shoes, and the removing of
his large grocery stock and meat
market, will have much more
room for a better display of his
merchandise.
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.
