The new building will be financed by the Meyer-Kiser Bank through a $300,000 preferred stock issue, 6 per cent, tax exempt, to be offered to the public soon, Hahn said.

The building will include a basement store, with a sub-basement for machinery. Several new departments will be added, including shoes, jewelry, toilet goods, a sports shop and a beauty and French Ijprber shop.

Times Change! So Do Names

Even names aren't what they ased to be. City birth returns for the past lorty years show how given lames evolve from stiff hardened titles to compound affairs )f the Twentieth Century that! :rip off the tongue with perfect rythun. How many proud parents in ihese days attach the name of Elisha, Elijah. Solomon, or Ephriam to their baby boys? But back in 1880, such names were common. And in those good old da5 r s, firls were bestowed such names is Ferdinandina, Azaiia, Lizzie tnd Eliza. * Fathers and mothers of today evidently desire their children to labor under handicaps other than old-fashioned names. The modern Age has Jts modern names. M >

Recent records show the names of LaVeme, Oswald, Rudolph, and Fercival, have been attached to 1924, Indianapolis babies. One boy was named Asarene, the last word in name evolution. For girls, compound names have struck popularity. Asa result we have FrancesDelight, Mary-Margaret. RoseMary, Ross-Anna, Bonnie-Lou, Mary-Agnes. For single titles, Betty and Annabelle have a number of followers. But in spite of the passing years, certain names for both boys and girls remain. Every generation will have its quota of Johns, Williams, Roberts and James. Every year will continue to see Ruth, Mary and Helen in favor as girls’ names. These names are something generations can not erase.
