T11-1te ROSENBERG'S IN BIG EXPANSION To be one of Finest Suburban Department Stores Rosenberg's department store, Davis street, Evanston, will occupy 20,000 feet of additional floor space in the new S. S. Kresge building, to be erected im- mediately west of the present Rosen- berg store, it was announced this week. The addition will take in the second and third floors of the new Kresge building and will make the Rosenberg store one of the finest in the world. The lease from the S. S. Kresge in- terests to Rosenberg's was negotiated by W. L. Dormand and company, and aggregates, over a long term, approxi- mate rentals of $150,000. For many years this has been the property of Dr. Charles S. Hart and the Hart estate as joint owners, and was leased about a year ago by W. L. Dormand and com- pany under a 99-year contract to the Kresge interests. Arrange With Kresge Officials of Rosenberg's have been in Detroit for some time, making arrange- ments with heads of the Kresge com- pany, which has its headquarters in that city, for the taking over of the top two floors of the building the Kresge company will erect on the site of the old Bailey opera house, which is now being torn down. The old building was formerly occupied by Patterson Bros. and the Randolph Market. Patterson Bros. have moved to their new home on Church street, while the Randolph mar- ket has moved two doors farther west on Davis street to the building recently vacated by the National Tea company. The Rosenberg store will undergo a a complete change in the layout of de- partments with the addition of the extra floor space. A new and complete men's store, planned as the largest outside the loop, will be established on the third floor. On this floor will be also the house furnishing section, now occuppying the basement. An extensive line of house- hold utilities, which could never before be displayed because of lack of room, will be featured in the new section. A special section for boys' clothing, spe- cializing in service to mothers, will be established. The fabric section of the Rosenberg store will be moved to the second floor, with the completion of the enlargement plans. This will be done to give more display room for dress materials and will make it possible to give individual service. The shoe section, now on the first floor, south, will also be moved to the second floor. A high-grade shoe shining parlor, catering especially to women, will be part of its equipment. Plan Big Bargain Basement One of the most important plans under way is that for an immense bargain basement. Feeling that there is need for a large bargain basement in Evans- ton, officials of the store declare they will spare no pains or expense to make this feature big and attractive. 'This dapartment will be so carefully mer- chandised that shoppers will find it dif- ficult 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-to- date structure replaced it, and a great enlargement program was carried out at that time. When these plans were made, seven years ago, experts said the space given to the various departments would be sufficient for a city of 50,000. Now that space is so cramped that the quar- ters are positively congested, officials of the store explain. Rosenberg's business has trebled in the seven years since the new building was erected, and in line with the policy it has observed since it was founded, the company will enlarge to take care of its increased trade. The present stand- ing among the highest-grade department stores in Illinois will be enhanced by the "enlargement program. S. S. Kresge company, who operate a chain of five and ten cent stores, will occupy the first floor and the basement of the new building. George Slocum Secures North Shore Moon Agency It was a source of pride to all of George Slocum's friends to hear that he had aquired the exclusive agency for the Moon automobile for the en- tire north shore, including Evanston. His main sales room will be in Evans- ton, at 1029 Davis street. Mr. Slocum is one of the best known automobile dealers in this vicinity. LOSE INDOOR GAME The Kenilworth gymnasium indoor team played a practice game with one of the New Trier advisory room teams Tuesday and lost by a score of 1-10. The Kenilworth team will meet Ev- anston teams in the near future. BOYS T0 CHUM _ WITH BIG INJUN "Y" Plans Summer Camp in Home of Redskins Illinois boys will have a chance to play with genuine American Indians this summer. Two hundred acres, with nine miles of shore line on Crooked lake, in the heart of the Lac du Flambeau Indian reservation in northern Wisconsin, will be opened up as two boys' camps this summer by the Chicago Y. M.:C. A, Here a boy can give vent to his in- herent, God-given savagery without getting into jail, according to A. E. 'Cross, chairman of the camp commit- tee. He can run, climb, swim, fish, or yell like a wild Indian on the war- path, if he feels like it. No zones of silence, no traffic policeman, no nervous old ladies, no white stiff col- lars, no creased trousers. Just a chance to really live and give expres- sion to the pioneer and explorer in every normal boy. Big Chiefs Entertain Camping in these northern woods will give a boy first hand contact with nature, along with a chance to in- vestigate beaver ponds, travel by canoe over trackless wastes with an exper- ienced guide, discover deer, porcupines, grouse and many other wild creatures, who are at home to those who know how to make friends with them. Rugged outdoor life, invigorating athletic and aquatic sports and com- radeship with strong, clean men are the things that Camp Nawakwa ("in the midst of the forest") has for red blooded boys. In the cool evenings, campers will sit like woodsmen around camp fires, while Chippewa Indian chiefs tell some of the old legends of the tribe or entertain with their war dances. Then as the camp dies down, there is that wonderful stillness ex- cept for the mysterious forest sounds and the chance to look up at the great carpet of stars above and commune with the Great Spirit, who made both the wild flowers and the galaxy of worlds. Other "Y" Camps Fenner E. King, who serves as camp secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., will be the chief guide at Camp Nawakwa and will have associated with him other men of sterling char- acter and specialized experience in athletics, aquatics, nature study, canoe trips and woodcraft. Two camps for boys will be con- ducted at Hastings lake, near Lake Villa, Ill, where the association owns the whole lake. Good roads make this camp of easy access by automobile. Other camps conducted by the Chi- cago association are Camp Pinewood near Muskegon, Mich.; Camp Duncan on Fish lake, near Volo, Illinois; Camp Channing on the Kankakee river. The Y. M. C. A. also carries on the recreational and religious activities at Camp Roosevelt.
