LARGER QUARTERS FOR F. D. BURCHARD

Variety Store to Move Into Makeever Building In Time to Holiday Stock.

F. D. Burchard’s 5 and 10 cent and variety store has outgrown its present quarters and is to move to the Makeever room adjoining Rowles & Parker’s department store about Dec. Ist, making possible the attractive display of a large stock of holiday goods that have already begun to arrive. Mr. Burchard some time ago considered the move but temporarily gave it up. The growth of his business, however, has so exhausted every particle of available room in his present quarters that it would have been impossible to arrange any convenient display of his holiday stock and the decision was reached to move to the room above mentioned, which has an additional dept of 40 feet and other advantages. Since Mr. Burchard took charge of the store some two years ago it has enjoyed a steady increase of patronage and he has widened many lines and installed many other new ones in his effort to keep pace with the demands of his increasing trade. The new building will give opportunity for the further increase of the stock and make it possible to care for the increased patronage.
