This Store Is Air Conditioned

From time to time, a lot of little changes take place on Main Street in Hazard or in the stores which improve the attractiveness of the business district.  Take the new air-conditioning at Major’s, for instance.  The store has been a real oasis during the hot days of this past week.  Major’s has probably had its share of window shoppers who have dropped in to enjoy the new service.  Another angle about it, too, is that it puts Carl Weiss and Willie Dawahare on even terms so far as dangling the “This Store is Air-Conditioned.” bait before the eyes of their prospective customers is concerned. 

Floyd Hall has made a remarkable transformation on the interior appearance at Hallnap’s by the use of a little elbow grease and ingenuity.  Floyd has rearranged his display cases and counters in such a way that it looks like a different store and it makes the store look larger, too.

Joe Eversole got the bug for knotty pine counters and they along with a new arrangement of counters, etc., have given Sterling Hardware a new look.  The “new look” was further improved by the new paint job on the windows and front of the store.  “Pooner” Phelps wasn’t sure he was going to like being surrounded by his new pine-panelled, U-shaped desk but latest reports say he’s happy about the whole thing.  1952
