HaRTMAN'S enlarged store.
For some weeks past the carpen
ters, painters and plasterers have
been at work in Hartman's build
ing, tearing out partitions, putting
up new shelving, and making many
other changes, and now their work
is done. The basement has been
enlarged nearly one half. In this
department are many lines of goods,
including dishes, tinware, kitchen
utensils, lamps, buckets, wooden
ware, glass ware, china, etc. A
fine large room covering more than
half of the second floor has been
added, and this is reached by a
wide stairway of easy ascent. This
room is handsomely papered, and
very attractively arranged, and is
devoted to ladies' coats, capes,
suits, lace curtains, window shades,
etc. all arranged so as to display
them to the best advantage. Hand
some rugs cover the floor, and the
excellent taste shown throughout
makes this department a most at
tractive place.
Some new shelving has been
built in the main store room, and
the additional room permits of an
arrangement of goods in a manner
not possible heretofore, owing to
the crowded condition of the shelves
and counters.
Mr. Hartmau's increasing trade
demanded these improvements, and
as he is always up-to-date, he has
done all that is necessary to keep
his store among the foremost in
this section. His establishment
how has more than three times the
floor space it had a few years ago.
Now with goods that people want,
and know they can buy at very
reasonable prices, and with very
obliging clerks to handle them, and
with a commodious store, the old
Hartman corner, under the pro
gressive management of its present
owner, Robert E. Hartman, still
maintains the same reputation that
it has held for more than fifty
years, that of being one of the lead
ing mercantile houses in Columbia
county.
