In a talk with a Times repre- sentative, he told of his plans to install new and modern fix- tures, display counters, clothes racks and tastily redecorate and modernize his entire store. It is Mr- Dyer’s plan to convert his general merchandise store in- to departments, with a cashier’s desk in the center, and make it one of the nicest and most con- venient store in Dade county. Dyer’s Merchantile Company's store will be the only exclusive ceneral store in the county, that does not sell groceries or meats, Coming to Dade County some years ago, as an employee of the Baker Lumber Company, when that company established a lum¬ ber plant in Trenton, Mr. Dyer has shown his business acumen by becoming sole owner of the large plaining mill, lumber yard and a number of saw mills, and also owner of the Dyer merchan- Hie company. Mr. Dyer has also become a leader in Civic affairs in his home town and county. He is now serving as Mayor of Trenton. Dyer Mercantile Company plans to materially increase their store of household furniture, hardware, auto tires, and every way possible, to serve its Dade county customers their family and farm needs. “From Head to Foot we do the man,” also the women and child¬ ren.
