SMALL GOODS, SUPPLIES AND RADIO
THE CONN-BOSTON STORE
This Week Headquarters for the New England Ter-
ritory Will Be Opened at 488 Boylston Street.
Beginning this week the New England business in
the instruments of C. G. Conn, Ltd., Elkhart, Ind.,
will be transacted from the Conn-Boston Store, 488
Boylston street, Boston. The C. C. Ward store at 249
Columbus avenue will be continued to handle the
goods at retail. At the completion of the clearing out
sale at the latter number last week, Mr. Ward said
goodby to the business he has loved and ably served.
On retiring from active business he will live at his
beautiful home in Newton, Mass.
The main store of the Conn-Boston Store will be
at 488 Boyston street, where the wholesale and retail
phases of the business have adequate space to grow.
The old Ward store at 249 Columbus avenue will be
continued until the big Conn clientele get familiar
with the new location of the Boston business of the
C. G. Conn Co. The retention of the old store is
considered necessary for a time as it has been asso-
ciated with the sale of Conn instruments for the past
thirty-eight years.
