EXTENSIVE PLANS OF FAIR DWNERS Will Make Their Store Even Greater Than Belore “New Brtain will have of the largest and best equipped department stores in this section of the country when the present program of altera tiens and remeodelling bLeing accom- plished at the Falr department store on Main street will have been com pieted,” say proprietors of that place of business. Workmen are engaged at the ent time in changing the entire front of the building. The space formerly occupled by the Sample Bhoe store and recently vacated by them will be utilized by the Fair, giving the tire fremt of *he interior an added width In Keeping with the general measurements of the rest of the place, A new type of Arcade store front will be installed, this being the first of its kind ever used in this section of the country, The windows will be enlarged and brought back to ap- proximately 20 feet, A large double door will be Inserted In the center which will do away with all conges- tion experienced now in entering and leaving the store, In the rear of the present huild. ing, a new addition Is nearing com- pletion. When finished, the 1ear wall will be torn down and the floor #pace will be laid out in harmony with the rest of the interior. This will aford & working and selling space of ap- proximately 230 by 40 fee New | type windows have been inserted in the walls giving light from both sides, | an unusual facllity in the general iine | of stores. A new system of lighting | fixtures will be installed throughout the entire store, intended to give the nearest approach to natural light that bas been discovered. The entire place will be invested with fixtures of a type which | will enable the managers to improve their selling service and the varlous departments will have a larger and more varied assortment of merchan- dise on display, The aisles will be econsiderably widened and the pas- sageways leading from one egd of the | store to another will be us spaclous | a8 the slzo of the place will permit, The Fair department store has always been known as a crowded store and it 1a to overcome this hanlicap that the renovations will be made, Besides the spaclous addition to the main floor, the basement space will be almost doubled in size. In the lower part of the new bullding being erected, a large storeroom is | being prepared which, with the for- | mer store room, will enable the man- | agement to have on hand at all times | a larger stock of goods. A wide and spacious staircase will | . be cut to the basement and will be | situated in the center of the main | oor, and the entire interior of the | building will be changed around. The new addition has been built in the manner of a big factory without any | pillars from the floor up. Steel girders have been placed to support the roof which will give a clear and unobstructed vision to patrons when they visit this part. The work of remodelling and renovating the store will occupy some time, but business will -be continued as usual in the | present stand. The ‘personnel of the business will not in any way be changed when the new place starts to operate, but it will be materially increased. The proprietors of the store, Mess;s. | Davidson and Leventhal, began in business in the present Fair Depart- ment store just 13 years ago and they believe that, although the number is | generally considered unlucky, that [the future holds bright promises for them and for the public in genergl. For this reason they decided to in- crease the size of their establishment. \They are trying to perpetuate their claim that the Fair has, since the ,start, been the greatest value giving store in the ecity.
