Barry Will Move His Rug Store to Larger Quarters Eight years continual expansion of the David G. Barry Floor Covering store will make its largest step soon with the removal of the business from 514 Davis street to 806-10 Grove street, Evanston. David G. Barry, proprietor, an- nounces this change of location to a place with floor space seven times the size of the present quarters and states that the opening of the new store will be around May 1. "We have found this step necessary to serve adequately the friends we have made," states Mr. Barry. "We have outgrown our present space, and as our new friends become more numerous ex- pansion is necessary that they may be better served." Barry's store is the only exclusively retail floor covering store on the north shore and has drawn trade from all the communities to the north as far as Milwaukee and also many customers from Chicago. Mr. Barry has made concentrated effort to carry a stock equal to that found in any larger city, to that in Chicago or New York houses.

SSS TES -------- ES, td ering floors completely, broad looms, Wiltons, chenilles--both domestic and foreign--will be in stock. Besides there will be all the leading makes of lin- oleums. Barry's rug line itself will include many hand-tufted rugs and many for- eign makes. Mr. Barry does a great deal of importing through the eastern markets from which he buys all his stock, and hence will have German, French and Austrian rugs included in his stock. Through his eastern con- tacts he is also able to serve customers wishing special orders. The present expansion of the Barry store follows eight years after com- ing to Evanston as a pioneer in the re- tail floor covering business. Everyone predicted failure for him at that time, but despite all handicaps the business has proved its place in such a com- munity as this city. It was started at 514 Davis street in a store shared with a decorating business. It grew from its single room and took over the entire front part of the store. Soon the rear partition had to be moved further back and that action was necessarily re- peated until the shop assumed its pres- ent size. And now it is the demands of the store's patronage which makes neces- sary the removal to the Grove street location. There it will occupy a 7,000 square foot area in a store which will be entirely redecorated and remodeled to the needs of the floor covering busi- ness. Mr. Barry came to Evanston eight years ago after being ten years with Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., in the re- tail rug department. Previously he had engaged in the rug business in Syra- cuse, N. Y. His entire business life has been merchandising. He started in Rome, N. Y., in general merchandising in the days when, he says, men sold any and everything. As specializing became necessary he turned exclusively to the floor covering business. With such a schooling, Mr. Barry plans now to include in his new store additional kindred departments. 'With his floor covering business he is conducting a cleaning and repairing de- partment, which, in the new store, will be handled by the newest equipment to be installed. The work done by the .| Barry store has come to be regarded widely as some of the finest in this district. Mr. Barry still is employing the same workers as when he started his busi- ness. The next expansion step will be accompanied by the increase of his staff. First Scandinavian Ev. 886 Elm st. R. A. Thompson, pastor 809 Chestnut Court (Winn. 2304) Sunday, February 26 9:30 A. M.
