Wilmette University 600 1024 AT FOUNTAIN SQUARE--EVANSTON Hub Opens Evanston Store Next Monday With True Ceremony Henry C. Lytton & Sons, for 39 years operating The Hub store in the loop, will open a branch of the instituation in Evanston on March 8. It will oc- cupy the first and second floors of the Orrington hotel building, with en- trances on Church street and Orring- ton avenues, and is a beautiful con- tribution to the shopping center of Evanston. The opening will be graced by the attendance of Mayor Charles Bartlett and the taking of news reel pictures. The store sets a new standard in store decoration for the north shore, it is explained It is designed and dec- orated in Spanish style, with rich car- pets, antique walnut fixtures and red leather cushioned furniture. The showcases resemble Spanish chests. Tm- pressive entrances from each street and ten show windows carry out the Span- ish design and unite in a masive dis- play of hand-wrought iron grill work. "This marks a new era for Evanston as a north shore shopping center," de- clares a leading business man. "Com- ing, as it does, right in the midst of the campaign conducted by the Evans- ton Chamber of Commerce to promote shopping in Evanston, it is bound to have a marked influence on the city's business development. There is no question that it strikes a note of met- ropolitan quality in the business life of the town. It becomes the bell- wether of a flock of Chicago stores that have branches in what is fast out- growing the character of being merely a surburb of Chicago." Mr. George Lytton, vice-president of The Hub, says the Evanston store is more than a branch, for by close co- operation with the main store it will give a service that practically brings the whole instiution into the heart of Evanston. Besides, they have taken a step in architectural beauty that would be an ornament in the finest shopping center of any great metropolis, in this country or abroad.
