RAPHAEL RETIRES Louis Raphael Now Sole Pro- prietor of Department Store important change in New Britain's business world through the purchase by Louis Raphael of the interest of his father, Morris Raphael, in the firm of M. Raphael & Son, up-to-date dealers in women's wear at 380-382- 384 Main street. Mr. Raphael, Sr., has been in business for a quarter of a century and has earned a rest from the ar- ‘ the LOUIS RAPHAED. duous duties connected with the pro- prietorship of a department store. He is one of the best known mer- chants in Connecticut and his store is one of the most progressive in any city the size of New Britain. He be- | lieves that the burdens of conducting a large store are growing too heavy for his shoulders, thereby making it| advisable to shift them to a younger man. Under the guidance of Louis Ra- phael, the business should continue to prosper. Coming here six years ago when the department store was first opened, the younger Mr. Raphael has shown himself to be well adapted to this line of the retail trade. He possesses remarkable executive ability, combined with common sense and sound judgment. He is courteous and | obliging and it popular with the em- ployes of the concern and with the public in general. Much of the credit for building up the business of Mr. Raphael & Son is | due IL.ouis Raphael. Since the store was first opened, it is his hand that has practically been at the helm. Strict attention to business and to the welfare of his patrons have been his chief characteristics. Under his guidance, the concern has expanded and prospered so that it is now one of the most important cogs in New Britain’s business wheel. Starting with 2,000 square feet of space, the store has been enlarged to 8,000 feet. giving an idea of the young manager’s success. While he will be relieved of the burdens incident to ownership, Morris Raphael hopes to remain with the store if his health and strength per- mit. If he does, he will devote Lis entire time to the tailoring depart- ment, which will be enlarged in‘the near future.
