The alterations, which be- | gan this morning, are deslgned‘ primarily to give the grorery de- partment more space. The quarters which have been occupied by the shoe and men's furnishings department will be given over to the grocery depart- ment, affording it additional floor space of 800 feet. In both the present quarters of the grocery department as well as in its ad- ditional space, modern shelving stalled. Shelves will cover both rear walls as well as side walls. New fixtures of the latest type likewise will be put in place. The enlarged grocery department | will have two front entrances—the lone in the present grocery quarters and the one in the shoe and men's furnishings department. “The grocery extension and im- provements will be completed this week,” said Thomas George. “Our stock of shoes and men’'s furnish- _Gets New Job l [ | | |Bad weather held Pilot Anscel Eck- |mann down here last Saturday.
