Souvenirs For Ladies Or
chestra to Furnish Music
New Location Among
Most Modern In State
"Open house" will be held by the
M. M. department More tomorrow
night Irom 7 until 9:30 o'clock In
celebration ol the recent opening In
Its new location at 220-222 East Main
street. Everyone Is cordially Invited
to attend. There will be souvenirs
for the ladies and an orchestra will
furnish music. No merchandise will
be sold during those hours.
With modern fixtures and equip
ment Inside and an up-to-date dis
play front on the exterior, the local
store is now considered one of the
most beautifully appointed in the
state. The front is especially modern,
there being less than 20 of these de
- sk?ns in the United States, It Is said.
Two large glass windows enable the
customer to see merchandise clearly
from all sides. The back Island dis
play window also lets more light Into
the interior.
Fine Lighting System
A feature of the store itself is the
excellent lighting system. 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.
. All aisles are wide and spacious
and display counters and cases are
conveniently located so as to make
shopping a pleasure. Departments
are segregated with simplicity . and
may be easily reached.
About November 10, It Is planned
to occupy the space now leased by
Dr. Jud Rickert, allowing the build
ing of another show window which
will balance the front and give ad
ditional space to the men's depart
ment and increasing the size of the
other departments.
Much Preparation
The M. M. department store re
cently moved from its old location
at North Central avenue and Stxtn
