sky lights make it practically a "daylight" store, the ready-to-wear and men's clothing departments being especially light, making artificial Illumination entirely unnecessary. Fixtures, newly purchased and Installed, are all of gum wood and mahogany made loc ally by the Trowbridge cabinet works. At the rear of the store Is a mod ern mezzanine floor, with davenports, writing desks and a rest room where the lady customer may relax while shopping. .
