This dapartment wi ll be so carefully merchandised that shoppers will find it difficult to duplicate the bargains offered, it is promised. Rosenberg's was established in 1883 by Charles Rosenberg. When the old store burned in 1916, the present up-tod ate structure replaced it, and a great enlargement program was carried out at t hat time. When these plans were made, s~ven years ago, experts said the space g1ven to the various departments would be sufficient for a city of 50,000. Now that space is so cramped that the quarters are positively congested, officials of the store explain. Rosenberg's business has trebled in the seven years since the new building was c~ected, and in line with the policy it has observed since it was founded the company will enlarge to take ca;e of its increased trade. The present standing among the highest-grade department stores in Illinois will be enhanced by the enlargement program. S: S. Kresge company, who operate a cham of five and ten cent stores, will occupy the first floor and the basement of the new building. Henry Fitzgerald, J .
