g ___________ § Ireland We intend making extensive alterations in the interior of our store this month. Contracts have already been let for tak- ing down wad-ls between. our two stores, putting in new shelving, plate glassfront in store, plate glass counters, re-painting, Kal- sornining, etc. How we are going to do all this Work and carry on our business at the same time we hardly know. Our present stock must be very much reduced to enable the work to go on. The carpenters, masons. plasterers and painters will be hard after us. and we want to rt cluce our stock by Two Thousand Dollars. Can we do i: ‘? We will try hard. What will our store look like when finished? We will tell you more about that later on.
