The store was opened for business March 4, 1915. The interior was most attractive and homelike. Large glass-covered and dust proof garment cases lined the walls and the woodwork was enameled pure white. The floor was covered with a large green velvet rug. In the rear of the store was commodious fitting rooms and the alteration department. This store was in the old Columbian building razed in 1956 to make room for the new Merrimack County Saving Bank."
