Needless to say, what Clampitt &

The store is open and doing busi-
ness at both locations, and probably by
the end of the week everything will be
in nice order, and we know that owners
of the store are grateful to the various
salesmen of different brands of mer-
chandise who came in and moved their
products. You never saw as many white
collar workmen doing manual labor, be-
cause moving and rearranging a store
• as full of merchandise as that one is
hard work. It was worth watching, and
if you didn’t see them, you missed
something.
The owners invite you to come by
and see what helpful changes have been
made and in such a short time. You too
will be amazed.
